It was declared a life estate at the time and we did not have full control.  So you are saying FMV is based on his date of death.  That is how I read your response.  So FMV is essentially 2026 for capital gains.   Furthermore, if the house is sold quickly withing several months of his passing, would not the sale dictate FMV and as a result there would essentially be zero (0) capital gains taxes?

In MA, gambling losses can only be deducted to the extent that they are from MA-source lotteries:  A taxpayer may claim a deduction for qualifying sports wagering and gambling losses incurred in the calendar year from the above Massachusetts sources only if the taxpayer had sports wagering or gambling winnings in the same calendar year from any such Massachusetts source. ^ per 2025 MA Form 1 personal income tax return instructions.   While gambling losses are limited, all gambling winnings from any source are taxable and includable in income for state purposes.

I have the same situation. I donated some stock I’ve held for a long time to my church. Had I sold them I would have paid taxes on sizable  capital gains .  I also noted they asked for my original purchase price, which is irrelevant , but I entered if and they didn’t use it to compute capital gains. 

I tried Mike9241's methodology which did not work today 2/28/26. His suggestion follows this question.  I was able to complete step 7, but instead of getting to a page for identifying an overpayment to be applied.  I was taken back to A few things before we wrap of your state taxes page.  It appears as though you want Turbotax preparers to send in paper forms to apply an overpayment rather than submit state returns online.           Mike9241 Level 15       I use desktop so hope this works. More hoops than a circus to jump through open the state tab and see if there's a link for estimated tax payments - if so, click on it. If not you'll need support on next page select estimated tax payments for next year yes you want to pay estimated taxes yes you'll be an illinois resident leave amounts and exemptions blank unless you really want TurboTax to generate estimates for 2026 continue until you reach the payment option page Select any except "no estimates" and continue the next page should say "apply overpayment"  i would select "apply a specific amount" continue  enter the amount, and you're done   Thursday  

@user17715230038  Non il n'y a pas encore eu de mise à jour, pour le moment, avec le formulaire TP218. Il est toujours dans la liste des formulaires verrouillés.   Veuillez consulter la liste des formulaires sur cet article:   Pourquoi TurboImpôt indique-t-il que mes formulaires sont verrouillés ou n’ont pas été finalisés?   Merci pour votre patience.

If you claim the EITC or ACTC, we may need more information from you about your return. If we do, we will send you a letter.If you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), your refund is generally expected by March 2, provided:   You file your return online. You opt for direct deposit. We find no issues with your return. Some taxpayers might receive their refunds a few days earlier. You should check Where’s My Refund for your specific refund date. Most early EITC/ACTC filers should see an updated status in Where's My Refund by February 21.  

Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)     See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return -   CURRENT YEAR https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk     Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return    

You must obtain a Form 1095-A to successfully e-file your tax return.   Before trying to file again,  contact Tricare to make sure whether or not they issue Form 1095-A. If they double-check that they don't issue this form, you will need to paper-file your return.   For instructions on how to file your return by mail, use this link.
