When entering the rental period use the number of days before you sold it (January 1-Sale Date), then use zero for personal use days. The next steps are important so be sure to follow them carefully. It's very important to answer Yes, you rented the property all year. TurboTax will know what to do once the sales date is entered.   You need to dispose of the property by telling TurboTax how and when it was disposed of.  Follow the instructions below. Click on Search (upper right) > type schedule e > Enter > click Jump to .... link Answer the questions and on under Rent and Royalty Summary, click Edit Click Update to the right of Assets/Depreciation. Do you want to go directly to your asset summary?, click Yes and Continue Click Edit to the right of each asset to be disposed of Go through several screens until you get to Tell Us More About This Rental Asset Click on This item was sold…….   And continue to answer the questions - You will be asked for the sale date. You might also review information here for more details.    @jcmountain2  @smjaskilka 

That's okay @dmertz .  Thanks for attempting to respond anyway, appreciate it.   I didn't mean to sound dismissive when I wrote that only people who are sure of the right answer should respond.  It's just that this is a very specific technical question that likely has either a yes or a no answer and it will take someone with very strong knowledge of the topic to answer.   Reason I ask is that I think TurboTax may be doing it incorrectly but admit I am not sure of the answer myself.  So I need confirmation from someone who knows about this specific point.   I don't want to give my view (which is only a guess at the answer) because I don't want to influence the answer given by others.   If TT is doing it incorrectly I have not found any way to override it yet so it could be a problem for me if I have to file it as is.

I'm having the same issue with the maryland 504 form.  I contacted support last night and got no resolution.  however i logged on to my online account and see that the maryland download doesn't have a download button however the virginia download the turbotax business orders do.  i'm going to contact them again for an explanaition.

@PS56k   I thought you couldn’t use the Desktop program this year for 2025?    Yes you can Transfer a prior year Desktop return into Desktop or Online.   And the other way around, a 2024 Online return into Online or into the Desktop program.   You can not move a current year 2025 Desktop return into the Online version.   Current year is one way only.  You can move a current year Online return into the same year Desktop program and continue.   Same for prior years.  Like If you didn’t finish a 2023 or 2024 Online return you can download the data file ending in .tax2024 and open it in the 2024 Desktop program to finish   You know about the Desktop program.   Here’s more info on Online. The Online web version is only good for one account and one return. You can log in and access your return from any computer. You can only see the forms after you pay and download the pdf. And you might need to upgrade to a higher version to enter different kinds of income. There are 3 Online versions, Free Edition, Deluxe and Premium.   Premium combines the Premier and Home & Business versions.   And you can add LIVE service or Full Service for expert help. In Online the fees are to prepare the federal and state returns (State is a separate charge) whether you efile or print and mail. Efiling is free and included.   You can see Online Deluxe here, TurboTax® Deluxe Online 2024-2025 | Maximize Tax Deductions   You can seeOnline Premium here TurboTax® Premium Online 2024-2025 | Self-Employed & Investor Tax Software   Also for Online.   Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2025 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done.  In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something.  You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.   Think that covers most of the differences between Online and Desktop.      .   

These payments would be payments made for filing an extension of the tax return or 2025 estimated tax payments made. You may not have either of these. If you don't it's ok to leave it blank.   These are the lines in question and the descriptions from the Instructions.   Line 20 of Form 8379 In column (a), include any payments shown on your joint return. These payments will be reported on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 26, and Schedule 3 (Form 1040), line 10.   Line 10 of Schedule 3    Line 10 Amount paid with request for extension to file (see instructions) Description If you got an automatic extension of time to file Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR by filing Form 4868 or by making a payment, enter the amount of the payment or any amount you paid with Form 4868. If you paid a fee when making your payment, don’t include on line 10 the fee you were charged. Also, include any amounts paid with Form 2350.   Form 1040  Line 26 2025 estimated tax payments and amount applied from 2024 return Description Enter any estimated federal income tax payments you made for 2025. Include any overpayment that you applied to your 2025 estimated tax from your 2024 return or an amended return.    Click here for Instructions to Form 8379. Click here for Schedule 3. Click here for Form 1040. Click here for instructions to Form 1040 (includes instructions for Schedule 3).

Without knowing most specifics, there are several reasons why the tax on your return does not agree with the tax from a tax table. It is possible that you have other taxes on your return besides income taxes, such as penalty taxes for a host of things. Also, you may have income that has special taxes or rates imposed as can happen with investment income. It is also possible that your tax is being calculated using tax rate schedules as opposed to tax tables.    After you pay for your return you can see the Tax Worksheet in TurboTax that will show you the worksheet used to calculate your tax if it was not done so by use of the tax table.

If TurboTax is not letting you continue, you can try the following: Go out of your program and go back in. Clear your cache and cookies. Try a different Web Browser. If you are using TurboTax Desktop make sure all updates have been run on your program. You can do this by clicking on "Online" in the black bar across the top of your TurboTax screen. And then select "Check for Updates". If you have any additional questions or information regarding this please return to TurboTax Community and we would be glad to help.   How do I contact TurboTax?

Yes, it is ready for both TurboTax Online and TurboTax Desktop. Go through your rental activity assets to update and add any new ones.  If you are using TurboTax Desktop, save your return, then at the top select Online, then Check for updates. Try clearing the cookies and cache.   It handles many issues that seem nonsensical on a regular basis with online activity. Watch to be sure you are selecting 'all time' as example.  Do not use selections like 'last hour' for those browsers that give  you options. How to clear your cache Once this is complete open your return and try again.   @jchua831 

Hi -  Yes, you can file your Federal 1065 now by deselecting the state return and go back into TT later to file GA.   Turbotax - You initially replied to the original posters question the same day suggesting the manual update which didn't work. No reply since to the original poster or to the rest of us that have confirmed the same problem .  Your tax form availability checker still shows the GA forms being available for e-file on 20 Feb 26 which is obviously not the case. Please provide a date when GA e-file will be ready.   The lack of response to customers who paid for the Federal Business software and then an additional fee for the State forms is quickly becoming unacceptable. The software isn't cheap and the return deadline is only about 3 weeks away. There are other tax return products on the market so please consider supporting your loyal customers to retain our business. A simple acknowledgment of the problem would go a long way. It would be a nice gesture to refund the price of the GA state software or provide a future credit for our trouble.
