Sra302002 did you revisit all the steps in "Your refund info"? You have to click through several continues to get back to it. Don’t delete the form, that doesn’t work in TurboTax online. It doesn’t hurt anything, just gives you a couple jinky things to fill out but it doesn’t help you.

It is correct that TurboTax Desktop (Premier or Home & Business) will allow you to fill out Form 3115, but it does not support e-filing it. This requires a paper return.

One with your tax return and a separate signed copy to the IRS in Ogden, UT to this address: Internal Revenue Service, Ogden, UT 84201, Attn: M/S 6111.   Make sure the copy sent to the Ogden address is signed and dated.   To find this Form in TurboTax Desktop, you can:   TurboTax should generate instructions; if it did not, you can find the necessary information as follows: Click on Forms at the top right of your TurboTax screen to switch to Forms Mode Scroll down the list of Forms in the left panel of your TurboTax screen to find the instruction sheet for Form 3115 Click on it and  Click on print at the bottom left of the form that is displayed in the right panel of your TurboTax return See also: Form 3115 Instructions for Form 3115  If you have additional information or questions regarding this, please return to Community and we would be glad to help.

What  was revised?  Looks the same to me.  My answer still stands.  Turbo Tax is doing it according to the IRS.  Read my post above and check the screenshot of the IRS instructions.  And here is the actual IRS Schedule 1-A.  LIne 35 says to Subtract line 34 from 6,000 (not 12,000).  If you have questions you have to complain to your congressman.

I purchased the desktop versions of Turbo Tax Deluxe and Turbo Tax Home and Business.  Can I e-file 10 returns in total since I purchased 2 products?  If so, how do I it?  Both editions tell me I have reached the maximum of 5 filings.  I have tried Switch Product under Help, but no luck.

I have a K-1 from a S corp that is engaged in the business of trading financial instruments or commodities. The K-1 indicate -5,000 in ordinary business income which is various expenses including interest expense to support trading. It reports 10,000 in net short-term capital gains.    When it comes to schedule 8960. It is pulling in the 10,000 in short-term capital gains. On line 4a it pulls in -5000 of ordinary business income but it is automatically backed out in 4b. Shouldn't I be able to net down the trading losses for NIIT purposes by the investment expense?    Is there some way I can manually edit the form in TT online?  If not, what do I need to change in the input of the K-1 to make it not automatically backed out? 
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
how to unselect Trump account?. I am not getting that option 2nd time to unselect.
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,
