Impossible d'utiliser Impôtnet QC.  TurboImpôt a détecté des problèmes qui empêcheront la création du fichier requis pour utiliser le service ImpôtNet Québec.    Lorsque j'imprime la déclaration, elle me donne une erreur suivante: Erreur d'impression du TPF-1.U:504   Pourtant, l'an dernier, tout était OK avec les mêmes types de revenus.

@colotom  Yeah....for the buttons, you do what I said for the first one. Then when you select the second one, the first button is supposed to disappear.....but it is required to be set set as "Multiple States" in hiding....which is why it needs to be doen forst. It's just that the first button needs to be set to the Multiple States selection first before moving on to the second one.   Thankfully you found a way around it anyhow. ________________________ For 1099-INT forms that have tax-exempt $$ in box 8 from different states...the first button selection is immaterial...as the second button takes precedence.   Thus an inconsistency in their programming that I've complained about to the supposed experts......but the powers that be don't seem to realize it's a problem with their software 1099-DIV form.

With downloaded desktop version of deluxe federal + state, I followed the instructions you provided, however the software is still not presenting both options to select standard or itemized. It simply notes good news that standard deduction has been elected...no other option available. Please advise ASAP!!

Having a CA drivers license does not dictate that you have to file a CA tax return.  If you did not live or work in CA you do not have to file a CA tax return.   Did you live in CA for any part of 2025?   If so, you would need to file a part-year CA return for income received while you were a resident of CA.   And...if you have been living in some other state for over a year since leaving CA, you are way past due to get a drivers license in your new state.

You can just enter the total as Other self employment income or as Cash or General income. You don't need to get a 1099MISC, 1099NEC or 1099K. Even if you did you can enter all your income as Cash. Only the total goes to schedule C. You should be entering the income from your own records.

Here is how to do this in TurboTax Online:    Go to the self-employed section Either select the Uber business you have already created or create a new business. Enter information about the business as the interview requests. Once you have confirmed the info about the business looks good, you'll be asked to enter the income from your work.  you can enter the amount from the 1099-K you received, or if you did not receive a 1099-K, you can select other self-employed income to report earning that were below the reporting threshold.

Is your "first" dependent by any chance a teenager or student who recently filed their first tax return?   This often happens with kids who file incorrectly and say on their own return that no one else can claim them.   Your remedy for filing is to claim your dependents and file by mail.  Print, sign and date your return in ink, and mail it in.  The IRS will sort out the duplicate use of a dependent's SSN.

I'm having the same difficulty with my lump sum SS benefit. I followed the  guidance and verified that my 2024 taxable SS benefit amount is correct. it continues to show the error when doing a check and when it try to file, help!
