Hi   I'm a non-resident of NYS with rental property.  The income for 2025 is net loss after expenses and depreciation.  I have no other NYS income.  I went thru the Turbotax questionnaire for NYS, but everything is "0" that is allocated to NYS.  How do I know if Turbotax actually filled out the correct forms needed to document my situation?   I want to make sure that the Passive Activity Loss is documented for future.  There is no way for me to check the forms filled out until I actually pay for the filing.  

This is under section "income" and "Investments" following the TurboTax advice on where to report rental property sales. We selected that the rental property sold in 2025, but had no rental income for early 2025 until its sell date.

Me and My wife both are 50 yrs old filing our 2025 taxes as married filing jointly. We both have a job and are partners in our LLC which is taxed as partnership with 30-70 profit ratio. When entering 401k for self employed , i get alert saying i am exceeding the limit for the year , ( 2025 tax year, the individual employee deferral limit is $23,500 (plus an additional $7,500 catch-up for those age 50 or older)  I seems that the turbotax application is not considering that i have a job also. example   LLC which is taxed as partnership with 30-70 profit ratio .The LLC has an income of 103540 in 2025.  The 30% partner has contributed $6768.62 for the 401k through the job and $24000 through the LLC as employee. The 70% partner has contributed $23383.92 through job and $7500 through the LLC as employee.    when entering this example i get alert.

I did not work all of 2025 and do not have a W-2. I am filing taxes because I had some unemployment income and an Obama health care subsidy, but I am getting a refund from the state of California. When I attempt to e-file my return, I get a message that the amount on my California Form 540, line 12, does not match the state wages on Form W-2, line 16.  Turbo Tax will not accept a zero in line 12 of form 540. What can I do?  Would someone give me an answer in simple terms that I can understand?  Thx 

I spent an hour with customer support and the support couldn't figure out how to claim the 401K auto enrollment credit in TurboTax Online.  When I jump to form 8881 I see a screen that tells me I just need to add pension plan startup costs (see attached screenshot), but there's no way to do that from self-employed expenses.  There's no category for this expense and if I make it an "other" expense where I type my own, "Pension Plan Startup Cost" and various variants of that don't unlock form 8881.  I'm on the premium edition.
