TurboTax is properly including Schedule 1 deductions on line 3b of Form 1116.  These deductions include Self-Employment Tax, Self-Employed Health Insurance, and Self-Employed Retirement Plan.  According to the IRS instructions for Form 1116, line 3b: Enter on line 3b any other deductions that don’t definitely relate to any specific type of income (for example, deductions shown on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), Part II, Adjustments to Income) You should not edit the worksheet to change this entry.   @WriteOffWarrior  @sbs11 
Are you receiving a pension from a retirement account reported to you on a Form 1099-R?  If so, the entire amount of the pension received in 2025 is the RMD.

My inherited Roth IRA distribution should not be taxed, and has never been in the 13 years I have been reporting it in TurboTax. But this year it is giving me a penalty, 25% of the distribution for some reason. I have entered the distribution amount, amount to be taxed entered as zero, distribution code T and went through the person inherited it from and the year of their death. 1040 line 4b gives the correct amount of taxable IRA distributions. Yet form 5329 lists the amount distributed as not including this Roth IRA distribution so there is a 25% penalty which is not correct. How do I fix this, or how do I get Turbo Tax to fix this in their program? 
Your fiduciary will generally calculate that for you but you can use this calculator.  https://www.investor.gov/financial-tools-calculators/calculators/required-minimum-distribution-calculator

Gambling losses in 2025 are only deductible as itemized deductions, and only up to the amount of your winnings. As such, if you don't have enough itemized deductions to surpass your standard deduction, the gambling losses you enter will not affect your taxable income. For most taxpayers, the standard deduction amount is $15,750 for single filers and $31,500 for joint filers.   Oregon also allows you to deduct gambling losses up to the amount of your winnings as itemized deductions. Their standard deduction is $2,835 for single filers and $5,670 for married-joint filers. If you entered your gambling losses in the federal section of TurboTax they should flow down automatically to the state program. I suggest you look at your state return summary  to see what your standard or itemized deduction is and then post a new inquiry here if it doesn't look correct. Here are the steps to see the summary, you may need to be working in the state return when you try this though:   Choose Tax Tools from your left menu bar in TurboTax Online while working in your program Choose Tools Choose View Tax Summary

One of the situations that TurboTax does not support is a policy that is not in the name of the taxpayer.      Dependent owned 1095-A: The program does not support when someone other than the taxpayer (or spouse if married filing jointly) owns the Form 1095-A.

Hi,   I appreciate the response.   NOTE: I do not use the on-line version!   My capital loss is way more than $3,000, but I believe that $3,000 is the max that can be deducted against income in any given tax year (as you were alluding to). Anything in excess of $3,000 should carry over automatically to a following tax-year, correct?   I believe that losses carry over "indefinitely" for an individual tax payer.  I believe my capital losses did carry over,  long time ago when I had a similar situation.   What is the point of using software if one needs to do things manually?    Perhaps the simple explanation is that I have not yet entered ANY form of income or taxes paid so far and I am getting ahead of myself?   Cheers, JJ

This is an unusual situation. It is not clear to me that the translation of earned income to unearned income (which is what happened to your HSA contributions) should be allowed to trigger the 8615, but to be fair, you could argue it both ways. You may want to consult your own tax professional for his/her opinion (yes, we Intuit employees are tax professionals in the Community, but we are not doing your return - not like TurboTax Full Service where a TurboTax tax professional does your return and signs it).   Tell me, are you one really good terms with your employer? I have a way of perhaps working around your issue.   Can you ask your employer to reissue a corrected W-2 with no code W (and no amount), and with your Wages in boxes 1, 3, and 5 increased by the amount of the code W amount. This would have been what your W-2 would have looked like if there had been no HSA contributions through your employer.    Obviously, you will now have the amount of the excess in hand because of the withdrawal, so it is only fair that you owe income tax on it. But with the corrected W-2, the HSA contribution will appear to be earned income, not unearned.    You will have a 1099-SA which is no longer valid, but I doubt you can fix that. The HSA custodian will want the money back from the withdrawal if they agree to consider the 1099-SA a "mistaken distribution" which would fix their paperwork, so you would end up being taxed on income you no longer have.
I still need help trying to file my California return.  I paid for full service and am not getting any - was locked out after I paid.
