@DianeW777 Diane, thank you so much for jumping in on this, it is greatly appreciated!  I did as you and @AmyC  Amy stated and chose that I converted it to personal use.  At that point TT says that I have to report the sale of the business property under the same exact section that you have directed me to use.  It also, however, states that I must ensure that the recapture box is checked.   I went to the section you and TT said to go to, and I checked the Sales of Business property not previously reported.  It also has the recapture box checked where it says "a recapture of a previously taken section 179 or listed property deduction.  I then move on to these entries....   Here are my entries: My total sales price is what I got for the trade in times business use percentage over life of use (14%). Cost (tax basis) is FMV at time I placed into service times the 14% business use.  Depreciation taken is the depreciation part of the standard deduction for each year, added together.   Does that above sound right?   Now I'm stuck:   I choose no, then this comes up:   I leave that blank.  Then this comes up: I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO with that last one.  It didn't fall to 50% or less for the first time in 2025.... it's always been less than 50% use in the business.  So do I choose no?  If I choose yes, it goes into a bunch more craziness.  If I chose no, its done and shows this:     Its showing Sale of Business Property as $1,865.  No idea if that is correct?  Is that like a capital gain like I was getting before I marked that i converted it to personal use?  Thoughts?   I cannot thank you enough for your invaluable help Diane and Amy (and others that have tried to help)!

If you are using TurboTax Premier Desktop, you can go to Forms Mode (click on Forms at the top blue bar if you have a Windows device, or the top white bar for Mac) and look at the four vouchers that TurboTax has prepared from your entries (Form 1040 ES 1 through 4) to confirm that all four estimated payments were calculated from your entries.    For the 2026 tax year, federal estimated tax payments are generally due in four installments: April 15, 2026, June 15, 2026, September 15, 2026, and January 15, 2027. Is it possible that you were looking at the three payments that are scheduled for 2026 (the 4th being due in 2027) and this is why you see 75% of the total?   See this IRS webpage for more information about Federal estimated taxes.  

It depends- you would have to file a Maryland nonresident return if your Maryland gross income is above the threshold on this link Requirements For Filing a Maryland Return.  Your Maryland source income would be for the 10 days you actually worked in Maryland, even if your employer withheld for the November- December period. However, to get the withheld taxes refunded, you would be required to file the nonresident tax return.     See How do I file a nonresident state return? - TurboTax Support   

Turns out, TT doesn't charge for the second state again. But it's not what it says in the first dialog for downloading - in it, it says that the second state will cost $45. Fortunately, I found another forum message here that assured that there would be no charge, so I tried to go further, and didn't have to pay. I wish TT just said that in the first dialog box, so as not to confuse people.

Do not enter the child on both returns.   If you are a non-married couple who live together with your child, then only one of you can claim the child(ren) and the one not claiming the child does not enter anything at all on their tax return about the child.   The “sharing” of child-related credits you may have heard about is only possible between divorced or never married parents who live apart and share custody and who have a written agreement to share the credits.    The child’s SSN can only be entered on one tax return.   Any other return with the child’s SSN on it will be rejected.   If you are a family, then work out how to share the refund between yourselves.

Hi Hal_Al, I'm just now making these changes.  We are filing an amended return for my daughter to show the amounts discussed above.  The IRS wants to know the reason for filing an amendment, do I just type in I added 1098T?  When entering the information for the 1098T Do I add the $5853 to box 5 and leave box 1 blank?  When coming to the end of TurboTax and TurboTax checks her return it says it found an error with the state return (Ohio). It asked for parent name and social security number and how parent was filing their return.  At first I was a little confused that it was asking for her information again and I'm unsure if I filled the information in correctly.  I printed the amended return and I don't see that information on there anywhere.  I deleted the amended return to try and enter the information again to see if it would ask me again but it did not.  I'm worried I entered something incorrectly and TurboTax saved it and it will get sent.  Why would it ask me that information and then not print?  Also, will they be able to figure out what we did if they put our 2 returns together since I entered $4000 in box 1 on my return? Thank you for all your help

I am only trying to print the full Form 568. I can only save or print pages/sides 1-3 and 7. 4-6 only show in forms. It does not matter if I try to save the entire Federal/CA combination, or just CA, or just the specific forms. 4-6 never save as a PDF, and/or never appear as an option to print directly even when selected in the list. But yes, I can see all the pages in the forms section.   There is no warning about non-final forms.  I am not using any other states I am using Mac Desktop Home & Business.   Your system refuses to let me put a token number in this message. It keeps removing it saying I'm trying to add a phone number. I've even spaced it and it still removes it.

Le 12 mars j'ai envoyé mes déclarations fédérales, mais il etait impossible d'envoyer les déclarations pour Québec. Aujourd'hui le 14 mars j'ai appliqué vos conseils et enfin j'ai réussi. Merci, mais quand même c'est inacceptable que le logiciel TurboImpot De Luxe, que j'utilise depuis plus que de 10 ans ne fonctionne pas correctement au milieux de mars. J'ai perdu plusieurs heurs inutilement pour chercher la solution.
