Section 179 expense deduction disallowed. How do I fix carryovers on individual activities?
I thought this type conversion is called backdoor conversion within two IRA accounts and should have no limit; but need to pay tax only?

I traded some options for the same ticker in my traditional IRA and another individual taxable accounts. There were some gains and some losses within 30 days. I mostly traded option strategies like covered calls, iron condor, put credit spread, call debit spread, etc for the same ticker in each account.  How are wash sales handle in this scenario? I have losses and gains in both accounts for the same ticker. How do I report these? How should I adjust basis? Can losses offset gains across these accounts?   Appreciate any advice.
Took wrong deduction, can I change it after return is pending?

Hello everyone, I realized I made an ineligible HSA contribution for the 2025 tax year and need guidance on correcting it before the filing deadline.   My Situation: 1/1/2025 – 12/31/2025: I had a Marketplace Silver Plan ($0 deductible, non-HDHP). 9/1/2025 – 12/31/2025: I also had an Employer-sponsored HDHP. The Issue: Because I had the Silver plan for the entire year, I think I was ineligible to contribute to an HSA at all. Is that right? However, I contributed the full $4,300 individual limit. 😔 My Questions: Removal Process (Optum Financial): I have the Optum "Excess Contribution and Deposit Correction Request" form. Do I simply list the full $4,300 for 2025? Does Optum calculate the "Net Income Attributable" (earnings/interest) automatically, or do I need to calculate that myself from my statements before submitting?    TurboTax Reporting: How do I reflect this removal in TurboTax? Do I need to complete Form 8889? Where do I enter the "Excess" so TurboTax knows the money was pulled out before the deadline? Since this $4,300 was pre-tax, I assume I now need to report it as "Income" somehow, so it's taxed—how to report this? Thank you for the step-by-step help!
Are there any tax deductions for sales tax in Seattle Washington (King County)? If so, how much for 2026?

Please ignore my previous post. I was under the false impression that with my wife and I both having an HDHP (one of them being family coverage) and both of us owning our own HSA, and finally both of us being at least 55 years old, that as a whole we could contribute $1,000 above the family contribution limit of $8550 for 2025. I've just learned we each can contribute an additional $1000 to our own account, as long as we don't exceed individual limit of $4,300+$1,000 and collectively we don't exceed $10,550. I thought our family contribution limit was $9,550. We therefore did not overfund out HSA accounts. No wonder the HSA Summary in Turbo Tax online reports that my taxable earnings on excess contributions is $0. Phew. 
I don't have Form W-2, why it appears this concept of Job Expenses for W-2 Income?

The letter has to mirror the requirements in detail and give specifics.     I am retired now. No longer licensed. NY is a difficult state to deal with. They give you deadlines to respond yet fail to respond timely to your responses, normally exactly close to last day they must respond by.  i know partners at largest firms who failed their audit who worked from home for a NY employer as part of a retirement package but, as those partners spoke with NY clients and came into NY for the holiday party, even admitted driving through, they failed.  the Firm letter was short and documented exact office requirements and job location and that we did not go to NY office, had no desk at the NY office, and were not working on NY clients and specified offices we did go to, and did not have the option to work at the NY office.  Our letter:  We basically copied the requirements you meet, ensure you have your documentation.  For us, we worked on out of NY clients, never went into NY and did not have any office in NY. We also had an office in the home for meeting clients. We were not officers of the Firm.  letter started with the exact NY Rule: must meet Primary or 4 Secondary and 3 others.  then I listed each one. And responded to it. ones under each category we met with specific details.   We met more than required but, listed all even if NA, gave very detailed responses.  first round was 1 sentence to each, we failed. It took a few times and excessive detail, photos of business card, photos of dedicated office space, even a letter from a client stating they visited the home office.
