No one can see your screen or your tax return.  We do not know what you mean by "in this instance" or what you are trying to do in regard to Aetna orBlue Cross insurance.   Please explain and be specific.

It depends. The statements are the same in both TurboTax Online and TurboTax Desktop. It's important that you made the appropriate selections so that TurboTax does know that it was not self employment income. These questions are in both versions. Open your TurboTax Online/Mobile or TurboTax Desktop tax return Search (upper right) > type 1099misc > click the Jump to... link Begin your entry of the 1099-MISC. It's important for you to select 'None of these apply' and then you should also select the following: 'No' on the screen 'Did the '____' involve work that's like your main job?' 'No' on the screen 'Did the '____'  involve an intent to earn money?' This will report the income without any business/self employment activity and it will show up on Form 1040, Line 8 (From Schedule 1, Line 8z). Continue to complete this section. @user17753549921

Thank you for providing the token number for your diagnostic file.  I'm working through the process of writing the report to submit to the development team for further investigation. You'll be contacted once there is an update to the issue. 

I summarized it and already submitted my taxes so does that mean I have to send a copy of a 1099DA . and I also entered sales from another exchange that I did not receive a 1099 DA from and I entered those sales individually  - do I have to send a copy of my log for that and if so,what is the address I send it to

No. Not always. Form 8606 is used to calculate the taxable amount of your Roth IRA.  Since you have Code T, this is telling TurboTax that you have met your 5 year holding period.  And if you already entered your age and are over 59.5, this would not be taxable income.     

I think you're referring to your tax return, Form 1040. and the posting of a retirement withdrawal reported on a for 1099-R.   Box 1z is income. It includes you  W-2's and other income forms of income. It doesn't include any Social Security or retirement income. Line 5a is retirement income that is reported on a Form 1099-R. You should check the posting of the 1099-R to confirm the amount is $13,014. The two numbers are separately calculated.   It's a coincidence that they are soo close.

Yes, you are correct. The negative income entered under 'Other Income' can only be the net amount so that it's equal.    As indicated earlier, there is no need to enter duplicated income at all. If the two 1099-MISCs are an exact duplicate and you did not receive the income twice, it should just remain in your file with all tax documents and the information about contacting the company in regards to the discrepancy.   @Pedernales

Canada (Canada Revenue Agency) determines tax residency based on residential ties, not immigration status. You are a factual resident if you maintain ties such as a home, family, or financial/ID connections in Canada and must report worldwide income. If you sever most ties and stay in the U.S. long-term, you may become a non-resident or deemed non-resident. The U.S. (Internal Revenue Service) uses the Substantial Presence Test (SPT): 183 days in a year or a 3-year formula. However, students on an F-1 visa are generally exempt for up to 5 years and are treated as non-resident aliens.  Tax residency depends on ties and visa status. Most Canadian PR students in the U.S. remain Canadian tax residents and U.S. non-residents for tax purposes.

If you have already filed your return:   If the account you provided is invalid, the IRS will mail you a refund check.   If you gave the wrong account, you can call the IRS at 800-829-1040 and ask to stop the direct deposit and send you a check. If your return gets rejected, you can go back and change the information on your return before filing it again.  What if I entered the wrong bank account for direct deposit?

Which box on the T4RIF is the amount currently reported in? Does your Transfer Under Paragraph 60(l) receipt specify a sub-paragraph?   Have you already entered a T4RIF into TurboTax, or are you looking for the RRSP entry screen first? * Is the "normal" contribution you are seeing on the Summary currently affecting your "RRSP Deduction Limit" for the year?
