Yes, that is correct because your Standard Deduction amount of  $31,500 is being added back for AMT purposes.  This is added back regardless of what deduction you chose to take. As I mentioned in my post:   Under the AMT system, Congress created a parallel tax calculation that removes certain tax benefits. One of the biggest differences is:   The standard deduction is completely disallowed for AMT purposes. This rule applies even if you itemized and even if your itemized deductions were $0. So regardless, $31,500 is added back for AMT purposes.

We have tested depreciation for less than 50% use but are unable to reproduce the experience you have seen. It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2025" file that is experiencing this issue.   You can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information.  If you would like to do this, please follow these instructions:    In TurboTax Online, open your return, go to the black panel on the left side of your program and select Tax Tools.  Then select Tools below Tax Tools. A window will pop up which says Tools Center. On this screen, select Share my file with Agent. You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click okay through this screen and then you will get a Token number. You may wish to snap a screenshot to post instead of the actual number. Reply to this thread with your Token number (including the dash) and tag (@) the Expert requesting the token from you. Please include any States that are part of your return - this is VERY important. If you are using TurboTax for Desktop, go to Online in the top menu, then choose "Send Tax File to Agent."   We will then be able to see the same experience you are having. If we are able to determine the cause, we'll reply here and provide you with a resolution. 

Sorry, but this is a very disingenuous response. I've been a TurboTax user for decades now, didn't receive an Intuit email on this (including in my spam folder), don't regularly hang out on this board, and don't expect it should be necessary to do so to learn whether Intuit has defeatured their software. Most of us did not know about the discontinuation until we purchased TurboTax for 2025 taxes and proceeded to enter/value our donations. I continue to be very unimpressed with how Intuit has handled this. 

Are you talking about the drop downs on Form 1 in Forms Mode in TurboTax Desktop? I am having no trouble clicking on the drop down for Type (for example) for Line 3 and having my choice populate the box...or are you talking about something else?   "but shouldn't there have been a dollar amount of the distribution in the field? " what field are you referring to? On a tax form? Which form, which line?

Try going into Forms mode and look to see if any forms that you don't need are open. If you do see one that you don't need, choose Edit > Forms > Clear Current Form, then Edit > Forms > Close Unused Forms to get rid of it.      

In the interview,  the Request for Waiver statement for Form 5329 only shows a few characters. However, in FORMS, 'Open Form' 5329 and click on the Waiver of Tax Explanation Worksheet.    The worksheet shows the full explanation you typed in, or you can type it directly on the worksheet.   @user17724768146       

Thank you.  Yes I understand it is an example.     But HOW is the % calculated?.   I spent 59 days of 2025 as resident in the state to which we moved.   To me, this means I spent 16% of the year as a resident in this state.  Is Amy's example based on 10% of the calendar year?    Because if I calculate based on your recommendation of "you would take your total income and divide that by the portion that is NC sourced".  I get a much different answer unless we have different definitions of "NC sourced"..

Hello again, @PatriciaV    I appreciate all your help.  I've found you are more helpful than the Business Assist.  So now I am doing the return for the Trust which is getting the 743b depreciation.  It doesn't seem like Turbotax is accounting for it in the Trusts 1041.  No do I see that the interest is being accounted for.  There are two rental properties with Code N interest amounts.  I have entered all the lines from the Federal K-1s (743 b depreciation (k1 line 13) and Interest (k1 line 20), but these don't seem to affect the bottom line.  The 1041 shows the sum of the rental income and a small interest income on a bank account.  Then it is subtracting legal fees that were paid and giving a $100 exemption (line 21 of 1041) but nowhere is the 743b or the loan interest being subtracted?  How do I do that?  And Colorado form 105, p4-5; sch B has the amount of the distributions (which was much larger than taxable income) and the percent amount says 196.1968 percent which is obviously wrong.  Can you please advise on how to fix it?  Am I correct that form 1041 and the k1 for the trust beneficiary don't need to be filed until April 15?  Thank you so much for your help!
