The NJ 2450 form for excess amounts for NJ insurances is only filed if you have more than one employer.  This form can be filed with your tax return and the amount of the refunded insurances is included in your total refund already.  Unfortunately, your NJ return will needed to be mailed in.  Instructions that will get printed with your NJ return will tell you what you need to do, where you need to mail the return, and what forms you will need.  A copy of both W-2 forms will get mailed in along with the 2450 form (that needs signed and dated) along with your NJ 1040 (that will also need signed and dated.   The wording on the TurboTax page is stating what you need to do if you only had one employer and you had excess NJ insurances withheld.  In that instance, you would have to work with your employer to get the excess insurance payments refunded and you wouldn't be allowed to file NJ 2450.

Does anyone know when the software bug regarding the amount in box 34 (capital gains) of the T4PS slip will automatically link with the RL-25 box B (capital gains) without using an override F2 on  the RL-25 to put the amount. It does not transfer automatically to the Quebec slip RL-25 box B from the T4PS Box 34 of the federal slip. I called product support team and said that they will fix this bug.  So far nothing!!!! If I override on Quebec I will not be able to Netfile the Quebec return. Very disappointed with this software this year not professional at all.

According to the IRS Pub 527 - Adjusted Basis, because the property was not available to be rented until December 15, 2024, any costs for repairs or improvements that you incurred increase the basis of the property and should have been entered as a separate Rental Asset (improvements).    To correct this situation, you would need to file an amended return for 2024. The expenses that were deducted last year would be removed and the total expenses instead added as a separate rental asset for depreciation.   You would then report rental expenses incurred in 2025 on your tax year 2025 return, plus depreciation on your rental assets.   Additional information: Where do I enter income and expenses from a rental property? What kinds of rental property expenses can I deduct? How do I handle capital improvements and depreciation for my rental?

It's possible IRS may  assign you an IP PIN. You can find it in your online IRS account or request IRS to mail it to you.   In the U.S. call 800--908--4490,    @christianjfletcher3

Yes, but you will have to request it through the IRS. You will have to contact the IRS to update your agreement. Use the IRS Online Payment Agreement application to revise  Payment amounts,  Dates, or  Add new debt. The IRS requires all  tax liabilities be combined into a one payment plan. Interest and penalties will continue to accrue on the new, unpaid balance. WARNING: If you don't add the new tax debt, the IRS may consider your agreement in default, and require payment in full.

This is very upsetting. I'm getting an error message when attempting to enter 529 distribution information telling me that box 1 gross distribution must equal the sum of box 2 earnings plus box 3 basis, which it does. There are no typos. Reentered multiple times. Triple checked that the calculation is correct. It will not allow me to go further to complete the deduction assessment without this corrected. The AI assistant could not help and TurboTax wants to charge me for live help even though this is their issue! What can I do now?

I overcontributed $2333 nondeductible in error in 2021 over the $7000 allowed , but I did not take a distribution until 2025. I took a distribution of $6000 in 2025. I did not file a 8606 form in any of the years 2021 through 2024. I have prepared form 5329 to file now for each of those years to pay the 6% penalty.     My question is how do I enter this in TurboTax desktop so that the $2333 in not taxed again? The taxable amount of the $6000 2025 distribution should be $3667 shouldn't it?  Is form 8606 required (I have never filed it before but it shows in the carryover worksheet). 
You can choose to report the income that you have received through the 1099-B or the K1.  Just don't enter both!

In TurboTax Desktop, on the Income Topics page, click on Start/Update next to 'Interest from Seller Financed Loans'.  If you get the question 'Did you receive interest payments from a seller financed mortgage?' choose No.   If you get a 'Seller Financed Interest Summary' page, you can Delete the entry.   In TurboTax Online, from the left-side menu, go to Federal > Income > Investments and Savings. On the page 'Let's Finish Pulling in Your Investments' look for the tile labeled as 'Interest' and use the trash can icon to delete it.   @JimDiehl

First instinct questions the SALT cap, itemized or standard deduction and your income. Let's look at these: If you are taking standard deduction, the program is ignoring the state and local tax even though neither is being used. If you are high income, your cap starts shrinking. This could reduce the state and local tax until the program decides it isn't the best choice. Married filing separate is another layer of recalculating things inside the program. If you are filing itemized and these numbers are affecting your tax liability, you need to contact support so they can see your screen and determine what the issue is and how to help you move forward.

Thanks @ThomasM125 for the response and follow up question. By "UI" I meant the user interface (i.e. the Easy Step mode). When I do the total of everything that I see in the Personal Income page in the EasyStep mode let's say it comes to 100. Then when I check my form 1040 it shows a Higher value let's say 101. Since I do not have any rental or business income so I am expecting that my income in 1040 on line 11 must be equal or lower than the the some of all the items being displayed in the Personal Income page of the Personal (Tab). But in my case it is higher on line 11 of 1040. So, I am not sure where this additional income is coming from? Please do not hesitate to ask for any more clarification if needed.
@DaveF1006    For Box 1 of the W-2 form, the system won’t let me proceed if I leave it empty (Box 1 is empty on my W2 form as I have tax-treaty).
This doesn't work on my desktop version of Deluxe.  I can find where the PIN should be input, but when I type it in, nothing happens and it's not saved.
