I am in agreement that the steps necessary are complicated/convoluted. I determined the correct numbers via a spreadsheet and then jury rigged the percentages on the schedule E worksheets (two) for the same property with different titles and the asset entry worksheet in order to generate the correct numbers for both schedule E's.  I have been able to produce matching numbers except for the mortgage interest and property taxes allocable to schedule A. It may be moot on schedule A if we just take the standard deduction tbd. It was so much easier to produce the numbers on a spreadsheet than using Turbo Tax.  I'm going to take a break as I now have a headache.

Yeah, they DON'T care but the rationale is valid; the company has insufficient profits from the product to dedicate resources to the product.   I really don't understand why people don't get it. If it cost you $500 per day for you to get to work and that job paid you $400 per day would you still go?

Not with online, you have to go through the interview process. Now for the big surprise. Turbotax does not use it for anything. if you didn't enter the info, nothing would change on your return. the same for section J and the liability section K

Thank you, Cantina!   I'm still trying to figure out if I took actual expenses or standard mileage last year, my first year to put a 2014 Honda into service.    •  Since 2024 shows depreciation for that car, does that mean that I entered the actual expenses and not the standard mileage for last year? (I should know this but I have struggled to figure it out looking at the taxes.)  

You don't need one - you just need to know how much you earned.    There is an income field on the Schedule C where you can put cash, check and other income not on a tax form.      How do I report cash income on Schedule C?

@dwk20  To enter, edit or delete estimated taxes paid (Federal, State, Local) - Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business) Click on Deductions and Credits Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid On Estimated Tax Payments, click on the start or update button  

Oh, I see, you use the web version. I use a desktop home & business version. I just saw another thread, and it looks like it is missing on my version, but the suggestion was to enter it under "Estimated Tax Payment".   Thank you so much for helping!
