Only the $2,150 will appear on line 8f of your 2025 Schedule 1.  This is accomplished by telling TurboTax in the HSA contributions section that you will have the $2,150 excess returned.  TurboTax will still show $4,300 on line 9 of Form 8889.  That's fine.   The 2026 excess returned plus all of the NIA will appear on line 8f of your 2026 Schedule 1.  This is accomplished by telling TurboTax in the HSA contributions section that you will have the that excess returned and by entering the 2026 Form 1099-SA in the HSA distributions section.

I have the exact same problem with form 5695 calculating the 30% of the cost of the water heater, and it does not include that in line 29h.   My workaround, until TTAX fixes this, is that I entered the cost of the HPWH under the Heat Pump section (line 29a), and the calculation gets done properly.   If they do not get this fixed, I think it is justified because a HPWH is just another form of a Heat Pump.  But I am waiting till April 15 to file, hoping that this will get fixed.

The only thing you need to know going back to previous years is whether any bonus (special) or section 179 depreciation was taken on any of the assets. When you enter each asset into TurboTax, you will be asked for the amount of special or section 179 depreciation taken in previous years, if any, as it will affect the current year calculation. You can look on the depreciation schedules and/or past Forms 4562 to determine this for each asset. TurboTax will calculate depreciation for previous year assets based on the cost of the asset, type of property you designate and the year put into service, along with any special or section 179 elections made.

There was nothing on the K1 regarding the sale of the stock.  The stockholders sold their stock.  When I enter the sale numbers, because there were two stockholders, shouldn't this be split?  There is no way that one stockholder should pay capital gains on the entire sale.  

You will need to file a tax return in the child's name. The IRS allows parents to report a child's income on their own return (using Form 8814) only if that income consists entirely of interest, dividends, and capital gain distributions.   Since your child must file their own return, you have two options depending on which version of TurboTax you are using:   If using TurboTax Online:   You must create a brand new account with a different username for your child. Start a new return for them. In the "Personal Info" section of your child's return, you must check the box that says "Someone else can claim me as a dependent." This ensures you still get the dependent credit on your return while they pay the tax on their specific income. If using TurboTax Desktop:   Go to File > New Tax Return. Create a separate file for your child. Again, make sure to mark them as a dependent of someone else in the personal info section. You may still file your own returns claiming your child as your dependent.

No. Your wages should NOT be reduced by the Overtime premium.  If they were, then you should contact your employer for a corrected W-2.  The Overtime Premium still needs to be reported to the IRS and then it is deducted on Schedule  1-A.   So no, at this point do not check the box for Overtime in the Let's check for other situations.  Instead, first double check to be sure box 1 is incorrect by matching it to your last paystub of 2025.  Then if it is incorrect, contact your employer to get a corrected W-2.     If they do not correct you can start by contacting the IRS.     "You may call the IRS at 800-829-1040 for assistance (see telephone assistance for hours of operation). When you call, please have the following information available: Your name, address (including ZIP Code), birthdate and taxpayer identification number Your employer/payer's name, address (including ZIP Code) and, if available, an employer identification number (EIN) The IRS will contact the employer/payer for you and request they send you or make available to you the missing or corrected form. The IRS will also send you a Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, or Form 1099-R, Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc., along with a letter containing instructions for you. If you don't receive the missing or corrected form in sufficient time to file your tax return, you may use Form 4852 to complete your return. Estimate your wages or the payments made to you and any taxes withheld and report them on Form 4852. If you receive the missing or corrected Form W-2 or Form 1099-R after you file your return and the information differs from your estimates, you must file Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.
