Thanks for your response. You mentioned - "In step 7, Did you get a 1099-DA from XXX?, select Yes." So even if one doesn't have a 1099-DA, I still say YES at this step and proceed? I tried with No and I'm not convinced TT handles it correctly in this case, as it complains that description of the asset is unknown though I have named the asset and entered all details. Instead, If I choose the 'Other' category instead of  Digital Assets, TT seems to handle it a little better though it's classified as an other/unnamed asset. In the light of this, would you recommend this vs the 1009-DA step 7 YES selection? Thanks.

If you are trying to find to find your last year's AGI so you can e-file, refer to the TurboTax Help article  How do I find last year's AGI? and How to Find Your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) to E-file Your Tax Return?

By the response from @DianeW777  above suggests that I can split the 1099 into two separate entries/investments -- one using the Total entry; and a 2nd one using the Details by  individual transactions -- with Wash Sale adjustment..  Then all required details will be on the Form 8949 that is part of the Tax Return that is efiled.  So no Form 8453 will be needed?   Splitting the info on a 1099 seems to be a common solution to other TurboTax's deficiencies!  

No, you do not list your Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) in the Deductions and Credits Section. Since your QCD wasn't captured when you downloaded your 1099-R, delete it and re-enter it manually.   How to delete a 1099-R and add another one:   Open TurboTax Go to Wages & Income Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security Select Revisit by IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) Select the trash can next to the 1099-R that you want to delete Select Add a 1099-R. After you enter your 1099-R, TurboTax will ask you a series of questions regarding your distribution.    Select I transferred all or part of this money directly to charity on the Do any of these situations apply to you? Screen. Enter the amount that was transferred directly to charity when you get to that screen.   You will get a screen that tells you the amount of your retirement distribution that is designated as a nontaxable Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).   Refer to the TurboTax Help article  Where do I enter my 1099-R? for navigation instructions.    

@vivianoliver wrote: There was nothing on the K1 regarding the sale of the stock.  The stockholders sold their stock.  When I enter the sale numbers, because there were two stockholders, shouldn't this be split?     If you sold the stock of the corporation, you only enter what YOU sold your stock for.  You don't enter what somebody else received for selling their stock.   Does that answer your question?  If not, maybe you can clarify things.  The corporation itself (the stock) was sold, right?  The corporation didn't merely sell its assets, right?

"Active Participation" (or even "Material Participation") of a rental does NOT make it non-passive.  Are there other circumstances that you think makes it non-passive?   Or are you referring to the allowance of up to $25,000 of losses for Active Participation of rental real estate?

Because your child was born in 2026 they are not listed as a dependent on your 2025 tax return.  Therefore, you won't be able to file the form to get a Trump account through TurboTax.  You can still get your child a Trump account.  The instructions and form are available here:  https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i4547
