It is possible in the Nanny tax section, on the screen that says (name of taxpayer) Wages and withholdings, you entered taxes withheld in the row that says Federal Income Tax Withheld (if any). If so, the nanny tax due would be the difference between the tax and what was withheld. You need to look on the Schedule H to see what is reported on the form. If you are working online with TurboTax you can only see the form after you pay for the program.

Are saying that there is a payment appearing on 12/31/2024 which you did not make? Is this for your 2024 return or your 2025 return?   How do you know which payments the state received? Did you ask the state?   I don't think I understand your question. What does this mean "I accepted the estimated tax the State received." ?

In TurboTax Online, you can enter the sale of land by following these steps:   Open your tax return Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Wages & Income Navigate to the list of income categories Locate the section Investments and Savings and click on Add/Edit Continue until you arrive at the page OK, let's start with one investment type. Select Other and click Continue Follow the TurboTax interview to enter your information.  If you incurred sale expenses, you can subtract them from the proceeds.

There is no excuse for this. I am not asking them to get the breakdown right, just to alert me that there is a problem I need to address. THIS IS A BUG and needs to be fixed. How do I get their attention?

in "deductions and credits" "i'll choose what I work on",  on line" Child and Other Dependents Tax Credit Learn More" says 0$ last year 500$  when I press update it states    "It turns out you don't qualify for these credits"   but when I enter dependent in my info it states Good News! XXXX Qualified You for a Tax Break    

Yep...this ahs been going on for many...many...many.. years.   Someday.....someday they might show separate Accrued Interest selections on the follow-up page, to account for bonds related to boxes 1, or 3, or 8 and deal with their accrued interest separately from one another...but so far, we're stuck with just creating a separate 1099-INT for whichever bond-type is being dealt with.   Make a note in your tax folder about how you had to handle it this year...I'm not sure it will change soon.

Below is an instruction for form 1116 line 18 on IRS website, however turbo tax failing to adjust qualified deductions and not matching form 1040 line 15     Individuals: Enter on line 18 the sum of (i) Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR, line 11b, minus Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR, line 14; and (ii) Schedule 1-A (Form 1040), line 37.

To clear this error, you can say yes to "Do you want to delete the K-1" and then re-enter all the information from scratch. This will not cause tax return issues to delete the old record from your TurboTax save data, and then re-enter it anew. 

No, do not subtract it using S-119 if it is already excluded from the NY state column amount. Great logic!   On Form IT-203, New York is looking at two things: Column A (Federal Amount): This should mirror your Federal Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). If your National Guard pay is in your Federal AGI, it must be in Column A. Column B (New York State Amount): This is where you tell NY which parts of that federal income are "NY-source." Since you are a PA resident and military pay for nonresidents is not NY-source income, you are correct to exclude it from Column B. The S-119 (New York State Organized Militia Income) subtraction is specifically for NY State Residents (filing Form IT-201) or people who have military pay that is somehow included in their NY-source income (Column B). The "Double Benefit" Trap: If you leave the income out of Column B (which you should) and then also apply a subtraction modification like S-119, you are essentially telling the system to subtract the same money twice. Why your refund increased: When you added the subtraction, it lowered your "Federal Amount" for NY tax calculation purposes. While that looks great for the refund, it’s technically incorrect because your military pay isn't being taxed by NY in the first place if it's not in Column B. @user17736252621
