No, you don't need to prepare form 4852 since you are going to file the extension.   But pay your taxes by 04/15 based on the correct figures so there are no penalties incurred.

My son has some US treasury bond and that was redeemed and he earned some interests ($4760). I'm trying to report this income.   In turbo tax, form mode, I'm seeing Form 8814 - part 1 - Child's Taxable Interest Smart Worksheet - line B (Interest from U.S. bonds, T-bills, etc(nontaxable to state) is $4760 which is expected.   however, on CA Form 3803, part 1, Child's Interest Income Smart Worksheet - line D (United States Saving Bonds, Treasury Bills or other direct federal obligations included in line A) is empty.  turbo tax didn't input anything.   this has lead to the entire $4760 being treated as "other income" and not being substracted on ca 540 Schedule CA. Is this a bug? I see nowhere in the step-by-step mode i can make it fill in form 3803, part 1, line D

VolvoGirl, Please read my revised message that I was typing as you were answering my previous question.  Thank you for any help in explaining this to me.
@JCH10 Thanks, I think I'll try that! Remember to send in the required <1 mW statement under Form 8453 within 3 business days of filing.

This might be an option as we follow-up with the employer. We definitely owe $$ and at this point we will also owe late fees since they withheld less due to the two separate employers for the year. So is it still worth filling out form 4852 when we plan to file an extension?

I’m an Illinois resident with a W-2 taxed in Iowa (employer incorrectly put Iowa... I never worked there. Iowa is also a reciprocal state to Illinois which complicates things). I also have about $4,000 in Illinois self-employment income where tax wasn't withheld. I want to make sure TurboTax calculates my Illinois tax correctly and avoids any underpayment penalty, without overpaying (I'm currently on the screen that warns about a possible underpayment penalty).   My federal return is in good shape so I'd pay an expert to just help with the state taxes but I'm not seeing that option. Anybody know if I should hit YES to the Department of Revenue computing my penalty assuming they realize I already paid Iowa taxes and those should count toward my Illinois taxes??

Hey, thanks a lot for the reply.   I'm using the online version, and I don't have business expense except passthroughs from K1s. But I don't find in the K1 sections where it asks for the depreciation adjustments for states, so I am still confused. Do you possibly know where in the online version that it might allow me to edit that Georgia depreciation?   Thanks,

Go back to where you entered the 1099-R form and edit it there.    If you are in the review, you may not be able to update or delete the state box info, so you will need to return to the 1099-R summary screen and edit the form from there.     Where do I enter a 1099-R?    After you update or remove the state code, go back through the review and you can then e-file.

If all your Foreign Income was from 1099-DIV entries, the Foreign Tax was automatically transferred to the Foreign Tax Credit section.  All you need to do is enter the amount of Foreign Income associated with each 1099-DIV  Use Country 'RIC' as the source and select all your 1099-DIV's.  For each dividend entry, enter the total amount of Foreign Income.    You could delete Form 1116 and step through the Foreign Tax Credit section again.   @dhawal55

The "Easy Extension" option takes me to the exact same page that says at the end that I'm "transmitting my returns," not filing for an extension. Like others here, I'm very wary to hit submit because I don't want to have to refile if the returns are actually submitted with incomplete information. This is a obviously a problem that needs to be fixed.

Hi, I use Turbotax desktop version. Based on what I know when the return involves From 3115 that needs to be mailed physically a separate copy to the address indicate on IRS website, Turbotax knows so and generate a cover page or statement to go with the submittal. I did not see this statement or cover page. Anyone knows so and Turbotax does not have an expert but robot to answer the questions that very often either relevant or wrong. It was a waste of time.

Hi,  I keep on getting an error message when I try to submit my tax declaration to CRA through NETFILE. My document is declined because I did not enter a value for PPIP (box 55 on my T4). I do not contribute to PPIP, so box 55 is empty on my T4. I work in Quebec but my employer is outside of Quebec and is not registered for payroll deductions with Revenu Quebec.  How can I fix this issue to submit my declaration digitally?   P.S. I was able to submit my declaration to Revenu Quebec, the issue is with CRA-NETFILE.
