If you have not completed the rest of your return, or have no income tax (self-employment tax does not count towards income tax for this credit), this may be why the credit is not appearing. The energy credit is non-refundable, so if you don't have enough income tax being computed, the credit won't be generated.   I have tested the heat pump section of the 5695 input area and it is working as expected and producing the maximum $2,000 when qualified.  Double check your answers and make sure you have income tax being shown on your 1040, line 18.  You can check this by by navigating to Tax Tools on the left of your screen, choose Tools, then View Tax Summary. On the left of the screen, select Preview my 1040.   See this article for a summary of the credit amounts available: Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (EEHIC)  

The 1099-B should include a Supplemental information section where it lists the adjusted cost basis for those shares that reflect zero basis on the 1099-B.  Depending on the brokerage company, the supplemental information may need to be requested or downloaded from your account.   The supplemental information is generally included toward the end of the 1099-B (aka 1099-COMP), review each page carefully and if it's not there, check with the brokerage firm.

When your manually entered overtime amount exceeds one-third of your income and Box 14 on your W-2 is empty, TurboTax may trigger a review for accuracy since it expects overtime amounts to be reasonable and related to your wages. To address this: 1. Make sure you have entered your W-2 wages exactly as they appear on the form. 2. Use your year-end pay stub to calculate the overtime premium, which is the extra pay above your regular hourly rate, rather than the total overtime pay. 3. Re-enter the overtime amount as the premium portion only if you have been entering the full overtime pay. 4. On the review screen, select the box next to "Overtime" to let TurboTax guide you through questions to verify and adjust your entry. If you still cannot proceed, double-check your entries for accuracy and consistency with your paystub details.

Catina, YES!!!!  THAT'S WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR!!!  Thank you so much for pointing this out to me. All the other agents before you, while extremely helpful, did not point this out. I was looking for the supplemental worksheets in my federal return..... And didn't find them there so I thought they were not available. Thank you for being the first person to point out where these are! I am one happy camper. Thank you so much.

No, AmyC's advice was not incorrect.  The distinction is whether you used the space for personal purposes or not during the time it was being advertised and/or rented.  If there was no personal use at all when it was being advertised and rented, then AmyC is correct.     If there was personal use during the time it was being advertised and/or rented, then you should follow the advice referenced by ThomasM125.  The sections of IRS Publication 527 that he referenced are explaining how to determine rental days when the property in question is being used personally and being treated as a rental property during the same time period.   @paulkeskeys 

1099-S is normally given to you along with the closing documents upon selling the home.  It may also be mailed to you during the beginning of the year, like any other 1099 or W-2.  You can also download your IRS Wage and Income Transcript via your IRS account and it should have the 1099-S information there.   If can't retrieve your Form 1099-S, just use the Sales Price of the property that is listed in the closing statement documents.   Here's a link to the IRS website were you can login or make your IRS account so you can download your wage and income transcript for the year:   Online account for individuals

If your New Mexico amended return shows changes as the result of filing an amended federal return, attach a copy of your federal amended forms and schedules.   If this isn't the case, you generally only need to send the completed and signed PIT-X form to the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department.

In TurboTax Online, go to My Info down the left side of the screen to update personal information.   In the Wisconsin income tax return, at the screen Head of Household and Not Married or Married, did you select Yes or No?  You may need to revisit your entries at this screen.

@jgb    You might be one of the few folks who have to delete the "Social Security Benefits Worksheet" first.   For some reason this is happening to a few people...and deleting that form first, has fixed the problem for others. ________________________ It's easy to do in Forms Mode" for those using the Desktop software. But for the "Online" users: 1) open your tax return 2)  Go to the left-side menu 3)  Click on "Tax Tools".....then "Tools" 4)  From the pop-up menu, select "Delete a form." 5) Find the "Social Security Benefits Worksheet" and hit the trashcan to the rt of it. 6) Scroll to the bottom of the page and hit "Continue" 7) go back to the SSA-1099 are and it should work now.

We understand how frustrating it must be. Unfortunately, there is no way to add additional lines to the T1135. To reduce the number of lines required, group your stocks and enter only the totals. We have always passed on this feedback to our development team.    The T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) is a form that you have to fill out on the same day as your T1 (April 30 or June 15). If you try to submit your T1 (Income Tax Return) without including a required T1135, the system will fail because the CRA database needs to follow foreign reporting rules before it can process the tax return.    If you indicated in your T1 return that you own foreign property exceeding $100,000 CAD, you are obligated to file Form T1135.    If you say "Yes" to T1135 needed: The software diagnostics will show an error or rejection (a "failed to file" status) if you try to submit the T1 but have not submitted or attached the T1135, because the T1 indicates a requirement for the T1135 that isn't met. Separate Packet Protocol: When using NETFILE, you are technically sending two separate electronic files. The T1135 file is not part of the T1 file. The software, however, keeps them linked to ensure you meet the legal requirements and avoid penalties.  If you are not required to file a T1135 (i.e., you do not own more than $100,000 CAD in foreign property), you must ensure you did not accidentally check the "Yes" box on your T1 tax return regarding this requirement.    Your feedback is valuable to us. I will pass this along to our development team. Thanks.
