Adjustments to the income or loss reported on your Federal Schedule K-1 are made in the State return interview. Look for a page about things your state does differently. Or a topic for Business Income or even K-1s. Work through those topics to find an entry that allows you to adjust the federal amount to match the figure reported on the state K-1.

It depends. First any distribution from an inherited traditional IRA or a Roth IRA would be reported on Form 1099-R and not Form 1099-B. If I assume you actually sold inherited assets outside of either IRAs then it would be a sale of inherited investments. Walk through the steps shown later to enter any sale of inherited investments.   First, if you have only a 1099-B (not a Form 1099-R) you should delete the form and re-enter.    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.

Non-cash charitable contributions reported on IRS form 8283 may be listed these broad categories, such as:   home gym items, electronic items, television, and clothing. This would make it easier to separately report the costs, dates and valuations and methods of valuation for each category.    

Even though the process for getting a refund of federal and state filing fees is generally the same, both refunds come from two separate entities, so it isn't possible to coordinate their arrival together. Although your fees were already paid through your state refund, your federal refund might still go through the third-party bank before arriving in your account.    Note that your refund doesn't go through TurboTax. When the IRS processes your return, it'll send your refund directly to your bank account or via mail, typically within 21 days.    Please, keep tracking your refund in the link below: Where's my Refund  

Washington state does not have an income tax, therefore TurboTax does not have a Washington state return option.    It does appear that WA has recently adopted legislation to put a tax on those with income over $1,000,000, but this would not be in effect for 2025. 

You don't enter these directly on the forms. When you go through the TurboTax interview in the program, there is a question that is asked if you have any of these qualified energy efficiency improvements in 2025. When you select "yes" you would report them here.

The steps that AnnetteB6 provided above work for TurboTax Online. If you are using Desktop, the fix for that is still being implemented. Hopefully we have an estimated date soon.   @user17753181283  @goldeninla 

If you need to submit a payment to the state, make your check or money order to your state's Department of Revenue. When you print your return, TurboTax will include the mailing address and instructions on how to mail your return.   You could also choose to make a payment online at your state's Department of Revenue website.    

You actually will still get a 1099-R in 2027 for the 2026 tax year.  But since it has already been reported on the 2025 tax return you will be able to ignore that 1099-R when you receive it.   @tanchoco
