Well, I don’t have a resolution from TurboTax yet…. Apparently the person I spoke to Monday did not document my issue well…   The following is a copy/paste of what I just posted in this forum (in the question I posted back on Saturday… hoping I can get some more info about this actually being addressed and fixed).  There were a couple TT “experts” who had responded with suggestions to try to fix my zip code issue, but they were things that I’d already tried.   I’ll let you know when this finally gets resolved.     ************************************************ Following up with an update and still hoping you could help.  Is there any way you could look into or provide me with some info/guidance that the powers that be at TurboTax are aware of this PROGRAMMATICAL error that needs to be fixed?   My update…   When I called TurboTax customer service yesterday, apparently the person I spoke to on Monday didn’t document my issue well, and all that was documented was that I had a problem with my zip code for the MI Homestead Tax Credit, such that the person I spoke to yesterday thought my issue was that I didn’t know my correct zip code… OMG.  And, at first she thought I was calling about getting a refund (on my TurboTax purchase).  Nope.   So the person yesterday said she did a much better job documenting what the issue is and that I should give it a few more days to see if it gets fixed… because when she checked in with a colleague about my issue, apparently the colleague looked on this community forum and saw that this issue had been included on this forum; therefore, she said TurboTax knows to fix it. Well, it was MY POST! (and one other person posted the exact same issue (before I did), but her question was closed (as if it was fixed), but it wasn’t.  And as of yet, I haven’t heard that someone at TurboTax would look into this programmatical issue so it can be fixed.   So…I’m currently left not having much confidence that the people at TurboTax who handle making programmatical changes actually knows I have this (programmatical) problem.  Hoping this is where you come in and could look into this further and provide me with an update on what to expect.  I’m absolutely fine waiting a few more days (or more if needed), as I understand programmatical changes may take some time, but I’ve yet to hear it’s actually being looked into.  Many thanks in advance.   Side note, I was informed that I could print my MI tax return, use some whiteout to fix the zip code on the MI1040CR Michigan Homestead Tax Credit form, but I declined that option... I'd like to file my return electronically, as I have for years.

I am having a similar problem. Coinbase sent a 1099-MISC for my staking income, and after answering all the questions as you recommend, it says it will report it on Schedule C, which according to IRS publications, is wrong unless I'm actually doing it as a trade or business.

yes. I figured it out. The form was not there. I called in and they added the form. Later I found that you go through the questions related to itemized deductions and the specific question regarding this form does bring up the form.

Again, thank you so much for your help.  I hope I'm not over staying my welcome, but I still need a little clarification. I've gone all the way through the TurboTax process, and didn't see anywhere where I could indicate I was closing the business.  I'm sure this is just an oversight on my part, but could you point me to where I would make that entry? What I did see was a question, posed by TurboTax:  "Do you have any Loss Carry Forwards?"  I was surprised by the question.  I definitely have them, both for the business (Schedule C) and for previous investing activity (Schedule D).  I expected TurboTax would pick these up from last year's return, rather than asking me.  Is there someplace I should look to see how TurboTax has or hasn't stored and applied my loss carry forwards for Schedules C and D? Finally, can my losses, both for the business and for investment activity, be carried backwards?  If my Loss Carry Forwards can only be deductions against future taxable income, I may not recover the losses anytime soon, if at all.  I'm now retired, with only social security and a small IRA for income.  I don't actually reach the thresh hold to owe any taxes. Again, thank you so much for your help.  I want to get this all correct, and you're such a great resource to help me.  I appreciate you!

Hi @BillM223 , I’m following up on our last conversation from two days ago. Could you please provide an update on the investigation into the software issue you reproduced? I’ve kept my account inactive while waiting for your direction. My goal was to file before the end of February to take advantage of the early-bird discount, but this 7-day delay has made that difficult. Given the technical trouble I've experienced, would TurboTax be willing to waive the filing fee entirely as a courtesy? Please let me know the next steps or if there is anything specific you need from my end.   Thank you, Shelley
