This is the error message I get when I open Turbox Tax after receiving an email that the state return was rejected. I don't see a rejection code from Arkansas. This is the only error message that I have received.   Description of error: Data in the return is missing or invalid. Please double check your entries. What needs to be done: Form AR3in the Arkansas return has a value on "Other Contributions" line. Type and Amount are required for each entry. Fix any incomplete or incorrect information and remove an $0 entries if applicable.

Taxes for a sole-proprietorship/Schedule C are the same for a single-member LLC.    If you have a partner or make an S-Corp election, you would need to use TurboTax business to file your business taxes on Form 1065 or 1120-S.   Those returns cannot be included with your personal taxes like a Schedule C can.     All of your health and wellness business income gets reported on the same Schedule C no matter what id numbers they put on the forms.    If the income is related to your business and you are a sole proprietor or a single member LLC - it goes on your business Schedule C.     What type of entity is my business?   Your form of business determines which income tax return form you have to file. The most common forms of business are the sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, and S corporation.    A limited liability company (LLC) is a business structure allowed by state statute.    Sole proprietorships Partnerships Corporations S corporations Limited liability company (LLC)  

Can you clarify a couple of the conditions? What is the code in box 7? Did you get two different questions? Was this an RMD? Was this a rollover? Were you able to answer them separately?

Thanks for replying. Yes, this is what I did as well. The problem is it won't concile. I'm roughly $300 higher than the subtraction that Turbo Tax provides. I've spent literally 2hrs trying to reconcile this. It's driving me somewhat batty 😉 

None of these answers are helping me. I have spent 3 hours trying everything shown here to get a 5329 generated on the web version.  I have a missed RMD. Give me a short and easy way to get it to generate the form.  Going through the 1099-R route doesn't work and it never prompted any questions about a missed RMD to generate the form.

Thanks for the reply.  Unfortunately neither of the links were able to get me to where I can access the code.  I found the list of products as shown below, but there is no link or way get the code.    It just has me sign back in again and loops me back to the same thing below.       CA TY2025 TurboTax Desktop Standard CA TY2024 TurboTax Desktop Standard CA TY2023 TurboTax Desktop Standard CA TY2022 TurboTax Desktop Home & Business CA TY2021 TurboTax Desktop Standard CA TY2020 TurboTax Desktop Standard

You only have to mail the Form 1040X and any documentation for the change you made (such as a W-2 or 1099 form).    An amendment takes 12 weeks to process and doesn't catch up to or correct your original filing.  It's processed separately, and you have three years to submit your amendment.   @user17737617245 

The DST should be a clean 1031 exchange. Line 25a is for something other than real estate involved in the deal. Take a look at line 15, Form 8824. Is the property received equal or greater than the net sales price? If not, the program may be looking for the missing amount. Perhaps a cash boot or closing costs Be sure you are using the final 1031 substitute form 1099 provided by DST. The exchange expenses can alter your value. If everything is fine, enter zero so the program knows there is nothing else.

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.   What are Trump accounts?

The following steps can be used on your amendment if you are filing one for the New York State (NYS) inflation rebate.   Do not enter it as Other Income directly or it will not be reflected correctly on both the federal and NYS return.   The following steps should help with the answers when entering the New York State (NYS) inflation refund check.

If you expect it to make a difference you can amend your 2024 return to enter the information.   Wait until your original 2024 return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-already-filed/L4VjJ9BA2_US_en_US?uid=m76mq6z2   Use a mailing service like certified mail  to track so you will know it was received since you will have a long wait.   Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return
