When importing data from banks etc, there is what I think a final screen that says connection establish and then says please verify info below. By mistake I clicked  Block instead of allow first time I saw it.  When I try again the two buttons block and allow are missing and you get hung on screen (form) and can only get out by clicking on upper right x. It says that if those buttons are missing, it is ok. I have let it sit there for multiple minutes and nothing happens. It is stuck!   I think a bug perhaps not in code but in data used for form.   I really need this fixed since I have large amount of data to import from a broker,   Thanks Stig W [email address removed] [phone number removed]

You will need to enter each sale as a separate transaction even if you sold and then bought the same stock 100 times.  Each sale is it's own individual deal and the price that you paid each time is the basis when you go on to sell it.

You have to indicate that the dependent is disabled if the are age 19 or older. Click on My Info on the left side of the online program screen and check all of your answers for the dependent.   Make sure you select them as your Child, that you selected that they lived in your home for the Whole Year, temporary absence for education is deemed living in your home. That they did NOT provide over one-half of their own support (You Did), that you indicated there was no one else in the household providing support to them, and that you did NOT check the box labeled Not valid for employment in the Social Security number section.   If all your answers are correct then delete them as a dependent and re-enter.

Bonjour, Je ne comprends pas tout à fait votre explication. Serait-il possible de clarifier s'il-vous-plaît?  1. Est-ce que la colonne TVH correspond à la TVQ pour le Québec? 2. Disons, par exemple, que en comptant mes factures, j'ai des frais annuels de ''Chauffage, électricité et eau'' de 1500$ au total, de quelle façon dois-je remplir le formulaire? Est-ce que je dois décortiquer le montant comme suit: 65.23$ dans la colonne ''Assujettissement à la TPS'', 130.13$ dans la colonne ''Assujettissement à la TVH'' (TVQ?) et 1304.63$ avant taxes dans la colonne ''Détaxation et exonération''? (Voir l'image ci-dessous qui utilise la Calculatrice de TPS/TVH de l'ARC à titre de référence.) Indiquer seulement les taxes payées sur le montant total (65.23$ TPS et 130.13$ TVH (TVQ))? Ou écrire 1500$ (montant incluant les taxes) dans la colonne ''Assujettissement à la TPS'', car j'ai payé de la TPS dessus? Je vous remercie à l'avance,

I duplicated what you explained and the program generated two form 7206's and deducted the total health insurance. I suggest you revisit your K-1 entries and on the screen that says Self-employed health insurance, make sure you entered Medicare wages that were equal to or more than the health insurance premiums paid. 

   Form 709 is not ever part of an income tax return.   TurboTax provides software and forms for income tax returns, not for other kind of taxes or  forms that are not part of an income tax return.     Gifts given to family members, friends or other individuals are not deductible.   Gifts received are not taxable to the person who received the gift, and are not entered on a tax return.   If your gift exceeds the yearly limit ($19,000 per individual)  imposed by the gift tax rules, then you will need to complete a Form 709 gift tax form and send it to the IRS, although it is very unlikely that you will owe any tax.   TurboTax does not support Form 709.  It is not an income tax form and would not be included as part of an income tax return.   Here is a link to the form: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f709.pdf   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/estates/the-gift-tax-made-simple/L5tGWVC8N     Here's a link for Form 709 preparation software:  https://www.puritas-springs.com/product-category/federal   Here are some useful videos on the Form:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5wJow5h-No   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z_28sVOrTY     @user17748952465

I agree with the other reply here that says you'll need to probably depreciate it. And unfortunately, HVAC equipment is depreciated on the same schedule as things like the structure of the property, which is 27.5 years for a long-term rental or 39 years for a short-term rental.   That's unfortunate since the equipment doesn't even usually last that long, but that is what it is.    If it's a short-term rental, there is an exception where HVAC equipment can qualify for Section 179 to deduct it all in the current year.  A rental with an average stay of 30 days or less for the year qualifies as non-residential for purposes of this part of the tax code, so it qualifies for section 179.  That's rarely understood or used for short-term rentals, but it is a valid option if the rental qualifies. 

Yes, you are correct. It's called the 'Tax Benefit Rule'. You may have a portion of your state tax refund that is not taxable.  You can use the worksheet in IRS Publication 525 to determine the amount, if any, of our recovery of your state taxes is taxable for 2025.  If you click the link it will take you directly to the worksheet to determine your taxable amount. IRS Publication 525-Worksheet 2: Recoveries of Itemized Deductions This will give you a way to calculate the amount and keep the worksheet in your tax file.  @Martiroy60
