Hey there! For context, my partner and I are filing together as common-law. We both do different work from home (using different dedicated rooms) and split rent, hydro, water, and internet, but have our own independent phone plans. On TurboTax, under home expenses, it says: "Enter the total amounts for your home in 2025, and we’ll calculate the business portion." We're wondering: does "total amount" here mean that we input 100% of our annual bills for rent, hydro, water, internet, and phone? For example, if our total rent for the year equals $20,000, would we both input $20,000? Or would we individually input $10,000 to collectively equal our total annual bill for rent? Just confused by the vague Turbotax wording here.   Regarding our phone & internet bills (which we use both for personal and business use): would we each enter our annual phone & internet bills (at 100%), assuming that Turbotax will calculate the appropriate "business %" for us based on our total square footage of home office space? Or would it be more accurate to first establish personal usage percentage (50%) vs. business usage percentage (50%), inputting only the "total amount" for our business usage percentage?  Trying to figure out the nuance here. Thanks so much for any insight!

I transmitted it 10pm Eastern time 4/15, transmit date/time was 4/15 at 7pm.  I got a federal acceptance on 4/15, but the NY state one was accepted on 4/16.   I logged into my NY tax account and it says the filed date is 4/16.  What?   What is the point of submitted it electronically if it's not considered filed when I transmit it?  If I print it and take it to the post office I will get a postmark on 4/15 and that will be considered the filed date.   If the filed date is actually the date we get the 'return accepted' email, you need to make that clear.

My wife and I own a rental property as 50/50 co-ownership. I do the maintenance and travel to/from the rental.  I just want to enter mileage travelled to/from my rental property but can't seem to locate where/how to enter this. I'm using Premier. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
