unfortunately, i can't use desktop version since my OS doesn't support it. Can i print the form from the online version and then type in the numbers using a pdf editor? or write it manually myself and then mail the final return?

If you would like to send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information it would help.  If you would like to do this, here are the instructions:  (Don't forget to give us the state)   TurboTax Online: Open your return -Go to the menu panel on the left side of your return and select Tax Tools.  Then select Tools below Tax Tools. A window will pop up which says Tools Center.   On this screen, select Share my file with Agent. You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click okay through this screen and then you will get a Token number. Reply to this thread with your Token number and your state. This will allow us to open a copy of your return without seeing any personal information. TurboTax Desktop: If you like, you can send a copy of your return that will be scrubbed to eliminate your personal data by using these steps: Click on Online in the top left menu of TurboTax Desktop for Windows Select 'Send Tax File to Agent'* > Follow the prompts to reach the token number. Enter your email used for TurboTax > Enter your code > Send Write down or send an image of your token number and state then place in this issue. We can then review your exact scenario for a solution. Please also tell us any states included in the return. This is necessary for us to view the return. *If using a MAC, go to the menu at the top of the screen, select Help, then, 'Send Tax File to Agent')   We will be able to see exactly what you are seeing and we can determine what exactly is going on in your return to provide you with a resolution.

I am able to download the 1099 directly from the RBC website, but get the noted error when importing from within the Turbo Tax Bank & Brokerage import section.  I am hoping to avoid entering the data manually because there are over 26 pages of 1099 INT, DIV and 1099B transactions.     I am trying to determine if it is a Turbo Tax or RBC issue because I was able to import RBC tax documents on other returns that I have completed for my family.  

To ensure accurate calculations, we strongly recommend preparing your nonresident state return before you prepare any resident or part-year state returns. Even so, TurboTax will populate both state returns with all relevant data from your federal return. As you work through the state interview, you can change or omit any information that is not needed for that state return.   For more info, see this TurboTax FAQ: How do I File a Non-Resident State Return?

The What-if worksheet didn't work for me to estimate 2026 taxes because I could not force it to change some numbers it already had from 2025.  But the Estimated Tax worksheet did work - it looks like we will meet both safe harbor provisions (90% of 2026 taxes and 110% of 2025 taxes) so don't have to worry about underwithholding.  We're very close to the $1000 taxes due at filing provision (slightly over) so I'll make a small estimated payment in April and if our interest is more than I estimated, or we convert more than planned to a Roth, I'll make estimated tax payments in those quarters too (for example, when CDs mature), or the 4th quarter.  As long as we fall under one of those safe harbor provisions, we shouldn't have to worry about having more income in the first quarter than the others.  I still can't figure out how you would plan estimated tax payments per quarter to make up for underwithholding that quarter, because it seems that paying taxes on a $500K income based on $125K earned in the first quarter would result in a huge refund if your income for the year ended up being $250K (especially if your employer kept withholding at the 22% rate).  Nobody's going to give the IRS an interest-free loan like that.  The only practical reason for paying a huge estimated tax payment in the first quarter that I can see would be if most of your income was received in the first quarter (say an RMD you take in January because it's based on end-of-year account balance and you're afraid the stock market is going to go down later in the year) and not enough was withheld, and you know that the income (such as interest and taxable pension, SS benefits, etc.) received throughout the rest of the year was going to be much less, even though you have taxes withheld from that so it wasn't going to make up for the RMD at the beginning of the year and you wouldn't meet the safe harbor requirements.

To make sure that your amended return was filed:   Go back to ensure all steps are completed in the "Amend" section TurboTax If you have not filed, follow the instructions to e-file.  Sometimes with amended returns you must print and mail the return.   If your return was sent already, you visit the IRS Where's My Amended Return to check the status of your return @KrisNick

It depends. Without any further information, then my advice is to use the steps below to report your sale of your website/domain as Section 1231 property. As long as the holding period is long term (more than one year), then it will end up on Form 4797. If there should be any depreciation or amortization, then that portion of gain would be treated as Section 1245.   Sale of Business Property: Income and Expenses at the top Scroll down to Other Business Situations For TurboTax Desktop: Business Income and Expenses > Less Common Business Situations Select Sale of Business Property Select Sales of business or rental property that you haven't already reported. Answer 'Yes' to Do all of the following apply...? Enter your sales information: Description of the Property (Machine Type) Sales Price/Sales Expenses  Date acquired and date sold Cost Depreciation

Ice surface rental is a direct operating expense for hockey training businesses. It should be entered on Line 8910 - Rent of the T2125 (Statement of Business or Professional Activities).   Category: Rent (Line 8910). Form: T2125 - Business Expenses (Self-Employed). Description: While not for a traditional office, renting ice is a cost incurred for the sole purpose of earning business income Business expenses Line 8910 – Rent   Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Thanks..just a quick clarification.  You stated, "you can enter the tax paid to Illinois".  I assume this is the taxes owed to IL for 2025.  Since he had no IL income tax withheld during 2025, it would be the amount that TurboTax calculated he owed for 2025 in the software.  Is that correct???   Again, in advance, thanks so much

Once your tax return is released to the IRS, TurboTax has no control over it. However, the IRS has published an article because delays happen so frequently. Why it may take longer than 21 days for some taxpayers to receive their federal refund The IRS states, "To check the status of a refund, taxpayers should use the Where's My Refund? tool on IRS.gov."

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted? Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section.
