If he is age 19 or older, not a full time student under the age of 24 and his total income is $5,200 or more then you cannot claim him as a dependent.   None of those living expenses to support yourself or your brother are deductible on a tax return.

I believe this is a scam as well! You stated to the gentleman that it should be only $40 feet. I process my return this year like I always do with turbo and this is the 1st time I’m getting my refund from a 3rd party.  I just received I guess what is believe to be my state fund and it was short $132. I went on the IRS and the SBTPG website and 1) it’s still showing that my taxes are still being processed and that $132 would be charged for my federal. When I put in my State nothing comes up. What is concerning if why would I have double the fee charge for both my federal and my state. Also if I’m receiving my state now , why is everything still showing that my taxes are only accepted but not refunded. I’ll will be reaching out to IRS and SBTPG

Since Tennessee does not have a personal income tax, leave boxes 15, 16 and 17 blank (empty) on the TurboTax 1099-INT If the error persists then delete the 1099-INT and re-enter manually to clear the error

I am also unable to import data from Fidelity Investments through TT Deluxe (Desktop Windows 11 Platform).   My experience is a bit different, I am able to enter my user name and PW and it connects to Fidelity and I get a message back from TT saying:        "Connection complete!  Success! We got your tax data. You can now return to TurboTax.".      However, when I go back to TT and look in my imported docs, there is nothing there.  I've tried this > 12 times in the last 2+ weeks and get the same results.  And I've closed out of TT and gone back in and still nothing.    I've been using TT for ~ 20 yrs and have imported data from Fidelity Investments to TT fine, but it's def Not working for 2025.  TT:  Please fix this bug.   Thanks 

Thank you for discovering this solution and saving many of us a great amount of time and frustration solving this.  Now I can say I don't need TT to fix as this solution circumvented the problem in 5 minutes.

If you are trying to make a deductible Traditional IRA contribution and you are covered by a retirement plan at work, filing a joint return, then the information in this IRS table shows the joint income limit that determines whether your contribution is deductible.  Since you are filing a joint return, your joint income is the amount used to calculate the Modified AGI referenced in the table.   Your spouse being covered by a retirement plan at work (and the higher joint income limit) only comes into play if you are not covered by a retirement plan at work since you are the person making the IRA contribution.   @twoho 

Since Florida does not have a state income tax, all income that you received while a Georgia resident is taxable on a GA return.  This includes all taxable pension income reported on a form 1099-R and the taxable amount of your SS income reported on your federal tax return, Form 1040 Line 6a
