That depends. As a general rule, whoever the child lived with for more than half the year can claim the child as a dependent. As XmasBaby0 mentions above, it's important for you and your ex to decide which of you will claim your child because if both of you claimed your child on your respective tax returns, it will delay the processing time so the IRS can determine which parent can claim the child.   The parent the child lives with the most is considered the custodial parent and the other parent the noncustodial parent. The custodial parent can allow the noncustodial parent to claim the child, but it must be documented.  You can use IRS Form 8332 to release the dependent exemption. This would allow the noncustodial parent to claim the child. However, the noncustodial parent typically cannot use the child to claim the Earned Income Credit (EIC) or Head of Household status, even with Form 8332.   The IRS will use the residency rule to determine who can claim the child if both parents claim the child. This rule says that who has the child the most nights can claim the child. If the number of nights are equal, the parent with the higher adjusted gross income will be allowed to claim the child as a dependent. So keep in mind, if, for example your ex is determined to be the custodial parent but lets you claim your child as a dependent on your tax return, you can not use that child for purposes of claiming head of household or the earned income credit.       Click here for Rules for Claiming Dependents on Taxes   Click here for Claiming a child as a dependent when parents are divorced, separated or live apart Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.  

Return to the Schedule K-1 topic and edit the K-1 with Box 20 information. Continue through the interview until you see "We see you have Section 199A information." Check the box that applies (usually the first option). On the page "We need some information about your 199A income," be sure to check the first box and enter at least one type of income. Check any other boxes that appear on Statement A and enter the related amount. Continue back to the K-1 summary page.

In the prior years' print PDF, try Ctrl + F searching for 4562. This should help pull up the location of Form 4562, Depreciation and Amortization.    If this does not work, try re-printing, and selecting the print setting to print all calculation worksheets:      You can also print the Depr Report separately, by switching to Forms mode in the upper-right hand corner (in TurboTax desktop Windows), select Depr Report from Forms in My Return on the left-hand side menu, and selecting Print from the bottom underneath the form.

I, and others, have asked the same question, and have the same concerns (for the sake of not carrying over to next year's return). TT clearly has a bug (several bugs in fact), and seems to not care, and is doing nothing to fix this and other issues, and get it off of the Income Summary Page, so it does not transfer over next year. It should not even be on this year's return.

Option 1 is correct. Every page you send to the IRS must have "Superseded Return" written at the top of the page.   Adding that notation to worksheets (options 2/3) is optional but might prove useful for your records.

I had a similar problem with Form 5695 not calculating any tax credit when it should have -- TT Deluxe desktop for Mac. In my case, I bought a heat pump water heater last year and claimed the credit on Line 29 (section B) of form 5695, however TT didn't correctly calculate the tax credit amount on Line 29h.   After installing the latest update this morning it's working correctly now. Thanks!

See this for transferring tax data to the current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/transfer-last-year-return-turbotax-online/L279eUvY2_US_en_US   This can only be done when you start the 2025 tax return.

If you qualify, you can claim the credit when you prepare your Kansas resident tax return. On the Take a look at Kansas credits and taxes page, scroll down and click Start next to Other Credits and Credit Carryovers. Answer YES and then enter the amount on the KS-26 line; it's the 4th item in the list.

When I tested the situation you described, the section for retirement income reported on Form 1099-R actually came up before Social Security income.  If you did not get that option, then use the instructions provided above by user xmasbaby0 to enter your Form 1099-R income or take a look at the following TurboTax help article for instructions:   Where do I enter my 1099-R?   Please also share which version of TurboTax you are using so I can follow-up with that particular version to be sure there is not an issue that needs further investigation.   @dbputman
