There’s no way Turbo Tax would or should know that.   They are not allowed to see or use your personal info or account info especially if you used the Desktop program.   And a lot of people have to switch to Online this year since you need Windows 11 or Mac OS 14 to install the Desktop program.   

Funny that Turbo Tax takes the position that its just a warning and leaves it to the user to figure it out.  I dont know about others but i could not figure it out. If i could i would be do taxes for others for a living.  I just ended up ignoring it and submitted my taxes.  For what its worth the error message made no sense to my situation.  

Check your 2023 tax return Form 4562 for the business % you entered for the vehicle in that first year - the amount of depreciation will be limited to the business % you reported. You may be able to see your total allowable cost for depreciation by checking Part I - "(b) Cost (business use only)" of Form 4562 for the vehicle's details. If you said that it would be used 50% in business, and the rest personal, then only roughly $34,080 * .5 = $17,040 would be allowed in yearly depreciation and Sec. 179 expense combined.   To print a copy of your 2023 tax return:   To see or print a PDF of your tax return, select your product and follow the instructions.

If you have a company covered 401(k) and received a 1099-R that is not related, you do not need to delete the 1099-R summary.   The suggestion to delete was only if you had attempted to create a 1099-R as part of your Traditional IRA conversion, so if you're only seeing the 1099-R that should be there, you're set.

@user17741887275 A warning is not an "alarm", it just the program asking you to double check something, which is why you get the option to ignore it. This is different from an error, which is telling you that something is wrong, and must be fixed.   @Vadodara The person who originally started the thread last year said he resolved the issue - "I found an override for a field for net capital losses applied against taxable capital gains that was causing the problem.  Seems I had change a setting earlier in the menus about this and it did not reset a field properly". Have you checked to see if you had any overrides?      

I do have a problem. I know what scientific notation is. I'm also a software engineer and I know what happened here and I don't trust TurboTax to upload electronic forms to IRS correctly.   I see two bugs here: 1. TT uses wrong kind of intToString function, which falls back to scientific notation when it shouldn't 2. Then, it doesn't support scientific notation in their stringToInt implementation when reads it back   IRS would likely also have bug #2, so there's a good chance my 10^(-4) BTC will be interpreted as ~1 BTC.   Is this a correct place to report bugs in TT?
