Sadly, after many years I will not be using Turbotax again. All businesses are there to make money but when a service business is actively gaming you to get much money as they can from you then they are no longer serving you. A tax software should do the heavy lifting, not ask you questions it already has the answers to because it has last years tax info already loaded: like what was last years tax refund or whether you took the standard deduction or not. The original purpose of tax prep software was so that you could do your own taxes cheaply and not pay an accountant or tax preparer.  Now Turbotax is pushing you to pay extra for their tax preparer even though you bought the tax prep software so you would not need to do that!!  Why would you pay that extra? If the tax prep software was so unhelpful and confusing that you could not do your taxes on your own-which is what tax prep software is supposed to to enable you to do!  Intuit has essentially made their product useless.

You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return. If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again. If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 12 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk

During the interview for Alabama, you'll be asked if you worked in Alabama.  Even though the answer is "No", answer "Yes." This way you'll be able to prepare a non-resident return. You will just need to make sure you have allocated $0 in wages to Alabama, so you will get a full refund of the withholding.
Yes, if the DST holds more than one property, you're best advised to use a Schedule E for each one.
Is it possible to see what numbers go into the figure for Line 9b on Form 8960? My State Deductions were $2500, and my Indiana Exemptions were $7,000 in 2024, if this matters.
Nice graphic.
That's right because your son would take your basis for the equipment including accumulated depreciation.

Since for the first time under the OBTB we owed federal, I created 2 additional returns in my desktop version to see if it was better for us to file married filing separately.  The result was worse.  I want to delete those returns from my desktop version but can't find an option.  I called Turbo Tax support.  The rep told me to try going to forms view in each return and delete forms there.  However, the forms reappeared and the return is still there when you go to the main screen in Turbo Tax Desktop as a return to continue.     Is it possible to delete these so I don't accidentally use them?  I also tried the old right click over the box to try to pop up a window box.  No luck was there.   I am using Turbo Tax Desktop Deluxe in Windows. Thank you!

I have a similar issue, that maybe you can help me with.  On an IL 1040, I have 2 K-1-Ps that should be attached, but only one of them is showing up in the PDF of my return.  The IL instructions says that all K-1-Ps should be attached.  The one that is attached has an IL subtraction, while the other does not. Is there a way for me to attach both to my efile?  Is the K-1-P with no additions or subtractions supposed to be attached? Thank you.

@jmorrow338 , trying to understand your situation -- generally, your should 1040, forms 2555, Schedule-C ( for self-employment ) possibly Schedule-SE and as long as you AGI is positive/non-zero, you should be good     to e-file.  Did you look at all the forms list ? Can you tell me  ? You did say that you meet the Physical Presence Test --yes ?   If you used bona-fide Resident, then that needs IRS approval and therefore may require  file-by-mail.     I will await for any info you can share --yes ?
