Under the car I can have a line llc C =10 miles and the second line Rental E=20 miles. It appears I can assign 10 miles to the LLC and 20 miles to the rental property.  The program even fills in the names of the different companies.  Then on Schedule C shows 30 miles and Schedule E shows 30 miles.  ---Funny thing but on TurboTax Business I can write in travel = $200, and it takes it. But in Home & Business I cannot override the numbers. ---

I greatly appreciate the guidance.  I followed these instructions.  Federal/deductions/HSA.  when I get to the HSA section there is no box to enter my contributions.  I been through this a dozen times and even 3-4 times with turbotax tech support.  They said they changed their software March 17.  Below is the screen, I get to.  But none of these apply.  Help please.   There must be a new way to input this info. 

It is not an either or when it comes to filing Form 8938 and FinCEN Form 114.  You have to look at the requirements for each separately.  It sounds to me like you need to file both, and there is not penalty for filing if you're not required to do so; therefore, if it were me or you were my client, I would file.  For an easy to understand side by side comparison of Form 8938 and FinCEN Form 114 requirements see the following IRS website:   Comparison of Form 8938 and FBAR requirements

Error IND-027-02 indicates an incorrect (per the IRS) spouse's prior-year AGI or PIN.   Follow @LeticiaF1's excellent instructions above.   Open your return in TurboTax and click Tax Home.  Select File and navigate to filing the tax return.   Update the spouse’s previous year’s AGI or PIN to match IRS records.   @Believ20 

Bonjour, Pour régler le problème il fallait modifier le contenu des feuillets importés manuellement: l'ARC avait plus d'informations que ce que turboimpot a importé. J'ai pu transmettre ma déclaration. Merci LiseD!

State tax refunds can often take longer than federal refunds. You will typically receive your state refund within 3-4 weeks or more after your tax return is accepted.    Your state refund is still within the normal processing window, and it is common for federal and state refunds to arrive at different times.   Confirm in TurboTax that your state return was actually accepted, and not just submitted. To do this, log into your TurboTax account, go to your "Tax Home" screen, and look under "Your tax returns & documents" to check your  "Accepted" status.    If you used a TurboTax Desktop program, you can click on "File" at the top of your TurboTax screen (in the black bar) and then click on "Check E-File Status".   Your state Department of Revenue is the most accurate place to check your refund stats. Use your specific state's "Where's My Refund" website to check the status. You can google it by typing in your state's  name and Track My Refund. You can also find information on tracking your state refund by clicking this link. How do I track my state refund? If you have any additional information to share or additional questions regarding this, please return to Community and we would be glad to help you.

Emily - The same thing happened to me, but the update they promised for 1/26/26 wasn't actually updated until the following day (perhaps because Intuit's headquarters is in California), but then on 1/27/26 the Wisconsin return was finally accepted. I suspect your update might actually be completed by the new date they have given you or perhaps the following day. Try filing your Wisconsin return then. Intuit's attention to this problem has been quite unimpressive. Too bad because it used to be a pretty good product. Regards, Mike O'Brien

@ cuong_bui  By the way, the link "Add a State" does not say "Add a State return."  It only says "Add a State" and is on the Tax Home page and is used when the interview has been closed by TurboTax.   If you don't see it immediately on the Tax Home page, you may have to scroll down to "Your Tax Returns & Documents."

where to go to do 1040X    Are you wanting to amend your income tax return?  Please clarify.   In TurboTax Online, report an IRS form 1099-INT and accrued interest as follows:   At the screen Now, let's review your 1099-INT, enter interest information.  Click Continue. At the screen Do any of these uncommon situations apply, select I need to adjust the interest on my form.  Click Continue. At the screen Tell us about your interest adjustment, enter amount and select My accrued interest is included in this 1099-INT. If your return has been transmitted and rejected by the IRS, you can correct your tax return and re-transmit.    If your return has been transmitted and accepted by the IRS, you will have to amend your Federal 1040 tax return.   If you used TurboTax Online, log in to your account and select Amend a return that was filed and accepted.    See also this TurboTax Help. @XP666 

Yes, you can open and fund a Traditional or Roth IRA for the 2025 tax year in 2026. Contributions for the 2025 tax year can be made up until the tax filing deadline, which is April 15, 2026. You must specifically instruct your brokerage that the contribution is for the 2025 tax year. 

California-sourced income is based specifically on the days you physically worked in the state.   Thus, you should use the Day-Ratio Method to avoid a potential audit from the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB), which is notoriously strict about residency and sourcing.   The standard formula that California taxes nonresidents on income earned while physically present in the state is:   CA Sourced Income ($) = Total Annual Wages ($) X {Workdays in California / Total Workdays Everywhere)   Using your scenario... Workdays in CA: 18 Total Workdays Everywhere: approximately 240–260 days (excluding weekends, holidays, and vacation).  if you worked 250 days total in 2025, your percentage would be (18 / 250) = 7.2%  Thus, if your TAW is $50,000 X 7.2% = $3,600 CA Sourced Income   Open or continue your return. Within your California state return section, Mark yourself as a Nonresident.   When the program asks you how you want to allocate your income, Choose "Work Day Ratio" or "Manual Allocation." Enter the specific dollar amount calculated using the formula above. Since Texas has no state income tax, you don't need to worry about filing a TX return.   You will file Form 540NR (Nonresident or Part-Year Resident) for California. Note: If you had Intel Stock Options/RSUs vest while you were in Texas, but they were granted while you were in California, CA may claim a portion of that income as well.   Make sure to keep track of your final move date (since you moved for a job. You may be entitled to certain adjustments depending on your specific contract (i.e., whether you were reimbursed for your moving expenses or not).
