Rene V4 -   Thank you for explaining about Form 2210. I will be answering NO and my time is not worth that small savings ($123 was a fake number but close enough) as long as TT will generate all of the forms I need to file - and from what I'm reading of your reply, it will.    Choosing NO!!   Thank you again.

You will need to attach a copy of the federal Form 1040 when you paper file the Illinois tax return.   In the File section in TurboTax Online, you can select File by mail for the state return, and the tax return printout will include filing instructions, including the mailing address.   Here are instructions on how to file your return by mail in TurboTax.

Baldietax -  Thank you so much for going through all of my questions and explaining about how the AI method works - for me is not even close to being worth $100 to try to figure all of that out. So I will not do so! Thank you again, I appreciate your explanation.    

Bonjour, Lors de la transmission de l'impot au Provincial, c'est l'erreur qui sirt à l'écran et je ne suis pas capable de transférer. Le Fédéral est parti. Il n'y a pas de formulaire TPF-1.U dans la liste des formulaire du tout, quand je clique sur formulaires pour faire la recherche

Because your filing status changed from filing jointly to now filing single, Form 2210 is required so that the IRS can determine your specific share of last year's joint tax liability.   If you answer "No", the Form 2210 will still be generated for the filing status change, but not to request the waiver.   If you answer "Yes", choosing the Annualized Income Method is usually the best option for self-employed people with uncertain income month to month.   Although the IRS rarely audits specific breakdowns of quarterly amounts on your Form 2210, it will require "reasonable accuracy" when entering the information in the series of screens.   If you are getting a refund and the penalty amount is only $123, you will need to decide whether your time is worth the savings.

A loss for the sale of a second home is not deductible and therefore does not have to be reported.  However, if you have a 1099-S, it should be reported.  Also, if it was an investment or business property you may be able to utilize the loss.  See Capital gains, losses, and sale of home
