Exactly. I called Turbo Tax Support to report thr issue and hope to have an update, but they refused to understand the issue and log a ticket.    My ticket was closed without resolution. When I asked why, support said I will get a call from Supervisor, which I never did.   I've been a WinTax/TurboTax user for 30 years, and this year I'm totally disappointed.    The idea is that they are forcing people to buy Premier edition    

In TurboTax Online, when you are amending your state return and adding or updating state information on your W-2, the program automatically saves your entries when you select Continue or Done after entering the data. Make sure after updating boxes 15–17 for state code, state wages, and state tax withheld, you click Continue until you return to the W-2 Summary screen. Leaving the screen without continuing may cause the information not to save. If the information still doesn't save, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser and repeat the steps. Do you want me to guide you through the exact steps to update and save your W-2 state info during a state amendment?

If a private insurance company or third-party administrator handles your Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) payments instead of a state agency, you might receive a 1099-MISC (typically with the amount in Box 3) rather than a 1099-G. To report this in TurboTax, navigate to the "Other Common Income" section and enter the 1099-MISC details. Ensure you specify that the payment was not related to self-employment or your regular work to prevent being charged unnecessary self-employment taxes.   To enter your 1099-MISC for Paid Family and Medical Leave in TurboTax Online, follow these steps: 1. Go to the Wages & Income section. 2. Find the 1099-MISC and Other Common Income area and select Start or Update next to Income from Form 1099-MISC. 3. Answer Yes to "Did you get a 1099-MISC?" 4. Enter the details exactly as they appear on your form.

Given the choices that you mentioned, click on Wages and Income Summary.  Then answer any questions that come up.  Finally, you should see an option to Add More Income.  Clicking this will open more categories to find Less Common Income at the bottom of the screen.   Then go to Miscellaneous Income 1099-A, 1099-C and then to Other Reportable Income.     @ryfischer 

While it can be frustrating, it’s common for the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to make a tax return assessment that is different from yours.   The reasons for these discrepancies may vary and can range from very simple (typo or data entry error, forgotten slip, receipt, amount, etc.) to complex (carry-forward amounts not included, accounting errors, etc.).    In most cases, the CRA will explain how they calculated your tax refund or balance owing, and you can find this information on your Notice of Assessment (NOA) under the heading "Explanation of changes and other important information." Compare the line numbers on your NOA and their corresponding values with those entered into TurboTax.   The CRA will send you an NOA (or it will appear in your "CRA My Account" under "My Mail"). Look at the "Explanation of changes and other important information" section. It will specifically list what was changed.   Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Let's start with your post from March 18th. I was able to download and view the screenshot. Yes, it's correct for TurboTax to select recapture. This is not important and has been answered in the original steps. Trade-in is a sale and you selected converted to personal use which is correct. I see it isn't in the screen showing the 1993 Honda Civic - but on this screen it does show it was placed in service in 2006, so as closely as you can remember the cost, if you have no record, you can use the business use percentage of that cost. It appears on the Sale of Business or Rental Property that you have entered a business cost basis. The actual recapture amount will be the depreciation up to the amount of gain. In your case the gain is $480 because the depreciation wiped out your business cost completely and you are left with this gain (the full sales price).   Thank you for your patience and for your kind words. @SyberKnight    [Edited: 03/21/2026 | 6:27 AM PST]
