Yes, you still report the Airbnb income even without a 1099, and you can deduct ordinary and necessary expenses against it. The IRS requires reporting all income regardless of forms received.   You report it on either Schedule E (rental), and deduct things like cleaning, fees, supplies, and a portion of utilities/mortgage tied to the rental.  Follow the directions below: 1. Go to the Federal section, then select Wages & Income. 2. Scroll down to Rental Properties and Royalties (Schedule E) and select Start or Edit. 3. Enter your Airbnb rental income as gross receipts. 4. Add any related expenses (cleaning, maintenance, supplies) to reduce taxable income.  

J'aimerais bien savoir si des utilisateurs de Turboimpôt ont déjà utilisé cette fonction (Retransmettre) et que tout a bien fonctionnné.   P.S. J'ai l'impression que ça ne fonctionne jamais.   Merci.

I had entered 0 in the taxable amount, rather than the taxable amount, so it assumed it was not taxable to begin with so no need to consider it a QCD - thus adding it to the Sch A Charitable amount.  Thank you for suggesting to look at the TurboTax worksheets! 

The warning sign means that something’s still not finished. Either the return isn’t finalized yet, or the File section hasn’t been completed, even if you enter your bank account information.   To Fix this: Go to the Federal Review section, then click Review and resolve all flagged issues. Go to the File Section, then select E-file.    In the Payment Method section, select Direct Debit or Electronic Funds Withdrawal and enter your bank account/routing numbers there. Remember that direct debit is only available if you choose to e-file. It’s not available for the file by mail option.  

The IRS issues most refunds within 21 days, assuming that there's no delay and nothing is holding your return. Some returns are subject to an automatic hold when certain credits are claimed.    Open the link below to see what to do if your refund is taking longer than the frame time. What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?   Also, you should track your refund by clicking the following link: Where's my Refund  

Thanks for your reply. It was my fault - I misunderstood the 3rd question about the country after it asked two times about it so It didn't have a country to apply the credit to. After I fixed it it went trough without issues.

Here is the breakdown of how to handle Form 8949 and that red exclamation point.   1. Reporting the Wash Sale You are correct on the mechanics. If you have a disallowed loss due to a wash sale:   Column (f): Enter the code W. Column (g): Enter the amount of the disallowed loss as a positive number. The Result: Since Column (h) is calculated as $(Cost - Proceeds) + Adjustment$, entering the loss amount as a positive number in Column (g) effectively zeros out the loss (or reduces it), ensuring you aren't claiming a deduction you aren't allowed to take yet. 2. Is an Explanation Required? For a standard wash sale reported by your broker (which is usually the case for stocks), no separate written explanation is required. The "W" code itself acts as the explanation. The IRS knows exactly what that code means. You only need to provide additional documentation if you are disputing the broker's math or if you have a very complex scenario involving wash sales across different accounts that weren't captured on your 1099-B.   3. The Red Exclamation Point  It usually appears because:   Manual Entry: You might have typed the "W" but left a related field blank. Review Flag: The software wants you to "Check Entry" to confirm you didn't accidentally trigger a wash sale by mistake. How to remove it: Click on the "Review" or "Errors" tab in your software. It will take you to the specific line. Usually, once you verify the entry or click "Continue" through the guided questions, the software clears the flag. If it stays red, you may be missing the date acquired or date sold, which are mandatory for electronic filing. 4. Electronic Filing Concerns A wash sale will not prevent you from filing electronically, provided the form is filled out completely. The IRS receives millions of 8949s with "W" codes every year. As long as your totals from Form 8949 flow correctly onto your Schedule D, your return is electronically "clean." Quick Checklist for E-Filing: Ensure Box A, B, or C is checked at the top of Form 8949 (indicating whether the basis was reported to the IRS). Verify that the Description of Property (Column a) is filled in. Check that the Adjustment amount in Column (g) matches the "Wash sale loss disallowed" amount on your 1099-B.  

This is happening on the Desktop version.  I never said I had a Canadian pension & never checked any boxes saying I lived or earned money in Canada.  I was asked if I lived in a list of countries, including Egypt and Canada, but I checked the box saying I HAD NOT lived in any of the countries.  There appears to be a bug in both the online (according to the OP) and in the desktop versions.

The T936 Calculation of Cumulative Net Investment Loss (CNIL) is used to help calculate your capital gains deduction (line 25400), which is a deduction that you can claim against taxable capital gains you realized from the disposition of certain capital properties.    It doesn't directly reduce your Taxable capital gains (Line 12700).    

Please see the following from the Colorado booklet on page 21:   Line 12 Qualifying Charitable Contributions  Taxpayers who make charitable contributions that would be eligible for a federal income tax deduction, but do not claim federal itemized deductions on Schedule A of form 1040, 1040SR, 1040NR, or 1040SP, might be eligible to deduct a portion of their contribution on this form. We recommend that you read publication Income Tax Topics: Charitable Contributions if this applies to you. Use the following worksheet to determine your qualifying contribution.    (a) Did you itemize your deductions on Schedule A of federal form 1040, 1040SR, 1040NR, or 1040SP? Yes No  (b) Did you deduct charitable contributions on Schedule A of federal form 1040, 1040SR, 1040NR, or 1040SP? Yes No  If you answered Yes on either (a) or (b) above, enter $0 on line 12; you do not qualify for this subtraction. If you answered No on both (a) and (b) above, continue below. But as I read your post, you did itemize on your federal return, so you would not able to qualify for this subtraction.   As you can see, your Colorado return starts on line 1 of the Form 104, which comes from line 15 on your 1040. But line 15 on the 1040 is after your itemized deductions, so your charitable contributions are already included when you start your Colorado return.
