Yes, you'll have to pay taxes on winnings from a state that is not your home state.  You'll file a non-resident tax return in that state, and post your winnings. You also must report ‌income in your home state.  You may receive a credit for taxes paid to the other state. If there is no tax due, you won't have to file the return.

You won it there. But whether you have to file a return is a different question. Most states have a minimum. we could provide more info if you tell us the state or DIY. Check the state website and see  who must file

This method seems to open a new Turbotax return on the Desktop version. Is there a way to "Continue from TurboTax online" to get the crypto 8959 form into an existing Turbotax return? For context, I have already spent weeks entering all of my information (and carrying over from previous years) and am simply looking to add the crypto gains/losses as the final step to an existing return.

Just to clarify first, we have three 1099-Rs: two for the rollovers and one for a small pension.   I went to the Forms view. The Federal 1040 shows the correct amounts and the Rollover box is checked.  Next, I looked at the MO-1040: line 6 displays the correct amount, and it's under the income limit for our filing. Then, the MO-PTS: - line 1 (from MO-1040 line 6) is correct - line 2 is correct - line 3 ("Total amount of pensions, annuities, dividends,...") is incorrect, based on your answer. It is filled in with a number from the Form 1099-R Summary document, Pensions and Annuities section, line 22 ("Total gross distributions from box 1 of Form 1099-R"). This line on the summary form shows the small pension amount under the Taxpayer column and the total amount of the two rollovers in the Spouse column. TT is using only the Spouse column value on line 3 of the MO-PTS:  TT has excluded the summary form's Taxpayer column amount (correct actually for Missouri), but included the Spouse column amount (that would actually be $0 without the rollovers). That looks like a bug, er "undocumented feature". Also, I asked if Missouri is not excluding rollovers because nowhere in the text for line 3, nor in the MO-PTS instructions, does it say to exclude non-taxable items on the 1099-R forms, such as rollovers. And, TT is clearly including them in both the 1099 -R Summary document and the MO-PTS form. So, ??? I'm confused!

I just received news that an update is being run tonight for TurboTax Online (including mobile in a browser but not the App) to enable the upload of a CSV file for crypto transactions. Check tomorrow in TurboTax Online and it should be there.   I don't have an update as of now for Desktop. This help article will be updated when there is a change.   See this article for information to request a refund for Desktop.   If you wanted to switch from Desktop to Online: though you can't switch using the current year return, you can import your last year's return and then rebuild this year's return. See this article for details.   @jasondwightwood  @jacqueskb  @hyperkik  @Dlvsm  @minifleesd  @user17717007487   

The program is struggling when multiple is listed second. You just need to switch the order.   The federal Be sure to list the multiple states first with the amount Second spot is MI and the amount If this does not clear the issue: A full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax, sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files). Online version: Delete the form,  see How to Delete   Log out of your return and try one or more of the following: Don't use Internet Explorer. Clear cache and cookies, Sign in using a different browser. Sign in using a different device. Log back into your return. Enter the information again.  Desktop version:  Delete the form Save your return while closing the program. Update the program Open Enter the information again.

I'll check out the link.  I've done BD Roths in TT since 2020; however, I just got done amending returns 2020-2024 to capture pro rata on spouse Roth's due to owning a SIMPLE and having very poor guidance by the investment firm when we started doing the conversions due to income limits.  This pro rata mistake cost us $3200 and created a rolling basis on each next year's Form 8606 for the spouse.  The amendments were confirmed correct by our CPA.   With that said, I noticed the taxpayer ROTH now has a basis rolling forward as well - not sure what happened.  These BD Roth conversions are complicated in TT, especially with Pro Rata and having to override cells due to TT not asking the right questions in the wizard.  I'm an accountant and this whole scenario has been a very frustrating experience.  It's almost easier to hand do these forms than use the software.   For example, it took me an entire weekend to figure out that I had to call it a Traditional  and select "No" to the question  "Did you change your mind and convert this to a Roth" in the wizard.  Turns out you just enter the 1099-R and hope it reconciles.   And the 1099-R likely doesn't match your actual contribution.    All of that said, is it not a good idea to have TT track basis though, in the IRA Info Worksheet?  My husband is now wondering if we should at least be tracking total Roth Basis somewhere in the tax return for future tax free distributions.

Thank you for providing the instructions. One additional question is do we need to file 179 for the losses to route as an active income/loss to your earnings Or does it happen automatically. Also how do i treat a property that went through significant rennovation/upliftment ? Do i put the acquisition cost as initial acquisition cost or include rennovation cost when adding the property ?

You would only need to amend your return if you received a schedule K-1 from the trust of the deceased for the tax year of 2025 reporting income that belonged to you. The distribution of funds would not necessarily create taxable income, as inheritances are not necessarily taxable. You would typically only pay tax on your portion of income the trust earned after it was created.   

My children were listed as “Nondependent” on my tax return, but I needed to list them in order to file that my Dependent Care Savings Account was used since it is a pre-taxed account. The account is under my name and my paychecks route to it, which is why I need to file the claim, not my now husband. This is resolved. All I needed was my IP PIN. It kept showing error since our children were claimed by him already. Thanks anyway
