@localhero wrote: .....with no personal days, it doesn't matter... any idea as to why that's even on the form then?  Because although Congress wrote the Tax Code, the IRS develops the tax forms and, honestly, they're not too bright. I believe that the inclusion of personal days (only once on the Schedule E) is primarily due to those who have Vacation/Short-Term Rental property (look at the form) and who typically also use that property as their vacation homes as well as for rental use.   I further believe they didn't know how to segregate that from the scenario where long-term rentals sit unoccupied for any period of time. It would really clarify matters if they just asked for the number of personal use days and the number of days the property was ready and available for rent (the latter of which is the actual law). Just my opinion.

Hello,  Thank you for your help. I prepare the returns for my son who has a Roth IRA that was started in 2022. When I entered the contribution for 2025, I just so happen to come upon the question about having TT track the basis of the Roth IRA. Curiously, I went the form section and pulled up the IRA information worksheet for all the years from 2024 to 2022.  Alarmingly,  I noticed the return from 2022 worksheets had a basis under the categories "Basis in Roth IRA Conversions" of $30,000  and " Conversion basis carryover as of 12/31/22 of $30,000.   Then again on the 2023 returns it showed up again with "Conversion basis carryover as of 12/31/23 " of $30,000 and the " Basis in Roth IRA Conversion "  $30,000.   He never did a Roth Conversion. The 2022 year was first the he ever contributed to any IRA.   For the 2024 and 2025, these Conversion amounts did not show up on the IRA information worksheet.   I am afraid that the IRS may think he did a conversion in 2022 or earlier and will be wrongly penalized because no tax was paid for these conversions. I was not aware of this  entry  of $30,000 on the worksheet until I looked into these worksheets. Will the IRS see the worksheet? How do I know if I mistakenly reported a conversion back in 2022 when such action was not carried out?   Do I need to amend the returns of 2022 and 2023 ?  I would not know what section to say he did not do a  Roth conversion of $30,000 ever.    Please help .

The amount of State Income Tax on Schedule A, Line 5a can be from your W-2's, as you mentioned.  It can also come from a Sales Tax Deduction.  Check the Tax and Interest Deduction Worksheet to see if you have an amount listed on Line 1g.   If you had any 1099 forms in your return, you may have had State Tax withheld on those distributions also.  If you can't resolve the amount, let us know and we'll try to help, although we can't see your return in this forum.   @joebeachem

I put the name and date of my spouse on the wrong return.
Oh, are you trying to enter it on a 1099INT for interest?  Dividends go in a different place which has box 1a and 1b.  Delete it out of interest and go back and pick Dividends.

I have a 2024 entry for self-employed income. When I "Edit" that entry it takes me to a screen where I choose "Looks Good" and it then skips to a screen that says "Time to add expenses". It doesn't let me actually add income to that entry. I have tried clearing cookies, cache, incognito browser, different computers, and different browsers. If I do a NEW entry I can enter income, but I want it linked to my 2024 entry.
No.   Qualified Dividends in 1b is the amount of 1a that is qualified.  It is already included in 1a.  And it's a 1099 Div not a Int.

Turboimpôt web m'a suggéré de passer à la version Premier. J'ai accepté, mais je croyais que le tout s'ajusterait si je n'en avais pas besoin finalement. Au moment de payer, je ne semble plus avoir le choix. Est-ce que la version Premier est vraiment nécessaire pour un simple revenu de placements (T5)? Merci.

Public Law 104-95  Sec. 114  (1996) ‘§ 114. Limitation on State income taxation of certain pension income ‘‘(a) No State may impose an income tax on any retirement income of an individual who is not a resident or domiciliary of such State (as determined under the laws of such State)."   Since most users don't know the law, why does every version of TT allow taxing non-residents for pension/retirement income from other states????  How hard is it to ask a couple questions about a 1099 pension/annuity/403b/ etc., if you can't automatically determine) and remove that income from the non-resident state return?  Or at least tell the user "This income is not taxable in the State XX."  
Look on pg 2 of Form 1040, line 26. This should be your total estimated tax payments plus any 2024 overpayment that you had applied to 2025.
The 15% is not taxed by federal so it doesn't show up on the state return to start with.  Only the 85% taxable amount needs to be subtracted from state.

This is the first year that I need to deal with T5008.. I imported all the T5008 from CRA , as before , no disposition dates or investment type imported .  I entered those info one by one in T5008.  I double check dates are entered line by line in T5008 .  When I use the NETFILE , the ERROR of missing disposition dates stop me to file it . What would be the reasons?
