If you worked the last three months of 2024 and got paid in 2024 than your T4 is inaccurate. You will need to contact your employer to correct it.  How do I enter a T4 and a matching releve slip in TurboTax.   Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

These premiums are not taxable on the federal return but I have not yet found a California reference.   My guess is that if the programs are mandatory (as HIPP/HIPP programs often are, to reduce state Medicaid costs), that the reimbursed premiums would not be taxable in CA.   Of course, you cannot use this amount as a medical deduction on your return.

One of the important things to remember about the energy credit on form 5695 is that it is a non-refundable credit.  In order to use it you have to have a tax bill at least as big as the credit amount.  In addition the home energy credit does not roll over to next year.  So it is a use it or lose it proposition.     Take a look at your form 1040 on line 16 and make sure that the number that is there is greater than the amount of the credit that you are trying to take.  If not then the amount on line 16 is the maximum amount of the credit that you are entitled to.

I believe you are asking if you can deduct the costs you incurred to bring your book to market, which would generate a potential business loss deduction of over $16,000.   In order to deduct the expenses to generate a business loss, you would have to prove that you were in business. That would depend on a variety of factors, such as the time and effort you put into the project, the amount of money year earned from it, the prospect of future earnings and other things. You can read more about that in this Intuit article. If you determined that the activity was a business, then you could report the income as self-employment income and deduct the associated expenses. However, since the income is minimal, such treatment may attract attention from the IRS who may be inclined to argue it was a hobby and then deny the deductions.   If it is a hobby, then you need to report the income as such and you are not currently allowed to deduct the associated expenses.   

at least for me, who posted this original question, the deprecation and amortization function came online on 2/19 for turbotax online with CA as state.  if you are not seeing it, I'm told that clearing your cache in your browser (assuming online version) can help.  And calling Intuit directly for more input if you are having trouble.
