Please clarify. Where exactly are you in TurboTax? What version are you using?
Using the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions, a third party designee can be added using Forms mode and enter the designee on the Federal Information worksheet. The federal tax return can be e-filed with the designee entered.

Hello everyone, I have been living in US since January 2023 with a J1 visa and I never left the country since then. This year was my first year as a resident for tax purposes and my wife (J2) and I could file as married filing jointly and use the standard deductions. However, we are leaving the country by the beginning of June (or end of May). So, I have a question regarding our filing status next year: - Is it possible for us to choose to be treated as residents for the full year or would our only option be to file as dual-status taxpayers? I am asking because, with dual-status filing, we would have to file as married filing separately and would not be eligible for the standard deduction. I also understand that if we choose to be treated as full-year residents, any income earned in our home country would be subject to US taxation. However, considering the standard deduction and exchange rates, this option might still be more beneficial than filing as dual-status. Thank you in advance!

yes, like I said the Box 11 ZZ is for "SECTION 475(F) INCOME" (the full amount). What schedule should that be reported on? Because I cannot access forms directly when using TurboTax Online, I can't input that information anywhere. I guess that is why the rep said I could not file online.

Is this to form 8949, column-f gets the 'W' and column-g gets the adjustment (reducing my loss)? Is any explanation required? If so, how is that documented? Is there any way (or any need) to remove the Red exclamation point next to form 8949? Will this cause any problems with filing electronically? Thank you so much!!!

Right. You can only fill in the 3rd party designee using the Desktop program in Forms mode. You can't do it in the Online version. You have to switch to Forms mode (click Forms in the upper right (left for Mac)) and select the Info Wks. Scroll down until you get to Part V Third Party designee: section. Check the YES box and then you can fill in the name, phone number and any 5 numbers for the PIN.

Box 11ZZ can be for anything. You need to know what it represents, which may be provided in box 20. Then you need to re-enter the amount on a line in the sub-worksheet for 11ZZ that best describes it. If you don't, TurboTax will likely not allow you to e-file because 11zz is not complete.
There are 2 categories, nonpassive income/loss to be reported on Schedule E page 2
or something else which requires further entry on the appropriate Form or Schedule.

Using Turbo Tax Deluxe 2025. I see 3rd party designee when I switch to "forms". It's at the bottom of the 1040. But I can't find it when using step-by-step. I went through the entire review process again and it never prompts me to add this. How do I find it?

Reporting $0 Texas rental income would also report $0 Texas rental income to your state of residence.
Are you reporting a Hawaii state income tax return just to report the rental property in Hawaii?
The software uses the physical address of the rental property to assign the rental property to a state income tax return.
Has an incorrect zip code or address been entered to the Texas property? Please clarify.

This issue is reported as resolved, although since it only affected some users, results may be inconclusive. Have you tried a Manual Update?

Why does my TT account say I still owe tax due?
TT does not update after your return has been accepted. Your account will always show the result of the return you prepared using the software. TurboTax never knows if you received your refund —or how, when or even if you paid tax due. Your proof that you paid your tax will be your own bank/credit card records.
You can also check your own IRS account:

If you are using TurboTax Online, please review the PDF of your prior year return to confirm the Rental Property information is included. From Tax Home, scroll down and select Your tax returns & documents. Select the year you want and select Download/print return (PDF). This exercise is important to be sure TurboTax saved this information in your account.
If you are using TurboTax Desktop, save the current year return you have been working on. Then start a new return and transfer your prior year return again; save under a new name. Check Rental Properties under Federal Taxes (or Personal in Home & Business) to confirm the information transferred properly.
Please post your results to this thread.

MLP sale. Purchase price $32,000. Sold for $28,000. K-1 supplemental data - Initial Basis = $32,000. Cum Adj to Basis = -$92,000. Gain subject to Recapture as ord Income = $73,000. I entered minus $73,000 and plus $73,000 in the Final sale screen in TT and that flowed to Section A of the K-1. That secrion showed no Capital Gains nd the $73,000 as Ordinary Gain which was mostly offset by accumulated Lossed. Finaly the question! TT advice says to adjust the cost basis I got from Schwab. Is the New Basis $62,000? Please, I need specific answer. Thanks

Where is it showing you still owe taxes? Turbo Tax will always say the Tax Due or Refund. That is just the result of your tax return when you filed. It doesn’t know if or when you paid it and the IRS or state doesn’t update Turbo Tax when they get your payment. Your only proof of payment is your bank statement or credit card showing the payment coming out. Turbo Tax only passes your bank account number to the IRS or state for them to take it out of your account.
