I have entered all the information into H&R Block's software and it's ready for filing. It's slightly cheaper product too, but the house hacking calculation (percentage of days used personally) is a little less straight forward and not quite calculating the way I have manually calculated (which matches Turbo Tax software calc). So I'm waiting for Turbo Tax but you can try H&R Block software and enter in everything for free up until the point you would need to pay for filing fees.

Are you using TurboTax Desktop or TurboTax Online?    When you get to the "Rental and Royalty Summary" screen, the rental you entered should show as a list.  Under "Location of Property" should be a blue bar that says "Add Another Rental or Royalty"         

I am also receiving the same message as many others also have reported when trying to submit a 2024 1040-X.  There is no special situation mentioned in the message nor is there a special situation with the returns in question so some factual information from Turbo Tax would be helpful.  For example, the message states that it is closed as of last year.  Is Turbo Tax not setup to file amended returns in 2026 yet?  If so, when will they be?  

Looking at box 1 on my w2. This is concerning this tax year 2025. And I am not sure. Upon looking at my tax transcript the numbers are different than on my w2 by $900. And I’m not sure if they need to issue a corrected w2. That’s what I am asking here. Is it an issue or will it automatically be corrected by the IRS? 

Great advice. I found the 1099-R in forms. But I'm not sure how to force turbotax desktop (mac os) to walk me through the 1099-R in interview mode. Can you give instructions on how to do that? Thank you!

Patricia, Can you please comment on the resolution of the issue of TurboTax Premier 2025 of  not bringing interest income from a K-1 (box5) to  form 4952  Part II - Net Investment Income? When will that  be resolved?      Form 4952 does not pick up interest from K-1s, and includes only interest from 1099-INT.   The interest from K-1 Box 5 does get reported on Schedule B, part 1 and is included in the Schedule B total, but does not populate to form 4952.   As a result the total investment income (line 10 of form 4952) is understated and limits taking investment interest expense in the tax year. 

The amounts should match.   Are you looking at your W-2 Box 1?  Can you give us a little more information please.  What tax year is this concerning?  Why do you have a tax transcript from the IRS?  Did your (or will your) employer be issuing a corrected W-2? 

To open a 2024 tax file, you have to have the 2024 TurboTax desktop program installed on your computer.   Do you have the 2024 software installed on the pc you are trying to open the return on?    @user17708620691    If you have a PDF copy of your 2024 return, you don't need the program installed - you only need a PDF reader.
