You can report the tax paid by the LLC in TurboTax Online as follows:   Log into TurboTax and open your return. Use this link to go to Schedule K-1 (1065). Or use the search box to find this section. Edit the Schedule K-1 and review your entries to the screen with the checkboxes. Check Box 13 and choose Code ZZ. No amount is needed in the box for this code. Continue to the next page check the box for “Taxes and State Income Tax Withheld.” Choose "Massachusetts" from the State Name drop-down and enter the amount of State Income Tax Withheld. No other entries needed. Continue back to the K-1 Summary page.   The withholding will appear on MA Schedule 62-WH Part 1 Line 5 and on Form 1 Line 38(C), increasing the tax paid and any refund due from MA.

Admin work.     You can claim the home office as your primary place of work if: You use it exclusively and regularly for administrative or management activities of your business (like billing, booking, advertising, and ordering supplies). You have no other fixed location where you conduct a substantial amount of these administrative or management activities. In your case, even though your "revenue-generating" work (the spa services) happens at your suite, your home office is where you do necessary admin work.   As long as you aren't doing your bookkeeping and marketing at the spa suite, the home office is considered the primary place for the management of your business.      What qualifies as "Principal Place of Business" for the home office deduction?

I have used Turbo Tax since 2010 and filed returns for my son and daughter as they came of taxation age.  With this change, I will NOT be using Turbo Tax for 2026 and going forward unless I find a work around.      I am not a business... just a family.  Very STUPID on your part and I feel betrayed.

Yes, that’s correct. Once your identity is verified, the IRS places your return back into processing. According to the IRS, it can take up to 9 weeks to complete processing and issue your refund.    

Yes, boxes 16, 17, and 18 are all filled in with the information from the 1099-MISC.  On the screen where it asks if this is a Qualified Business Income, I selected "no" as the instructions were as clear as mud and this income didn't seem to fit any of the examples listed. Might that be the problem? 

Create a new account in TurboTax Online with a different email than you used for your return. You can't have more than one new account with the same email address.    If you are preparing multiple returns in the future, the Desktop program will allow you to prepare multiple returns within the software.  See: Desktop

@cibeagle3    If your box 2a is blank or "Undetermined"...you probably need to use the Simplified method _____________ BUT   If your box 2a has a non-zero number in it..(not blank, nor marked as undetermined), and that number is somewhat lower than the box 1 number, due to an after-tax contribution amount that is noted in box 5...then edit that retirement form again, and when you get to the following page (below), answer it as-if the displayed edits were present  (i.e. you needed to answer YES).     Answering YES will use the box 2a $$ amount on your for 1040.  Checking lines 5a and 5b on your form 1040, before and after entering that 1099-R, and the 5b amount should be lower than line 5a.     (But if you answered No, and already entered some $$ in the "General" or "Simplified" calculation area ,you might need to delete your 1099-R first and re-enter it from scratch...not sure of that though)   _________________________________

Go back into TurboTax and confirm the return was filed as Married Filing Jointly, and that your wife’s name and Social Security number are entered exactly as shown on her Social Security card.   You should also log into your IRS online account to verify whether your Form 1040 was received and processed.   If everything looks correct, contact the IRS using the number on your notice to confirm their records. If they still don’t show the return, they may ask you to mail a signed copy to resolve the issue.

Hello,  DianeW777,  I read this conversation since I am having the exact same issue with TT defaulting to my 2025 withholding amounts, which were higher in 2025 than they will be this year. I tried changing them on the forms but it won't update. Turbotax even asked me in the interview what my expected withholding amounts would be, so why wouldn't it use the values I entered? If I followed TT's suggestions, I would significantly underpay my estimates and likely face a fine from the IRS.  Please do request a change on this, since this issue  would apply to a lot of people - like me who retired at the end of 2025!

Option 1 is the definite selection for your 1099-R. My advice is first to clear the cache and cookies, and if necessary to delete the 1099-R and then re-enter it. If you mistakenly checked that it was an IRA, then it may remember that in the background.    You can try the following first to see if it makes a difference. Close your return and do the following: Clear the cookies and cache.   It handles many issues that seem nonsensical on a regular basis with online activity.
