@Aashugpt  Namaste ji You are correct -- I forgot that while US residency is by calendar year, India residency is per tax year. Thus arriving in India  in Sept. 2026, you would still meet the 182 day rule and therefore would be a resident for the  tax year.  Thus you will be taxed  as a resident on world income for the 2026/2027 tax year.  This would mean that doubly taxed income would be  04/01/2026 through your date of exit ( 09/30/2026 in your example ).  So your Foreign Tax Credit would have to be claimed in India against taxes imposed /paid in India. Dual  Status  in the USA does affect your deduction ( it will be  itemized and not standard ).. The 6601 certificate  by itself  would only be good if it shows your  federal taxes paid for  2026 -- earliest filing is   end of Jan 2027 -- probably in time for  26/27 ITR due  in  Jul/Aug of 2027.  I still think you need to discuss the Indian IT details and documentation required ( beyond your US federal return ) with a CA in India. You probably will need to file a form 8802 directly with IRS post your 2026  return filing -- don't know how long they take to process a request. Also consider leaving your US bank account available till all taxes are settled. Also a mailing address Is there more I can do for you ? Namaste ji pk

No, report only what you received from the one account. There is nothing to report for the account where no distributions were taken.    If you had any nondeductible contributions in the past you will need the value of all IRAs as of December 31,2025. This is needed to determine your tax free amount of the distribution. If you never had any nondeductible contributions for any Traditional IRA then there's nothing to report outside of your 1099-R indicating all of your RMDs were distributed for 2025.

Here are some other troubleshooting tips that can help with your issue:   Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements. Make sure you have administrator rights on your computer and TurboTax is running as administrator: Right-click the TurboTax icon or setup icon and select Properties. In the Compatibility tab, select the Run this program as administrator box and select OK. In the Control Panel under Internet Options, add https://*.intuit.com to Trusted Sites. Set security level to Medium. Turn off antivirus software and Windows Defender. Add TurboTax Desktop to your allowed apps in Windows Defender. Clean up and defragment your hard drive. Run Windows Update to keep your computer up-to-date. Update your computer's hardware drivers. Update your security software for firewall, virus, and spyware protection. Make sure you're the only user on your computer running TurboTax. If you're not, switch users and sign out of TurboTax from the other account. If you can't do that, shut down your computer and try again. (Error: 70001) Troubleshoot TurboTax Desktop for Windows issues   @Deb3805 

Here are a few suggestions to get Amend to appear: Ensure the 2025 return was already e-filed and accepted; the Amend option won’t show until then. It also could be you have filed very recently. Use the 2025 product version (same platform you used originally: Online vs. Desktop). If you still don’t see it, clear cache/cookies or use a different browser. Note: Wait for any IRS refund to be processed before mailing/e-filing the amendment to avoid processing confusion.

Thanks for your response. I'm a MA resident. The Maryland pass through amount is shown on my Maryland k-1. Turbo tax reflected the pass through correctly on my MA resident state return and my MD non-resident return but Schedule A line 5a of the Federal doesn't reflect it and I can't seem to find a Turbo Tax workaround. I would appreciate any help that you could give me. Thanks again!

Also, Maryland tax code changed in 2025 such that Maryland itemized deductions are phased out above a certain federal AGI threshold based on your filing status.  See the Itemized Deduction Worksheet on page 12 of the Maryland Resident Tax Booklet: https://www.marylandcomptroller.gov/content/dam/mdcomp/tax/instructions/2025/resident-booklet.pdf   If the standard deduction exceeds the phased-down itemized deductions, TurboTax appropriately chooses the standard deduction.

It depends. You receive a 1099-MISC for medical and healthcare payments (Box 6) because you are a non-employee (contractor, independent professional) who received $600 or more for services from a business during the year. The IRS requires this reporting to track taxable income paid to individuals for services like medical research, professional consultations, or specialized health services.   If it is not self employment income, then you should enter it as follows. It's important that you made the appropriate selections so that TurboTax does know that it was not self employment income. Open your TurboTax Online/Mobile or TurboTax Desktop tax return Search (upper right) > type 1099misc > click the Jump to... link Begin your entry of the 1099-MISC. It's important for you to select 'None of these apply" and then you should also select the following: 'No' on the screen 'Did the '____' involve work that's like your main job?' 'No' on the screen 'Did the '____'  involve an intent to earn money?' This will report the income without any business/self employment activity and it will show up on Form 1040, Line 8 (From Schedule 1, Line 8z). Continue to complete this section. If you consider this an ongoing business concern activity then it should be self employment, including paying self employment taxes. If this is the case, you should answer 'Yes' to the questions in 4. 1. & 2. above.
