A notes type reminder feature that will carry over from year to year.   Example some types of home loans are not deductible but can be used to adjust the property's value in determining capital gains taxes. It would be very handy to have the feature so that each year as that loan is paid for a notation of principal and interest amount paid in that year can be record kept. And totaled. In this particular case the note feature might show up as an entry in the 1098 Deductions & Credits section of TurboTax.

My employer overpaid me in 2025. I have not filed my 2025 income tax return. In January 2026, I repaid my employer the net amount of the over payment. In February 2026, my employer sent a W-2C that corrected: Boxes 1,3,5, and 16 each were lowered by the gross amount of the over payment Box 4 was lowered by the overpaid Social Security amount Box 6 was lowered by the overpaid Employee Medicare amount No corrections were made to the Federal Income tax (box 2) or Minnesota State Income Tax (box 17).   Now my employer states that I should repay them the overpaid income tax and then they will issue a second W-2C that lowers the overpaid income tax in boxes 2 and 17.   My employer says I should complete my 2025 tax return using the second W-2C that they will send.    It does not seem like I would get the overpaid tax back if I follow my employers advice. Please help

I understand that for 2026 we can deduct up to 1,000 in Cash Donations even if I dont itimized. When I enter the cash donations in Turbo Tax is telling me that it is better to take the standard deduction and not using my cash contribution. Is there a different place where I should enter this charitable cash donations?

My mother-in-law passed in January 2026. No tax return was filed for 2025, and we are not sure if she filed a tax return for 2022, 2023, or 2024 (unable to find paperwork). Her spouse passed away in January 2022. She may not have had enough income to file as she was just receiving social security, not much in unearned income. We have a form from the bank for an IRA distribution but no form from Social Security for her SS benefits. Please advise as to next steps.  

I have a QBI Pass Through Loss from last year which was reported on my 2024 8995-A Schedule C, I entered this information in TurboTax and I can see it in the Worksheets, but when I view my Tax Return, it has nothing listed in 8995-A Schedule C. Please note that this business was closed a few years ago and all I am trying to do is carryforward the loss from this LLC. Anyone know how to correct this? 

Why did intuit block me from viewing the itsdeductible app? I own the app. I already purchased it years ago with Quicken. It's mine. In Turbo Tax desktop Deluxe version, I am having such a difficult time viewing the, "Help me value my donations." The dropbox is not loading all results or letting you scroll down to view them, so I decided to view in my itdeductible app - I could see all the values. From what I saw was the app valuations were the same as the software with a more complete listing then what I am able to see in the Turbo Tax software version. Then I log back into the app and I receive a message, "This app is no longer available." This is my worse tax year using Turbo Tax. Their changes to their reporting has wasted so much of my time (education update is inaccurate), and now I have to manually value my clothing donations. I started using Quicken in 1995, and was a very loyal customer until they forced the subscription online version. I was not interested, so after 20+ years of using Quicken Deluxe, I ditched it with sadness. Can't believe the changes they have made this year in Turbo Tax are making it more difficult for their customers. Education 1099Q's need to be added back for their Coverdell customers who need the worksheet for calculating cost basis. Also, for people who take an education credit with their distribution. I have one excess education distribution that they are not accounting for. Don't know why I am complaining it's the tax on excess distributions they are choosing not to account for. Think they are trying to make it more difficult, so you'll pay for their experts. From some of the replies I've seen from their experts, I wouldn't be paying for incorrect info. Maybe time to chose a different platform for taxes!
