  I SHOULD HAVE SAID I COULD BE CLAIMED AS A DEPENDENT   Did you say you could not be claimed as someone else’s dependent, but it turns out your parent(s) can claim you?  Now your parents’ return is being rejected when they e-file, or it will be rejected.    Your part in fixing this will be to wait until the IRS has fully processed your tax return, and then you must amend your own return.  You use a form called a 1040X.   You will go to MY INFO and go through the interview questions to the one that asks if someone else can claim you as a dependent.  Say YES.   Meanwhile, your parent(s) do not need to wait for you to amend.  Waiting will not help them at all.   They can either print, sign and date their return in ink, and file it by mail.   OR   GET IP pin in order to e-file if your dependent’s SSN was claimed on another return   https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-takes-steps-to-help-prevent-refund-delays-by-accepting-duplicate-dependent-returns-with-an-ip-pin-for-2025-filing-season-taxpayers-encouraged-to-sign-up-soon-for-ip-pin-online-account     https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/get-an-identity-protection-pin     If you are the parent whose e-file has been rejected—- follow the steps above to file your own tax return that claims your child.   If it is any comfort, you (and your parents) are among many young tax filers who make this mistake.  We will be seeing plenty of posts just like yours.   And posts from the parents whose e-files were rejected....  

No. When you say you live in OH, it sounds like that is your permanent home.  If your primary home/domicile is in Ohio, and you happen to have a CO ID because it hasn't been changed yet, you would not apply for the non-resident presumption.  This is for people who stay in Ohio but they have another home elsewhere.    Why do you have a CO ID?  Did you move and just not change your ID yet?  If you moved into Ohio 2025, then this would not apply.  Instead you would be considered a part year resident.   

Where do I find my AGI?   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947   Your 2024 tax return shows your 2024 Adjusted Gross Income  (AGI)  If you filed a joint return then the AGI is the same for each of you.   Form 1040        line 11   If entering the amount from your 2024 tax return does not work, then try entering “0” instead.  If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.   You can get a free transcript of your past return from the IRS:   https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript Note: If you filed late or amended your return, your correct 2024 AGI may not be in the system.  https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1944348-how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online Note:  If you mail your federal return, you will also need to mail your state return.  You will not be able to e-file your state return.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online/00/26258 it is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it like UPS or certified mail.  Then you will know the IRS received it.     If you used the wrong AGI, your e-file  be rejected.  When you get the rejection notice, correct it and re-file. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/where-do-i-correct-my-agi-in-turbotax-online/00/26311

Yes, this can get complicated since it involves both inheritance law and cross-border retirement rules. You’re correct, inheritances usually aren’t taxed as income in the U.S. But an RRSP, much like a U.S. IRA, holds income that hasn’t been taxed yet. As a result, this is fully taxable to your wife. Here is how to report.   Do not use the "Canadian Registered Pension" section; as you noted, she isn't the owner of a pension. Instead, report it as Miscellaneous Income to keep the entry clean and avoid "1099-R" e-file rejections:   Go to Federal > Wages & Income. Scroll to the bottom and select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C. Select Other reportable income. Description: Enter  "Distribution from an inherited RRSP ". Then list the amount from the check. Even though you entered the income as "Miscellaneous," you can still link the 25% withholding (Box 17) to it and receive a foreign tax credit.   Go to Federal > Deductions & Credits. Select Foreign Tax Credit (under Estimates and Other Taxes Paid). When the interview asks if you have "other types" of foreign income (after it checks for 1099-INT/DIV), say YES  Choose Passive Income as the category. Country: Canada. When you get to a section that says Gross Income, type "Inherited RRSP Income." for a description Income Amount: Enter the same USD amount you reported in the Miscellaneous section. Foreign Tax Paid: Enter the amount of foreign tax from the distribution. This will be in a section where you enter the foreign taxes paid  Date Paid: Use the date on the check or 12/31/2025. Finish out the interview by selecting continue until the end. [ Edited 03/5/2026 I 7:51am PST]

If you are amending a past year return using desktop software, you should not have to re-install the software--unless you actually un-installed it.   You should just be able to open the return from your own hard drive.  Once the return is open, go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Tax Forms>Amend a Return

No, it will not be an issue to report it that way.  All figures on the tax return are rounded to dollar amounts, so no matter whether you enter $2,064.30 or $2,064.38, the result that will be reported is going to be $2,064.   This following comes from page 23 of the IRS 2025 Instructions for Form 1040 : "Rounding Off to Whole Dollars You can round off cents to whole dollars on your return and schedules. If you do round to whole dollars, you must round all amounts. To round, drop amounts under 50 cents and increase amounts from 50 to 99 cents to the next dollar. For example, $1.39 becomes $1 and $2.50 becomes $3. If you have to add two or more amounts to figure the amount to enter on a line, include cents when adding the amounts and round off only the total. If you are entering amounts that include cents, make sure to include the decimal point. There is no cents column on the form."

The earlier post by the "moderator" saying all forms are ready is NOT TRUE!  I just tied filing again, and received the same message saying that the CCA forms are still not ready.  Turbotax has just taken my money AGAIN and cannot provide the service!  Absolute nonsense!
