To edit information on the Car & Truck Worksheet in TurboTax Online, you need to review your answers under the Vehicle expense topic for your Schedule C or Schedule E business. There is no direct form access in the online product.   If you wish to work directly in forms, you can purchase and install TurboTax Desktop then transfer your return file. See How do I switch from TurboTax Online to the TurboTax software?

Is the 2 years calculated using the calendar year? I last lived in my home in May 2025 (and lived there for more than 2 years before that). Does this mean if I sell by May 2028 I will meet the residency requirement?

Are you claiming a qualified dependent?   Am I Head of Household?   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-filing-status/qualify-head-household-2021/L0NxUtVc2_US_en_US?uid=m5x19jkx https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-filing-status/qualifying-person-head-household/L2TmgztNs_US_en_US   If you qualify as Head of Household, when you enter your marital status (single or married filing separately) into MyInfo, and then enter your qualifying dependent, TurboTax will offer HOH as your filing status.  

Si hiciste un pago de impuestos hace dos semanas por transferencia bancaria y parece que no se ha recibido, es muy probable que el pago aún esté en proceso o que haya un retraso en la actualización del estado. Aquí hay algunos pasos que podrías considerar: 1. Revisa tu estado de cuenta bancario para confirmar que la transferencia se completó y que se descontó el monto. 2. Verifica nuevamente el estado del pago en tu cuenta de TurboTax o en la sección de pagos de impuestos para ver si ha habido alguna actualización. 3. Espera unos días más si la transferencia es reciente, ya que los tiempos de procesamiento pueden variar. Si después de un tiempo el pago aún no aparece como recibido, podrías verificar los detalles de la transferencia o el método de pago para asegurarte de que se haya enviado correctamente.

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities.  There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.   TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.      First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.     You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2025 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds   To track your state refund:     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr   If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refunds-take-longer-others/L14YlqFrH_US_en_US?uid=lexdr7zh . https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/irs-refund-taking-longer-21-days/L2vRAJbdU_US_en_US?uid=lexe7lst         If you are getting earned income credit on line 27 or additional child tax credit on line 28 You are subject to the delay required by the PATH act.  Do not expect your refund before early March   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/federal-refunds-delayed-due-path-act/L5jnQJsBi_US_en_US   Note:  “Accepted” is not the same as “approved”.  TurboTax tells you the e-file was accepted if the IRS deems that there is enough information on the return for them to take it in for processing.   Only the IRS can approve of the refund, which is a later stage of processing.  If the IRS approves your refund they will provide a date for the refund to be issued.   FROM THE IRS WHERE’S MY REFUND SITE: https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund How it works Where's My Refund shows your refund status: Return Received – We received your return and are processing it. Refund Approved – We approved your refund and are preparing to issue it by the date shown. Refund Sent – We sent the refund to your bank or to you in the mail. It may take 5 days for it to show in your bank account or several weeks for your check to arrive in the mail.    

I'm going to ask @Rick19744 to get involved here because he's essentially an expert in partnership taxation but you would use the stepped-up basis to report the sale on your 8949 (and Schedule D).   You also need to report your share of the income (ordinary and otherwise) from the K-1 during the period following the death of the decedent through the date of the sale. Further, the decedent's share (prior to passing) as reflected on the K-1 needs to be reported on the final return, although you might be able to get away with reporting all of it on your return since K-1s are generally considered to be based on the end of the tax year stated on that Schedule.    It should be noted that, for the most part, any suspended losses (passive losses) do not carry over to you and are simply lost pretty much forever in these scenarios.   I am sorry for your loss.

If you have no W-2s to add in TurboTax Online, you can skip that step by confirming you had no wage income. To skip the W-2 entry page: 1. On the W-2 entry screen under Income, select the option that says something like I didn’t work in 2025 or I have no W-2 to enter. 2. Continue to add other income types if applicable, or proceed with the rest of your return. If these steps don't work, try logging off and logging back into TurboTax, then attempt to skip the W-2 entry again.

It depends, when you are listed as a dependent on a Form 1095-A. It's required to include that form on at least one tax return for Premium Tax Credit reconciliation.   Usually, the 1095-A is reported by the parents who claim you. If the health insurance policy covers both you and your parents, the Premium Tax Credit might require allocation across separate returns.   To ensure IRS records are consistent, you should coordinate with your parents on how this is filed.   For more information visit this link.  

Your trucking business is considered self-employment. To report your expenses and income, Go to the 1099-NEC screen under Income in the Federal section and set up your business. Follow the interview and read each page (look for blue help links if you need to learn more) before you answer the questions.   If you don't agree with the Form 1099-NEC that you received, you need to contact the trucking company and have them issue a corrected form. The IRS receives a copy and will expect you to report the amount shown on that form.   Your truck lease payments are entered as a rent expense. Fuel and maintenance are also expected expenses for your business.   Additional Information: What self-employed expenses can I deduct?    

Yep...I have back to 2014 available too....all bought thru the TurboTax website, so any the earlier versions that did not come thru the actual TTX purchase site may not be showing for everyone. ...But.... Starting (I think) in 2019, you have to enter an installation code in order for the tax software to run.....and installation won't proceed past that point for 2021, 2020, and 2019 anymore.  So even if you get the 2021 software to download...you can't actually install it. ______________   I think I could probably install the 2018 or earlier versions from my TTX download list (not that I've tried), but might need to use "Compatibility Mode" for versions that came out before W11 existed  (and W10 came out in July of 2015).  

To get rid of the saver credit---go to the section for that credit and tell the software you were a student.  That will disqualify you for the credit and allow you to stay in Free Edition.   Federal>Deductions and Credits>Retirement and Investments>Retirement Savings Contribution Credit     Or—-Use this IRS site for other ways to file for free.  There are 8  free software versions available from the IRS Free File site   https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/  

 “Accepted” is not the same as “approved”.  TurboTax tells you the e-file was accepted if the IRS deems that there is enough information on the return for them to take it in for processing.   Only the IRS can approve of the refund, which is a later stage of processing.  If the IRS approves your refund they will provide a date for the refund to be issued.       Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities.  There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.   TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.      First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS.
