Bonjour! J'ai fait la mise à jour aujourd'hui 2 avril. Le montant des revenus de travailleur autonome ne s'inscrit pas dans le TP-80 ligne 110. Quand je l'inscris à la main, on me dit que je ne pourrai pas utiliser Impotnet.  Est-ce que ce sera réglé?

If a Rental (100% business use) was taken off market to sell, and rental activities (and therefor depreciation) stopped, but property did not sell for a long time, and the assets (had they had been depreciated) would have eventually zeroed out on the books during the time the property was for sale, how should that be handled when property is finally sold?   Example: 1/1/2000 - House purchased:  $100,000 1/1/2009 - Asset (Back Deck) Acquired:  $10,000 1/1/2023 - Rental activity (and depreciation) ceases as property is listed for sale, (Deck is still on books.) 1/1/2024 - Property still for sale, however, deck would have fallen off books, (due to 15 year life) 1/1/2025 - House finally sells:  $200,000   I am thinking the recapture on deck would be left off the sale entirely as any depreciation recapture would be negated because of the age of the deck. Is that correct? - Not owner occupied/lived in  -   Thank you!

No. The IRS says if the entire Q was used for room and board and education expenses, it should not be entered.  You do not need to upgrade since you don't need to enter the form. You should keep it with your tax files along with your proof that the expenses were covered. IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education states that nontaxable distributions should not be entered.

Yes, I called Turbo Tax four times until someone was informed of the issue at hand. Apparently there is a glitch in the recent update of QBSE. I have used this program for over 10 years but now you must pay for the filing and they will reimburse you with a check for $188 in approximately 5 weeks. Also, the code that was once provided, no longer works with the recent update. Hope this answer will help others with this issue.

The 5329 goes with the year the RMD was missed. If you forgot to take it in 2025, it can go with this return. You should request the missed RMD and tell the broker to correctly identify that it is not part of this year's RMD. You need to have made the correction before you file the form 5329. Since you get the money in 2026, you will add it to next year's return.   I recommend you mail the 5329 separately. Use the correct year (missed RMD), mail certified with no signature required.

Thanx to a TurboTax Expert Engineer, several users found a way to correct their Foreign Tax Credit allocation from Sched A to Form 1116.  However, it is virtually impossible to locate where the choice was made or to determine how to change your selection within TurboTax.  An arbitrary choice of YES or NO to a seemingly unrelated question - Do you want to review your choice? - seems to change the Foreign Credit allocation you had already confirmed.  To fix, you have to re-answer all the FC questions, then answer NO to retain the choice. It's not possible for the choice to be determined by having the Form 1116 choice stated on Sched A - the foreign tax is still entered as a Sched A item.  U.S. tax forms are complicated, but this is the first year that the TurboTax interface was obscure enough that my sometimes misguided choices were unfixable within an instance of the Desktop product. The only fix was a completely new tax form, whose entries I carefully compared with a PDF of the corrupted tax return. Sharon

Luckily, I checked. Easiest fix -- ignore TurboTax and go to the NYS tax website and print out the form directly. New York State wants us to file electronically. The address provided by TurboTax is for mailed check and MAILED return. NYS provides two different (DIFFERENT!!!) addresses -- one for mailed check and mailed return and the other for mailed check and ELECTRONICALLY filed. Since their software is wrong, I assume TurboTax is liable if there is a problem -- but -- I don't know

I am a student and have a 1099-Q distribution but it's all being used for qualified education expenses. How do I still use the free edition? I'm trying to input the 1099-Q but it wants me to upgrade to the deluxe edition.
I have about 3 maybe 4 years I didn’t file

Hi, Thanks for your reply... sorry for my tardiness. I am manually entering my data into Desktop version of 2025 Turbotax, and erred in my question, I have nothing in 1099-OID Box 5. My 1099-OID has a $ amount in Box 11- Tax-exempt OID, and the same $ amount in Box 6- Acquisition premium. Turbotax puts the same $ amount into the space, Total Tax-Exempt interest.   I assume that's all that's needed as Turbotax is now showing $0 for 1099-OID Summary.   Thanks again! John

I cannot post a question --- I sign in and it takes me to the front page with the smiling lady. FYI --- NEW YORK STATE IT-201-V ---  Turbo Tax form IS INCOMPLETE -- IF you are electronically filing and mailing a check - the ADDRESS PROVIDED BY TURBOTAX IS WRONG.  Luckily, I checked.  It is the address for mailed check and MAILED taxes.   Please -- someone figure out how to post this to help others. SO many software problems this year and no way to tell anyone

@Mitzy20    It depends on what other boxes that the interest income is listed on.   If that 1099-INT contains box 8 (&box 13) $$, but neither box 1 nor box 3 $$, then the accrued interest you paid when buying that tax-exempt bond, it can only be seen in the total value showing on line 2a of your form 1040.....the sum of all your tax-exempt $$ minus that accrued interest.   IF box 1 or box 3 $$ are involved with that accrued interest, then the deduction should show up in the Schedule B, PART I , Line 1 table. ___________________ note also, that any time you do pay accrued interest for any bonds you buy during the year, then, in the TTX software...you must break out the bond interest type into it's own 1099-INT before declaring the accrued interest you paid when buying that bond type.   But that may be what you are already doing.

We are active duty military and sold our former primary residence that we had rented out due to a change in duty station.  I entered all of the information and desktop turbo tax Home and Business 2025 tells me our gain is not taxable but it is being taxed on Schedule D and I do not know why and how to fix it so it is not taxed.

Thanks for replying, @AmyC .  I am in interview mode.  After verifying my info and that I'm a non-resident, I'm asked who has NY sourced income and I answer "both of us."  I say no to all of the wages / income earned in NY state.  Then I'm asked if I have NY state wages to report.  If I say "yes" then I get two boxes to fill-in: "Employer" and "New York State Wages."  I decided to click Continue after this, and then I was asked the Allocation Method.   That is totally backwards - Turbotax should ask me how I want to allocate and do the calculation based on the W-2.  I feel like this was how things worked in the past, but maybe I'm mistaken.  Very frustrating.

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.    You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed. This means waiting until the payment submitted with the tax return has been processed, or your refund has been received. You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return. Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected. You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
