Sign in to your TurboTax account and go to your Tax Home. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and select the year you need. Click Download/print return (PDF). The Key Step: When prompted, ensure you select "Include government and TurboTax worksheets" (sometimes labeled as "All forms and worksheets"). Open the PDF and search for a page titled "Depreciation and Amortization Report" or "Asset Entry Worksheet." This will list every asset, its cost basis, prior depreciation, and current year depreciation.

Usually a full time student is claimed by the parents. This allows the parents to claim the education credit. Be sure you marked the dependent as a student. Under the age of 24 is not a problem when you support them, their income is not part of the equation.

Only if the return gets rejected.   If the return gets rejected, you can make changes and resubmit it.   If it gets accepted, you will need to amend the return to change your filing status.   It is too late to change from filing jointly to filing separately, but other status changes can be made via amendment.  

Your basis is what you paid for the vehicle, less any depreciation you took.  If you used the standard mileage rate, it is the total of the depreciation component of the mileage you deducted.     The depreciation component of the IRS standard mileage rate represents the portion of the rate that reduces your vehicle's cost basis over time, even though you do not deduct it separately. For 2026, this amount is 35 cents per mile. For 2025, it was 33 cents, and for 2024 it was 30 cents per mile.   Depreciation Rates:   2026 Depreciation Component: 35 cents per mile (based on 72.5 cents total rate). 2025 Depreciation Component: 33 cents per mile (based on 70 cents total rate). 2024 Depreciation Component: 30 cents per mile (based on 67 cents total rate).   The depreciation allowed is calculated by multiplying the business miles driven by the rate for that specific year (e.g., 10,000 miles in 2024 x 0.30 = $3,000 of depreciation.

When you set up a payment to be taken from your account, you can select a date.  If you did not then the program will set the payment to come out on April 15.  To check what date you selected:   Log into your account Select Add a State to open the return Go to Tax Tools Print Center to view your tax return/worksheets The payment date is listed on the Federal Information Worksheet, or defaults to April 15th if none was chosen.    

TurboThe Tax desktop will not allow you to view any information about your payment instructions, including the date and/or bank information. A tremendous failure on the software's part, IMHO.   If you have your summary sheet (first page when you print your return), you can see the information there.  

No. The overtime deduction is not for the full overtime amount. Each state has different laws for how it is paid. For the federal overtime deduction, it is only the overtime paid after working 40 hours. It is only the half over your base pay that is deductible. What is in box 14 is supposed to be what meets the federal rules. You may need to contact your employer about any difference and if a corrected w2 needs to be issued.

Look at the bottom of the first page of your state tax return, it will show you how you requested to receive your refund.   If you chose direct deposit, it will be marked and you should see the account information there as well (it will be xxx'd out on the form).

If you got a notice from the IRS after you filed your tax return, that doesn't necessarily mean that you have a balance due. ‌Sometimes they send letters because they need to verify your information, or they have made changes to your return.     See the TurboTax help article below for more information about IRS notices and what to do.   I got a letter or notice from the IRS  

Often, you will receive a survey via email after contact with Customer Support. If you didn't receive one this time, you can provide feedback the next time you receive a survey, such as after you file your return. Thank you for providing feedback!
