If you paid alternative minimum tax (AMT) in the past, you might be able to claim a credit on your 2025 return. You qualify only if you paid AMT in a prior year because of timing items.  The most common are:   - Depreciation - Incentive stock options - Intangible drilling costs connected with an oil or gas activity   If you transferred your 2024 return, the credit should calculate automatically for you if your 2024 return contained Forms 6251 or 8801.  Go go Deductions & Credits > Estimates & Other Taxes Paid > Credit for AMT Paid in Prior Year and enter info from your prior year return to calculate the credit.    Here's more info on Form 8801for AMT Credit.    @jepey89

Hi All, I am filing jointly with my wife - we had a kid last year. My wife was on maternity leave received a 2nd w2 with Box 1 empty  and only Box 14 (Other) :  VDI $XXXX Box 12a : J  and not other box has any dollar amount. This is from my medical insurance company for voluntary disability insurance.    So do I need to file this with my taxes. Issue I have is that Turbo tax software says if box 1 is empty I need to paper file it. Any guidance is highly appreciated.  thanks

The Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) paid to federal civilian employees in Hawaii is exempt from federal income tax. Because it is non-taxable federally, this amount is not included in your W-2's Box 1 (Federal wages).  Your employer should include the COLA amount in Box 16 (State wages) of your W-2. Because COLA is included in state wages but not federal wages, your Box 16 will typically be higher than Box 1.   When you file your Hawaii resident return (Form N-11), you must account for this difference. Hawaii law requires you to add back the non-taxable federal COLA to your state income. If the adjustment is in Box 16, you do not have to do anything.  If it is not you can add it in the Hawaii section of TurboTax.

In TurboTax, your vehicle basis is the original cost of your vehicle (your purchase price plus sales tax, title, and registration fees) used to calculate depreciation and potential gains/losses when used for business. It shows your investment in your vehicle. If you used your vehicle for personal reasons, the basis has to be adjusted by your business use percentage.   In TurboTax, you can go to Business Expenses > Vehicle Expenses > Edit to enter or update your information.   See Also: Business Use of Vehicles   If you have additional information or questions regarding this, please return to Community and we would be glad to help.

I'm have the exact same problem. I have checked the box you've shown to "file Form 1116 even if not required", and it still does not go to the PDF. Every prior year this has worked fine. Below is an image from my 2024 return (showing the page with year detail). It shows $793 for "6th Preceding Tax Year", so for 2025 return it would be $793 for "7th Preceding Tax Year". I can see the form and it's worksheet in TurboTax and it confirms the $793 amount from 2018. I can "print" both of those forms to a PDF file. Interestingly neither includes the Schedule B (Form 1116) page I'm showing you from last year (there are a total of 4 pages relating to 1116 filed in my preceding returns). What else should I try? Thanks.
