You watch your mail and open all mail even if it looks like junk mail.   Sometimes for reasons of its own, the IRS decides to mail you a check instead of making direct deposit.   Only the IRS can explain why.   The IRS does not share any information about that with TurboTax.

Yes, you will need to review the K-1 forms you imported and manually correct anything that is incorrect.  If in the future you are not filing MFJ, you only need to import your Schedule K-1 and not your spouse's.     Where do I enter a Schedule K-1 that I received?

You will need to do a couple of extra steps to get the prior depreciation worksheet to print when using TurboTax Online:   Sign in to your prior-year return Click Amend the return (this allows you to access the Print Center) Click Print Center on the left side of the screen Select Print, save, or preview the return and choose to Include Government and TurboTax Worksheets   This choice should include the depreciation report that shows the details of everything being depreciated on your return.     Additionally, if you have not started the 2025 return, you can try to download the 2024 tax data file to import it into your 2025 TurboTax program.  Then, you will not need to recreate all of the depreciation entries.   While logged in to the 2024 tax return, go to Tax Home.  Scroll to Tax Returns and Documents.  Then click download .tax file.   This file can then be imported into your 2025 TurboTax desktop program to give you a head start.   @tax6666 

If I understand correctly:   You received a 1099-R Your state tax due was $7,534 You had $22,200 as state tax withheld in Box 14 of the 1099R Please check all State withholdings posted to your return. @fcmatta 

Yes, you should amend your 2025 Federal tax return to document the removal of the excess contribution, even though you incurred a loss and the withdrawal was made before the April 15 deadline.    You do not need to wait until you receive the 1099-R from Fidelity in 2027, instead, you should enter a substitute 1099-R on your 2025 amendment using the actual amount you received ($985). Because you will have already reported this on your 2025 amendment, you will not need to report anything regarding this withdrawal on your 2026 return. Keep the  1099-R you receive in 2027 for your records.

This is still not working. When I mark “no” Did you install improvements or replacements for enabling property? The interview still takes me to “Improvements or replacements installed for enabling property and I have to select from the enabling property list and then the QMID code and then a cost you paid and total paid. I did not have any cost. Have to fill in something to finish the interview. When I finally get to where I can fix, the question “Did you install improvements… I can then mark no but I get other errors and cannot proceed

For the sale of land acquired by government eminent domain when the land is part of your business property with a depreciated home but the land itself is not depreciated, you generally enter the information from Form 1099-S in the section for business property sales. Here is how you can enter it in TurboTax Online: 1. Go to the Federal Taxes section. 2. Select Wages & Income. 3. Scroll down to and start or update the section for Business Items. 4. Locate and open the option for Sale of Business Property. 5. Enter details about the sale, including the information from your 1099-S form. TurboTax will guide you through entering the sales price, adjusted basis (considering depreciation on the home portion), and calculating any gain or loss. The land is typically treated separately since it isn’t depreciated. The sale of the business portion of the land and depreciated home use Form 4797 for reporting.

Are you using Desktop or Online version?  I (and others) have posted the solution for Desktop - go to the student's People Worksheet and enter the expenses there, they will transfer to the Student worksheet and the proper expenses will be subtracted from the 1099-Q "income".  If you're using the Online version, I'm sorry - I think someone posted a few weeks ago that it was fixed, but maybe not.

If you stopped using the vehicle for business in this tax year but plan to use it again for business in the future, you should still check the box for "Stopped using this vehicle in [tax year]". TurboTax treats this as a temporary stop for the current year and will prompt you to enter the date you stopped. This helps TurboTax calculate your business use percentage correctly for the year you stopped using the vehicle. If you resume business use in a future year, you can enter that information then without affecting this year's return.   @DougTheComputerGuy 

The Qualified overtime deduction is for overtime pay that is required by the 1939 Fairs Labor Standards Act.  In addition, the employee must not be exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act.   FLSA Type N - Non-Exempt refers to being non-exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act, so the Qualified overtime deduction is available to you.   For tax years 2025 through 2028, individuals who receive qualified overtime compensation may deduct the pay that exceeds their regular rate of pay (generally, the “half” portion of “time-and-a-half” compensation) that is required by the Fair Labor Standards Act and reported on a Form W-2, Form 1099, or other specified statement furnished to the individual.    Maximum annual deduction is $12,500 ($25,000 for joint filers). Deduction phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $150,000 ($300,000 for joint filers). The deduction is available for both itemizing and non-itemizing taxpayers.   

@TurboTaxAniqua   I have the same issue. Please link my account. Thanks!    " This should not have happened. Don't worry - your data has been saved. Our TurboTax application has stopped working properly. It rarely happens; we're sorry it happened when you were using it. Maybe the puppy helps, but you're probably mad and we're already hard at work fixing it. "

Yes, if you need to file OR-40-N, then select that you are a non-resident of Oregon when you start the process of going through the Oregon return, or go through it again from the beginning.     Also, go to your My Info or Personal Info section in the Federal return and be sure you indicate that your state of residence is somewhere other than Oregon, or that you lived in more than one state during the year.

The government allowed COVID-related withdrawals from 401(k) plans without the usual 10% early withdrawal penalty for distributions made before December 31, 2020, under the CARES Act. There is no general requirement to pay interest on COVID-19 related 401(k) withdrawals reported on your tax return. To determine if you were affected, check if you took a COVID-related withdrawal in 2020 using Form 1099-R and reported it on tax Form 8915-F or earlier versions for disaster distributions. If you used the option to spread the tax on the distribution over three years, you might see portions taxable in upcoming years.
