So then, if I have five different PC with Win11, I can download TTax 2025 onto to all five using the same license code. I have it on my Win11 PC. I was trying to help my dad load it on his PC but he has Win10, so that won't work. But then he can't use the same license code for a TTax Online account either. Is that correct?

Sorry if you bought the Desktop program and have a License Code and had to use it for the Online version  you only get 1 federal and state returns.  Online is only good for 1 return per account.       You can start another return in TurboTax Online by: Logging out if you are in your account Choose what TurboTax Online product you want to use for the second return https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/compare/online Create your account screen Set up a new login for the second return Start working on the new return   Turbo Tax Desktop to Online Migration Offer https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/marketing/ty25-ttd-direct-offer/L0aUgksJd_US_en_US "Offer includes one Tax Year 2025 federal return and one state tax return filed using the TurboTax Online" If you used the Desktop program before you may notice several differences and not like the online version. It has less features and no Forms Mode. The Online versions don't have all the same forms so you might have to upgrade to a higher Online version. You can only do 1 return per account. Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2025 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done. In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something. You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.

Hi, This is my situation.  My 1099-NEC box 5 and 7 are blank, box 6 has FL.  Does this mean the income source is FL for state income tax purposes?  I understand I can get rid of TT error message by not entering anything in these boxes.    Thank you!

@GINA-MS wrote: Update:   AI info from google says that he has to be the recipient to be able to receive the deduction so I guess we will not be able to get that deduction this year.    Personally, I disagree with that.  I am a tax professional and I would take the deduction.   One thing that supports that is that the IRS says a business owner can deduct the cost of their Medicare and their spouse's Medicare as health insurance.  A spouse's Medicare would not be in the business owner's name, but the IRS specifically states it is deductible.

That did not help.  In the final review, it came up (somehow) as an item flagged for review and required me to update/review the basis, in that screen (where you have the sort of raw PDF forms you enter data into) I was able to edit the basis that no other screen would let me edit.  This is just a bug in how the data is handled, it happened for multiple 1099-Rs.

If you didn't change the Cost Basis of your Rental Property, yes, the depreciation should be the same each year.  If you had a couple months vacancy, you would just have less Rental income that year, so not sure why your say 'the income doubled'.     If you added any Improvements as an additional Asset, you could have more depreciation if you elected Bonus/Special Depreciation for that asset this year. This would increase your total depreciation, when added to the regular depreciation of the rental.  Or, if you added a new Business Vehicle, you could also have more depreciation, depending on how you claimed it.     You could step through your asset entries again from the Asset Summary page to verify this.    Here's more info on Depreciation of Business Assets and Business Vehicle Depreciation.      @Albert90029
