Form 1099-S is entered under Investment Income. TurboTax will guide you through the interview to enter your 1099-S for the sale of your land.   Refer to the article Where do I enter the sale of a second home, an inherited home, or land on my 2025 taxes? for instructions.  

Did you see anything about a $20 or 25 charge?   It should be $25 to efile each state from the Desktop program.  $20 if you have Turbo Tax Advantage auto renew.  Oh, and where did you buy Turbo Tax?   Did you get an email for the charge?  My order confirmation email came directly from Intuit Turbo Tax.  And says.....   TURBOTAX DESKTOP STATE RETURN CA TAX YEAR 2025 E-FILE   And my state efile Visa charge says…. INTUIT *TURBOTAX CL.INTUIT.COMCA

I don't know what that's for.  Is that a recent charge?    Did you get an emailed order confirmation from Intuit/TurboTax detailing the charges?    Even had you needed an extra state program in the desktop product it's $45, so that would not explain $40.    Or did you happen to buy the Audit Defense product?   No one in the community forum can see anything account-specific.  If you need to ask the folks at TurboTax about any charges, here's how to reach them:   TurboTax Customer Support https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/contact/

Well, these are not interests but pensions. As pointed out earlier, non taxable in reason of the tax treaty between the Us and France. Not sure your solution would help in that context?   regards,   jerry

(no state efile fee for New York state).  And no fee to print and mail the state return.     If you are using desktop software and chose to pay that $25 efile fee out of your Federal refund, there is an extra $40 service fee ($45 for California filers.)    So that would be a total of $65 ultimately.

  To qualify for the car loan interest deduction, your vehicle must meet all these rules: It was purchased, not leased, in 2025. It’s a brand-new vehicle. It’s not a used vehicle. Its final assembly was in the U.S. You can check this by entering your VIN and model year into the VIN decoder provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. You’ll also include the VIN on your tax return. It's a car, van, SUV, motorcycle, or pickup truck that weighs less than 14,000 pounds. You bought it for personal use. You didn’t pay the interest to a family member or a business you own. The loan must be secured by the vehicle. New car loan interest is entered in the Deductions and Credits Section. You will see it on Schedule 1a and will end up on Form 1040, line 13.   To enter your car loan interest: Go to Deductions & Credits Add more deductions Cars and Other things you own Car loan interest Follow the screen prompts.

While the IRS focus is on whether you "used" the home as a primary residence for 24 months, NYS is notorious for its aggressive "Statutory Residency" audits, which look at your global ties and day counts.   Federal: To exclude up to $250,000 (single) or $500,000 (married) in capital gains, you must meet the Ownership and Use tests. Since you already own the home, the "Use" test is where documentation matters. The IRS looks for "Primary Residence" indicators: Voter Registration: Moving your registration to Florida is a major legal marker. Mailing Address: Use the Florida address for your IRS filings, VA correspondence, and Social Security. The "Non-Qualified Use" Rule: Be aware that if you owned the Florida home as a "second home" or rental before moving into it as a primary residence, the IRS may prorate your exclusion. You only get the full exclusion for the period it was your primary home. If you moved there with intent to stay and had a reason you had to move - like health, there are some exceptions that allow a proration.   NY:As a 100% service-connected veteran, you may also have specific property tax exemptions in Florida that can serve as  "intent" evidence for your residency. New York State will try to tax your Florida gain if they consider you a Statutory Resident. You are a resident of NY if you: Maintain a "permanent place of abode" (your NY home). Spend more than 183 days in NY during the tax year. Cell Phone Pings/Records: NY auditors frequently request cell phone records to track which towers your phone hit on specific days to verify your location. Credit Card Statements: Showing daily spending (groceries, gas, coffee) in Florida vs. New York. The "Teddy Bear" Test: NY auditors look at where your "near and dear" items are (family photos, heirlooms, pets, or high-value collections). If these are still in NY, they may argue you never truly left. The FL homestead veterans exemption is inconsistent with being a NY resident NY STAR credit or residency based exemptions should not qualify with FL residency

That is pretty much the case, in 2026, the temporary caps on repaying excess Advance Premium Tax Credit (APTC) expire.   The income eligibility limit is strictly reinstated at 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).   If your household income exceeds this limit by even one dollar, you are disqualified from the credit and must repay 100% of any advance subsidies received during the year.   Unlike the repayment side, there is no safe harbor for making less than expected.   If your income falls below 100% of the FPL, you may lose eligibility for the PTC entirely and potentially be directed toward Medicaid, though you typically do not have to repay credits already received if you provided a good-faith estimate at enrollment.   And yes, you can make contributions to retirement/HSA accounts to potentially lower your modified adjusted gross income to remain in range for the credit/subsidy.
