I still see error in Turbotax for the form 8829.  I believe you can still efile taxes by ignoring that error.  As long as you correct the property taxes manually on Schedule A, everything else is correct.  You have to enter the full property tax on Schedule A.  TT then deducts the right amount from it what you claimed for home office use from the total tax.  It also calculates everything properly for state taxes for itemized deduction.     If TT does not fix this issue, I will still efile even if TT shows error for from 8829 as long as there are no other errors.

Thank you so much for your response. My daughter is 21 and a full time student. We did not add any of her income to ours to change our bracket.  The thing I find most confusing is that TT instantly reduced our refund by $1526 when I said she was pursuing a bachelor's degree (1st question they ask)  Then it did give us the $2500 AOT refund after asking the other qualifying questions, however after the $1526 was deducted and then $2500 added, it was only about $1000 refund instead of $2500.  Our joint filing income is well under the maximum amount allowed. 

I received only one 1099-r from the account that I took the entire RMD for multiple accounts. Ttax wants to know what the RMD is for the one account,  but not all accounts. Do I just put in the total for all account in the 1099 question?

It'll be mailed by the IRS to you, at the address listed on your tax return.   An IRS CP53 notice informs you that a requested direct deposit for your tax refund failed, and the IRS is mailing a paper check instead.

That advice is not working for me. I used Chrome to download, with a cleared cache. I'm running Mac Seqouia 15.2. My hard drive is pretty full, but does have 7.5 GB available, so I meet the system requirements. All I get for a download is a file with a .crdownload extension that tries (unsuccessfully) to open with Adobe Acrobat Reader. I tried the help phone number, but there is a 40-minute wait, yikes! 

Hi @DianeW777 ,   For the asset where it rounds down to 0 units (and has 0 proceeds), should I leave that one off the return since I can't save the 0 units?   For the asset where I have various purchase dates, I can definitely enter the first purchase date.  There was no purchase of that asset at that exchange last year, so it's all long-term.   Thanks so much,   Tom

Thank you for your replay to my question concerning closing a single member LLC and reporting unamortized startup costs.  I still have a couple of questions, if you will indulge me. My Schedule C loss in 2024 for the business I closed was $11,448.  I assume it shows up somewhere as a loss carry-forward.  The loss in 2025 is $3,182, bringing the total Schedule C losses to $14,630. All the money paid into the business was at risk, and was money already taxed as income in previous years.  Will any portion of the $14,630 be recoverable through the tax process, if I'm informing the IRS that the business is closed?  How do I make this evident on this year's 1040?   Thank you! Thank you for your help.  I appreciate it!
