Let's try this:   Delete form 321 (if that's the one that has the duplicate entries). Then go back into the Arizona interview and re-enter your credit entries, being sure to enter things just once.   To delete a form, do the following;     *** Desktop/Windows***   1. Go to the upper right and click on Forms, and  2. Select the desired form (form 321) under Arizona. Note the Delete Form button at the bottom of the form’s screen.   *** Desktop/Mac***   1. Switch to Forms Mode by selecting the Forms icon. 2. From the menu, select the form (form 321) under Arizona you want to remove (if you don't see it, select Open Form at the top). From the Forms menu, select Remove [form name].   *** Online ***   1. go to Tax Tools (on the left), and navigate to Tools->Delete a form  2. delete form 321 (under Arizona)   3. go back and redo your Arizona interview.    

You need to report the sale proceeds as investment sales. If you can determine the cost basis you can enter that, or enter $0 if you aren't concerned about it, as it may be minimal. For the dates, you need to pick an acquisition date that will either give you a long-term holding period (over one year) or short-term (one year or less). Again, if the amounts are minimal you can choose a short-term period if you want to be conservative, as that would likely give a less favorable tax treatment. Otherwise, you may have to ask the broker for help determining an accurate cost basis and acquisition date.

A number of sources indicate that for a non-itemized return, cash charitable donations are above-the-line, i.e. subtracted from the AGI. One example: https://tax.thomsonreuters.com/news/a-tale-of-two-above-the-line-deductions/ However, in agreement with your comment, IRS Topic 506 doesn't actually say whether the deduction is subtracted from AGI or treated explicitly as a deduction after AGI in calculating Taxable Income. In either case, if I am correctly interpreting IRS 506 (maybe I'm not...), Taxable Income should decrease by the amount of the contribution. So apparently TurboTax ignored that tax law change in the WhatIf calculations for 2026 presumably until the IRS decides. I would have preferred that the What-If form contained a provisional line item (maybe color coded as a warning, with a pop-up to explain that it is provisional) rather than just ignore the tax law change. Or even just an explicit list of tax changes or situations that are not supported. The On-Demand Guidance for the What-If worksheet only says "The What-If Worksheet does not support all calculations that may be required for every tax situation."

Estimated taxes are calculated based on the tax you expect to owe for the year, so if your taxable income will be $12,000 lower in 2026, your estimated tax should also go down.    You can calculate it by estimating your total 2026 income, subtracting deductions, figuring the tax using the IRS tax tables, then dividing that amount into four quarterly payments.    To avoid penalties, the IRS “safe harbor” rule says you can instead pay 100% of your 2025 total tax (110% if your AGI was over $150,000), even if your 2026 income is lower.

Not sure what calculation you are referring to and what your question means.  But, Estimated taxes (ES) are meant to be paid "timely" = quarterly by default, in order to meet the 'safe harbor' amount of tax due to avoid a penalty.  The safe harbor is the smaller of: 100% of prior year tax (110% if prior year AGI > 150k or 75 if filing MFS), or 90% of current year tax.  Take that safe harbor, minus withholding, and divide by 4 and that is what is due in ES per quarter, by default.  Withholding is always considered timely.   When you file for 2025, Turbotax will generate ES vouchers by default based on 100/110% of prior year tax and assumes withholding for 2026 is the same as 2025.  You can provide 2026 income information to further optimize the ES calculations under Other Tax Situations / Form W4 and Estimated Taxes (or use other calculators - these vouchers are not filed in your return and are optional to use).   See instructions for Form 2210 or Form 1040-ES for more information on the calculations.
