It depends on where the assets were used, such as for a business or a rental.  When the asset is sold, traded or converted to personal use, or and most importantly, the asset began being used at 50% or less in your activity.   Inside the asset, you will indicate the situation based on what did take place. TurboTax will assist based on your indicators in the asset. What is Section 179 Recapture? Please provide more details and we will be able to assist further.

You will have to amend both the federal and state tax returns to add income from additional W-2's.   If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 12 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

@lesleyann04  If you requested to have the TurboTax account fees deducted from your federal tax refund, the IRS will send the refund to a third party processor to have the fees and the $40 service charge deducted. The third party processor will deduct the TurboTax fees plus the $40 service charge and then attempt to direct deposit the remaining refund balance into the account that you entered on your tax return. For the status of your tax refund you will need to contact the third party processor, Santa Barbara Tax Product Group, using their website - https://www.sbtpg.com/ Tax Products Group Contact Information - https://help.sbtpg.com/hc/en-us/articles/230084587-Contact-Information Call 1-877-908-7228 Or email - TPG-CSsupport@greendotcorp.com

There are various reasons whey you cannot use pay with refund.    Since the pay with refund option has a $40 additional charge and your tax refund is sent to a third party processor for removing the TurboTax account fees thereby adding additional time and possible delay in the refund, it is probably good that you cannot use that option.   Pay the TurboTax fees with a credit card or debit card.

common issue on turbotax. try not to overthink it foreign income is part of the total income that mutual fund companies report within Box 1 so I state foreign income reported elsewhere <mutual fund company name> 1099 Div box 1   I don't have independent confirmation of this answer, but it seems logical

If you did not save your original tax return as a PDF before starting the amended tax return then the original tax return is gone.   Go to this IRS website for free transcripts of a federal tax return - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript   For a fee of $30 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

Thanks, but that doesn't help.  I know the entries are there because the summary numbers in the Summary for this Account page are darned close to my statement.   So what's the problem?  Why can't I edit all entries...and why do the Form 8949s look abbreviated when I view the form? I want to see all my detail and I don't think that is too much to ask.  Anyone?

You can use any of the TurboTax desktop editions for your situation since they all have the same forms, schedules and worksheets.  You only get more help and guidance using the higher editions.  So the Premier or Deluxe editions would be fine for you.

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. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".   After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.   Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.   To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product. If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...   After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

You should wait until the original return has been fully processed before you amend.   Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)     See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return -   CURRENT YEAR https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk   Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return
