As baldietax said, as it stands, your traditional IRAs will always have some basis in nondeductible traditional IRA contributions until the balance in all of your traditional IRAs is zero. People in this situation often consider obtaining a return of the nondeductible contribution so that they don't have to track basis forever, or they roll the pre-tax portion of their IRAs into an employer plan like a 401(k), leaving just the basis in the traditional IRAs.

I want to view each form in the new return the way it has been for years. The drop-down menu will not work, or it is hidden. Is it supposed to be that way?

"there is no pay the taxes and move on?" An alternative would be to pay the penalties for 2025 and each year beyond until she is eligible treat the excess part of her HSA contribution for some future year, absorbing the excess. Although that would avoid the double taxation of the excess and early-distribution penalty that would result from taking a taxable distribution to correct the excess after the due date of the 2025 tax return, paying the excess-contribution penalties would still be be a waste of money and not a good financial lesson. So, no, there is no "pay the taxes and move on."

I’m filing my 2025 federal return in TurboTax and I’m trying to enter my Washington Paid Family & Medical Leave (WA PFML) employee contributions (these are not shown in Box 14 of my W-2, I got them from my Dec Pay stub). Washington does not have a state income tax, so TurboTax does not show a standard “state income tax withheld” section for WA. I understand PFML contributions may be deductible as state and local taxes if I itemize (subject to the $40,000 SALT cap), but I cannot find where to enter this amount in TurboTax 2025. I’ve checked: •Federal → Deductions & Credits •Estimates and Other Taxes Paid •State Income Taxes ( doesn't show WA since no state income tax) But I don’t see a field that allows entry of WA PFML contributions. Where exactly should WA PFML (Box 14) be entered in TurboTax 2025 so that it flows correctly to Schedule A? I am itemizing deductions. thank you Thank you.

Hello, I'm an Amazon Vine member, and I received a 1099-NEC with Box 1 containing $5,000.00 (non-employee compensation). $2,000 is my personal products I ordered, reviewed, and used myself, the other $3,000 are products I ordered and reviewed on behalf of my mother, who is using them in her farm business. Is there a way I can transfer the $3,000 to my mother, so she can claim this on her own taxes, like giving her a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC form? Or am I responsible for reporting the whole $5,000 on my taxes. If I can give her a 1099 form and file a copy with the IRS, how can I do this. It would only be one form to file. Thank you for your help...

I have a rental property in PA that has been rented at FMV for the whole year. I am an out of state owner filing a non-resident form for PA. In TT how do I handle the question attached. I also don't remember how or what I did for the last 3 years that I have been an owner of this property. I might have simply selected Yes but I'm not sure if that is the correct choice in my case.

"I think they need to change the wording to Jan 1, 2027." Ah, that makes sense.

We don’t know how much difference it would make in your tax liability so it’s your decision.
