We have tested the Schedule K-1 Box 8 entry but are unable to reproduce the experience you have seen. It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2025" file to test this issue further.   If you would be willing to send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information, please follow these instructions:    In TurboTax Desktop, open your return and go to Online in the TurboTax header. (On a Mac computer, choose Share or Help.) Choose Send Tax File to Agent. You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click Send on this screen and wait for the Token number to appear. Reply to this thread with a screenshot of your Token number (this avoids Community filters for numbers with a dash) and tag (@) the Expert requesting the token from you. Please include any States that are part of your return - this is VERY important. We will then be able to see the same experience you are having. If we are able to determine the cause, we'll reply here and possibly provide you with a resolution. 

Your best option is to return to business where this QBI At Risk Operating Loss was reported.  Work through the interview until you read the business summary page.  Edit the topic under Uncommon Situations for "Unused expenses, carry overs, non-depreciable assets, etc." Depending on the activity you're working on, the actual text may be different. Or you may need to edit the business profile to find the carryover topic. Be sure to check the box for carryover losses.  You should see a page with boxes for different types of carryover losses. Enter the information from your prior year return in the appropriate box or enter zero.  You may then see a page with a list of years and a total. Enter the carryover loss in the box for the correct year or enter zero. Your entries must match the total at the bottom. Continue through the interview until you are back on the business/rental summary page. Now run Federal Review >> Smart Check again.

The "filed" date is based on the time zone of the receiving authority. In the case of the IRS and New York State, that is Eastern Time. However, TurboTax has no control over when the return is accepted. You might contact your state agency and provide proof of submission in case there is any question of when you sent the state return.

This experience has been reported to our development team but an update is unlikely for the 2025 tax year. It's highly unlikely that your entries will be scrutinized or cause a delay in the processing of your return. Entering zeroes doesn't affect your tax liability.

@drrmned22  To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/   When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state.  This will take you back to the 2025 online tax return. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Then click on Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets   If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

Since you already received a review letter from the IRS, your best option is to wait until you hear from them. In most cases, reporting income in the wrong place doesn't affect the tax you owe or the refund you will receive. This is mostly an administrative review to match the IRS records with the information on your return.   If you decide to go ahead and file an amended return, follow these instructions: How to File an Amended Tax Return with the IRS.

1) Yes, you can call the IRS to discuss the notice. It may resolve the situation more quickly, if you can get through to a helpful agent. Use the phone number on the letter you received.   2) If you don't have a history of mistakes on your return, it's more than likely that the IRS will waive the penalty since it didn't impact your tax liability.   3) An individual qualifies as a U.S. resident if they 1) have a green card or 2) are physically present in the United States for at least: 31 days during the current year, and 183 days during the current year and the two preceding years, calculated using the following formula: All the days present in the current year, 1/3 of the days present in the previous year, 1/6 of the days present in the year before that.  

 "Other contributions previously taxed by Massachusetts"   this is an interesting way to  cook up a workaround in state of MA. But it is essentially a false statement.   "I'm not sure why this is necessary"   It's not necessary, when the entry is done correctly. Your Traditional IRA contribution should be on Form 8606 Line 1 and that should take care of the issue you were seeing.   @bryonthego  @user17710097333 

I'd like a file that has all records for my tax return.  In past years, there was the option to download just the version of the tax return filed with the IRS in addition to a version that included every applicable form.  It's the latter that I no longer see an option to download.  I have already downloaded the .tax file.

You might try these tips from Expert AmyC:   If you are not using a foreign tax credit for the current year, and you have carryforward, Form 1116 is not required. The IRS holds the information for the 10-year carryforward period.    However, if you have FTC carryovers to report and need to force Form 1116 to file, follow these steps: Go to Federal > Deductions & Credits. Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click Start/Revisit next to Foreign Taxes. Answer Yes to "Did you pay any foreign taxes?" (Answer yes even if you only have a carryforward from a previous year). When asked if you want the deduction or the credit, select Take a Credit. Continue through the interview screens. Eventually, you will reach a screen titled "Do you have any Foreign Tax Credit Carryovers?" Select Yes. You will then see a grid where you can enter the Foreign Taxes paid in prior years and the Amount Used in previous returns. The difference is what TurboTax will carry forward. Troubleshooting: If the software won't generate it, you can add a "dummy" entry of $1 in foreign interest/tax and then remove it before filing to see if the carryover screen triggers. Usually, simply completing the "Foreign Taxes" section under Deductions & Credits is enough.

If you are using TurboTax Do It Yourself (Online), you can get a PDF archive of your return which will have your full return. When you get to the part where you file your return, you'll get the option to download a PDF preview. This will include your provincial forms.

When clicking on the "View detailed summary" at the top of the main page (before proceeding with the "Review and File" stage, I don't see any reference to the Provincial Disability Tax Credit.  Applying the provincial tax credit should have reduced my provincial tax payable to zero, but TurboTax summary still shows with a balance owing.  How will I know that the tax credit is properly applied?

@louise_trudeau  Comme précisé plus haut, cette erreur peut être le résultat d'un problème lors de l'installation, ou d'un fichier endommagé par une fermeture inadéquate ou encore le transfert d'un appareil à un autre.   Nous vous suggérons de suivre les étapes ci-haut mentionnées.   Merci de choisir TurboImpôt.

Actually I think I found the root cause, for which the message is extremely cryptic.   I suspect that if you have multiple investment sources that were brought in from the automatic import and indicated Various/Global as the source of foreign country where income tax was paid, but some sources were from a specific country (e.g., USA), they will be treated as multiple countries for the check "paid foreign taxes to more than one country".   Rather than use the automatic import, clear out those entries and enter the T3/R16 as provided by your broker, providing the appropriate source country (with Global being a valid value).

Was your average stay less than 7 days? Did you claim material participation (which makes you a real estate professional?)   Does this rental have a net loss or are the expenses offsetting the income with the balance reported as passive losses that are carried forward?    To resolve this, you might return to the Rental Property topic and work through the interview from the beginning. Be sure to read all the questions, including the blue links to learn more.

Comme le précise la capture d'écran de ma collègue, vous ne déclarez pas ce montant dans votre déclaration de revenus car ce montant est déjà inclus dans la case 14.   Pour plus de précisions à cet effet, veuillez communiquer avec l'ARC.   Merci de choisir TurboImpôt.
