If you transferred your EV tax credit of $7,500 to the dealer and your tax liability is less than $7,500, the excess is not subject to recapture from the buyer or the dealer. So no recapture is shown on your tax return.   See Question 4 of this IRS Q&A.   You still have to file form 8936 to report that you have transferred your credit to the dealer   To file form 8936, follow these steps:   Open your tax return in TurboTax Online Click on the Search button (magnifying glass icon) on the top right of your screen In the Search box, enter form 8936 and click on the magnifying glass icon In the search result box, click on My form 8936 TurboTax will take you directly to the page where you can start entering your form 8936.

The reason this increases the tax so much is, if you can't convince TurboTax that this is NOT self employment, then the program is going to add BOTH federal tax withholding and "payroll taxes" (FICA and Medicare).  It is the self-employment "payroll taxes" that make the difference -- these are, ordinarily, held out by an employer but are required to withhold for self-employed taxpayers.    AM Smith

That must be a 1099R for a pension or IRA withdrawal etc.   Enter a 1099R under Federal Taxes Wages & Income Then scroll way down to Retirement Plans and Social Security Then IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) – Click Start

First method works, second does not; no "My tax breaks" in pulldown. Furthermore the official TurboTax help (https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-payments/enter-estimated-tax-payments/L4g2XTu9Z_US_en_US) is entirely incorrect.    Took me an hour to do what previously took 10 minutes at most.

It depends. If by chance you made the wrong selections on your original entry, it may be the state is remembering those responses. My advice would be to delete the Form 1099-MISC and then re-enter using the steps below to eliminate self employment income all together.   Use the link below for your version of TurboTax to delete a form. If you're using TurboTax Online software and need to delete a form, click here. If you're using TurboTax Desktop software and need to delete a form, click here. Close your return and try clearing the cookies and cache.   It handles many issues that seem nonsensical on a regular basis with online activity.

How to clear your cache Once this is complete open your return and try again.  If you are using TurboTax Desktop, save your return, then at the top select Online, then Check for updates.   It's important that you made the appropriate selections so that TurboTax does know that it was not self employment income. Open your TurboTax Online/Mobile or TurboTax Desktop tax return Search (upper right) > type 1099misc > click the Jump to... link Begin your entry of the 1099-MISC It's important for you to select 'None of these apply" and then you should also select the following: 'No' on the screen 'Did the '____' involve work that's like your main job?' 'No' on the screen 'Did the '____'  involve an intent to earn money?'  This will report the income without any business activity and it will show up on Form 1040, Line 8 (From Schedule 1, Line 8z).

Your instructions didn't work. I have two profiles in my Intuit Account, personal and business, each with its own email address. I want to delete the business profile, but when I follow the steps you provided, I am not given a choice of which of my profiles to delete. Instead, the Deletion page automatically selects my personal tax profile which I do NOT want to delete.    HOW DO I DELETE ONLY THE BUSINESS PROFILE I CREATED?

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS/State releases your refund.    The IRS states that most federal tax refunds are issued within 21 days of acceptance, however, some may take longer if they require additional review. Also, by law, the IRS cannot issue EITC or ACTC refunds before mid-February. This applies to your entire refund, not just the portion related to those specific credits.   Here are a few FAQs to help you track your refund: When will I get my federal tax refund? How do I track my state refund? Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"? Why do some refunds take longer than others? What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

Hi,   For me, I did the following:   1. Downloaded the desktop version from the amend section in the tax home tab on TT Online.   2. When I installed the TT desktop, it asked me to import tax by connecting to TT online ( I am assuming you must have filed with TT last year too?)   3. After that, it realized it needs to download certain forms based on your tax return.   4. Once you do that, it should just use your tax document and I think next tab should show why you are using this (e.g.for amend, for something else).   5. When you do that, it should make the tax due on top to 0. Any changes you make should reflect the state and federal tax accordingly.   NOTE: Every year would have a different TT desktop version so for 2024 you need to have that one. Thats why I downloaded it how step1 mentions.      

When you entered the information from your K1 into the system there were extra spaces to enter the information from 14 I.  Go back to where you entered the K-1 and scroll through to the final entries section.     After you have entered the amount from box 14 I the system will say "We see you have section 199A income".  You need to answer the question there about whether some or all of the income on the trust K1 came from a business (if you have section 199A income then it is business income).     Once you have answered those questions then you should be able to clear the error.  The answers about the business should be available as attachments from your K1 or by contacting the trustee.

Form 1042-S ("Foreign Person's U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding") is an IRS tax document used to report income paid to non-resident aliens, such as fellowships, scholarships, or treaty-exempt wages.
