You may be able to take a § 1341 credit for the amount of the repayment in excess of $3,000 that you previously included in your taxable income (and paid tax on). See TurboTax article, "What is a claim of right repayment?" for detailed guidance on figuring and entering this credit.    In your fact pattern, you state that you only received about 1/3rd of the repayment amount as interest income; so it seems 1/3 of the repayment would represent a repayment of previously reported interest income for purposes of the 1341 credit. You also state you liquidated all of your crypto positions in a prior year; presumably, some amount of the repayment total would be figured as previously reported and taxed capital gain income.    Importantly, to the extent that your settlement repayment is offset by any distributions you received from the bankruptcy estate, that portion of the repayment is nondeductible / nonrecoverable (since you already recovered it out of the bankruptcy estate). And if your bankruptcy estate distributions at all exceed the amount lost in preference repayment, those amounts would be includable in the year received and taxable as income.   Because you state that you closed your account with Celsius before their bankruptcy proceedings, and you state that you then reinvested those redemptions of basis and earnings into other, later crypto investments, then I do not see why you would take a capital loss for the amount of the 2025 lawsuit settlement. Did you ever fully forfeit your total original cost value in the crypto or stablecoin investments due to bankruptcy or lawsuit proceedings? If not, I would not characterize this as a total loss of investment value or worthless security. Instead, any repayment can offset net gains / income (such as bankruptcy distributions) in the year received, or be calculated as repayment of previously included and taxed income. You should seek the guidance of a crypto-focused investment tax specialist (CPA or lawyer).    See also: IRS - FAQs Related to Ponzi Scenarios for Clawback Treatment

If Turbo Tax is saying Ready to Mail that means your return was NOT filed but it's ready for you  to print and mail it to the IRS.   And it will always say Ready to Mail. Turbo Tax doesn’t know if or when you mailed it and the IRS doesn’t update Turbo Tax when they get your mailed return. How to mail a return from the Online version https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online/01/26258 You can try to switch to Efile https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/e-file/help/how-do-i-change-from-mail-to-e-file-in-turbotax-online/00/26985    

If you are using TurboTax Deluxe Desktop, and your return shows the Standard Deduction even though Itemized Deductions are larger, you can follow these steps to resolve the issue:   Go to Forms view by choosing Forms at the top of the screen.  Click Open Form above the list of forms on the left. Enter Federal Information Worksheet. Find Part VI-Additional Information for Your Federal Return. If you find that the box is checked to select to take the Standard Deduction even if it is less than Itemized Deductions, uncheck the box and you should now have Itemized Deductions if they are greater. @fcjo 

When working on Investments and Savings, in the online Premium TurboTax, your software listed fund names used in the prior year. Instead of going into each one separately (and importing one at a time), I decided to import ALL the fund information from that financial firm at one time (I didn't want to review each already listed fund as some new ones were excluded). Now, I cannot get rid of those extra fund categories, despite the trash can next to them. I won't be able to finish or file online with them still there. Please help ASAP. I may have to start all over again and do the returns NOT online (which I was going to do anyway, except for your offer of free State e-filing).   I went to the Tax Tools but that would only let me delete whole forms, and I don't want to delete all that info I pulled from the financial firm.

To enter income from a Form 1099-MISC that is not from working, in TurboTax Online, enter Form 1099-MISC information in the section to which it pertains. In Wages and Income, there are several locations where you can enter a Form 1099-MISC.   If you enter Form 1099-MISC in the Other Common Income section, at the screen "Does one of these uncommon situations apply?", a list of options appears from which you can select that includes reasons for Form 1099-MISC other than self-employed income.   In the alternative, you can enter the amount under Other Reportable Income. In TurboTax Online:   Go to Wages and Income Scroll down to Less Common Income Go to Miscellaneous Income Select Other Reportable Income and follow the prompts. Enter a description for the reason for the payment. @Jakeado

California Form 568, Limited Liability Company Return of Income, is included in TurboTax Desktop Deluxe and Home and Business.   Depending on how you answer questions in the Schedule C or E section, it may generate automatically. If not, you can bring up the form by going to Forms mode by clicking the button at the top, then clicking Open Form and entering "568".   In TurboTax Online, in the California questionnaire, look for the Business Summary screen and follow the instructions to generate Form 568.   Form 568 must be filed by every LLC that is not taxable as a corporation if any of the following apply: The LLC is doing business in California. The LLC is organized in California. The LLC is organized in another state or foreign country, but registered with the California SOS. The LLC has income from California sources.  Form 568 can either be e-filed or mailed to:   Franchise Tax Board PO Box 942857 Sacramento, CA 94257-0501   SMLLCs For SMLLCs owned by pass-through entities (S corporations, partnerships, and LLCs classified as partnerships), the original due date of the return is the 15th day of the 3rd month following the close of the taxable year. For all other SMLLCs, the original due date of the return is the 15th day of the 4th month following the close of the taxable year of the owner. The TurboTax forms availability tool indicates that Form 568 is supported for e-filing but the payment Form 3522 may not be.  @fquinone
