The IRS will have no way to know which box you marked.  That detail is not present in your filed tax return.  All that will be present is the deduction on Schedule 1.

Hello everyone, I really don't know how to proceed with my 2021 tax return. On my T4 slips I have a certain amount of CPP Contributions and when that amount is entered in the TurboTax software I get this message " You performed one or more overrides that have made your return ineligible for NETFILE. You must remove (cancel) these overrides in order to use NETFILE. If you choose not to remove them, you must send your return by mail."   Then I go to the forms that need to be changed (T1 General) and the box that was changed is the 44800 CPP or QPP overpayment. The initial calculated valued was 22.01 but I got a message on the software saying that I wasn't eligible for CPP due to being over the amount of time that I could claim it. When I decide to opt out of getting the CPP benefits I get the same message above. Should I just set the amount of CPP to 0 instead of putting the amount listed on my T4 slips from 2021?

My W2 includes an amount of $16.00 in Box 11 - Nonqualified plans. TurboTax is asking me to answer one of these options: Yes, I took this money out of my nonqualified or Section 457 plan. No, this is money I contributed to my nonqualified or Section 457 plan. I have no idea what this amount is. I don't have any nonqualified plans (that I'm aware of). So I don't know how to answer this question.  What do I do?

If he does not have custody more than half the nights of the year, he can't file HOH and must file single.  However, if she files HOH, her deductions (whether she uses itemized or standard) are not linked to her spouse.  Your son can file with whichever deduction method gives the least tax.

Ok - I logged in today and it seems that something was fixed with the software, but it still isn't correct. It is now not including my real estate/property taxes in my itemized deductions. This has been a mess! Can someone at least tell me how I can ignore what TurboTax is doing and manually complete the forms for filing? I can't even figure out how to do that on the Online version.

As @DianeW777 mentioned earlier, you can file your joint state return in TurboTax after e-filing the Federal return. See these articles for details:   How do I e-file my state return after I already filed federal? Can I file my federal taxes now and skip my state for later?   You could also use the state's website to file Wisconsin; however, you would need to use a PDF of your Federal return to get started and would need to take additional steps to complete it.   @soulwinner10

I put in an entry like you explained and I got the partial year depreciation. This is what I did, you can copy my steps and it may work for you:      - Edit your rental property entries    - On the screen that says Review your Rental Summary, choose Assets/Depreciation    - Go to the asset summary and edit the property you sold   - On the screen that says Tell us more about this rental asset -  indicate that the asset was sold, retired, stolen, etc...   - Enter the date sold and indicate the property was used 100% for business and enter the date put into service   - On the next screen confirm the prior depreciation (cost of asset/27.5 years divided by 12 times months rented)   - On the sales information screen I entered the sales proceeds and cost basis   - On the Results screen I got the correct partial year depreciation for the year of sale

j'essaie d'ajouter les infos et il me met un message d'erreur : Au 31 décembre 2025, vous ne pouviez pas être à la fois propriétaire et locataire ou sous-locataire de votre résidence principale. Entrez l'information pour une seule des options.   J'ai répondu OUI, OUI, NON à propos de l'habitation. Le numéro du logement semble correct et le nombre de locataire également.

Ohio has a complicated system of local and city taxes, including RITA tax.  If you live or work in a RITA area, you are subject to paying RITA.   If you work in a RITA area, your employer will withhold the necessary amount from your pay, but if you also live in a RITA area--which might be a different RITA area, you will need to file a return for the RITA area in which you live.   You can do that after you complete your state return with TurboTax or you can go to the RITA site and prepare and file from the RITA site I personally find it easier to use the RITA site.   Various RITA areas may have different tax rates.   RITA Web site:  http://www.ritaohio.com/     Of course----if you live and/or  work in OH you need to be certain of what kind of taxing locality you are in---you might be in something other than a RITA area....... http://www.tax.ohio.gov/Individual/LocalTaxInformation.aspx

I am in the same situation as some of the others who have asked this question or replied or asked further questions.   THIS IS A REAL FAILURE OF TURBOTAX. Turbotax has ALL of my taxpayer information to complete this section on foreign tax credit.   I have no qualified dividend income or capital gains.   My total foreign tax paid is only a little over $600 and the foreign dividend income is much larger.   I followed all the Turbotax basic instructions (including supplemental instructions)   on how to complete the Foreign Tax Credit.   I am giving up this year, will claim a deduction rather than a credit, and move my foreign mutual funds into IRAs.  Since I will take the standard deduction for 2025,  the inability to take a credit  will cost me $600+.
