This could be entered in the other misc. income section of TurboTax.  As long as the income wasn't from a business operation that you had or started, and it was just random income you generated during the year that you don't expect to get paid again in the future.

Follow these steps to the entry of partnership income from a K-1.  Perhaps there is an entry there.  Follow these directions.   Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal. Down the left side of the screen, click on Wages and Income. Scroll down to S-corps, Partnerships and Trusts and click the down arrow to the right. Click Start / Revisit or Edit / Add to the right of Schedule K-1. At the screen Tell us about your Schedules K-1, click to the right of Partnerships/LLC. If there is a partnership entered, click the Delete trashcan to the right.

@RandomTaxPayer  IF you are using the "Online" software   Get back into your tax file,   use the "Add  A State" selection.  (you won't have to add a state) Then go to the Print Center  on the left side and save a  new PDF with all the tax forms and worksheets.   Look in that new PDF for the sheet that has the Federal Electronic Filing Instructions on it.   Your payment details should be listed there....IF..if you actually set it up properly. ________________ Don't be tempted to mess around in your actual tax file other than creating a new PDF. ____________________________  

Enter an expense line item for the same amount as the 1099-NEC to offset the income.  Lemon law settlements are generally not taxable when they simply refund the purchase price or replace a vehicle, as this is considered being "made whole". However, portions of a settlement covering punitive damages, civil penalties, interest, or compensation for lost wages are considered taxable income.

I tried filing this online using that link, but the extension was rejected by the IRS!  Error message: "Taxpayer TIN in the Return Header must not be the same as a TIN of a previously accepted electronic return for the return type and tax period indicated in the tax return."  But I haven't filed anything this year. So something is wrong with TurboTax. I had to call the IRS, they couldn't figure it out, they think it's TurboTax fault, and the IRS guy said, just print out the extension  form and mail it in .  Big Hassle!

Good morning.   Thank you for your response. I have a few follow up questions. Know that I need as many details as possible. LOL   What am I supposed to do?  Here is what I know:  My son is 25 and is in college full time.  He lives with me and I provide for him I claimed him on my taxes. He had a summer job and made about $4,900 On my son's return I made the mistake of saying no one was claiming him but I did.  My tax return was submitted and accepted. IRS rejected his return because I said no one was claiming him. My oversight. My son does not owe taxes but is set to receive a refund.  My questions are as follows:   You advised: the information about you and your dependents is in the Personal Info tab.   My question:  Is this correction made on MY return or my SON's return?    You advised: Go to that tab and click Continue, and you will see section for your dependent on their return to review the questions again and make any needed changes.   My questions:  What exactly is the correction? On my return he is my dependent. On his return I said that no one claimed him. I do not see where I can change the statement on his return that no one is claiming him to someone else is claiming him.    What needs to be changed? How do I proceed? I hope this is clarifies my confusion. I appreciate your help. I am anxious and want to get this resolved as soon as I can.    thank you!    

No worries. If you scheduled the payment for April 15th and your return was accepted, the IRS considers the payment "on time" even if the actual bank debit doesn't happen until the 17th or 18th.   To verify that you entered the payment details correctly, you need to check your Federal Information Worksheet. This form is not printed in your return that is sent to the IRS but it is a worksheet in your return. Here is how to check it after you filed your return.   If you used TurboTax Online and filed, here is how to access the form.    Log into your TurboTax account Wehn you reach the landing page showing that the return is accepted, scroll to the bottom and select "Add a State" Go to tax tools>Print Center Select 2025 Federal return When the Drop-down appears, select Include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional) Now search for your Federal Information Worksheet. This may take a lot of searching. Once there, look for Part V ' Direct Deposit or Direct Debit Information All the information should be there. If it is, the IRS also has this information.     

Things you can try are:   Select Resend verification code to request another code. Make sure you leave the TurboTax window open, as closing it will invalidate the code. Open another tab or window or use a different browser to check your email for the code. If you're using a mobile device, it's okay to open your email app or another tab in your browser. Just keep TurboTax open in the background and return when you've got your code. If you still have issues, you can contact us.   What if I'm having trouble with my filing verification code?

It depends. The following information will help you know which income items to include in your local return. It sounds like your locality is looking for only the earned income.    It helps to think of earned income as money you work for, as opposed to passive income like interest, dividends, or rental income if you're not in the business of renting out home properties.     The IRS defines earned income as: Taxable income you earned as an employee, such as wages, salaries, commissions, and tips Profits from operating your business or farm Long-term disability pay, if received before the minimum retirement age Union strike benefits The IRS also gives you the option of treating nontaxable combat pay (code Q in box 12 of your W-2) as earned income for the Earned Income Credit (EIC).   The IRS defines unearned income as: Taxable income from investment-type income such as taxable interest, ordinary dividends, and capital gain distributions.  It also includes unemployment compensation, taxable social security benefits, pensions, annuities, cancellation of debt, and distributions of unearned income from a trust.

This is still happening in 2026. You are not alone and this is a Turbo Tax problem NOT a you problem. I filed last year for 2024, even went to the very END of the process. (Judging by where I found the program when I checked) I received the email & text messages stating that my return had been pending then accepted. IRS got paid $172 direct debit from my account. Now when I tried to file for 2025 it would not accept the AGI from 2024, I tried half a dozen times. I went to the IRS website for a transcript and THAT'S how I found out that TT didn't efile for me. This seems to be happening to more and more people and TT is just trying to sweap it under the rug by claiming that people made a mistake.

The is a public forum.  Please remove your phone number.   No one from this user community forum can call you.   Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.

No, Native Americans who live and work on their reservation in Nebraska are generally not subject to Nebraska state income taxes. The reservation is treated similarly to another state, meaning they are considered nonresidents for state tax purposes, provided their income is derived from sources within the reservation. See Taxation of Native Americans Living on an Indian Reservation.

@washingtontaylorj00    A few hundred wouldn't be unusual. ...BUT... The main thing you should do is "edit" every tax form you entered into the software, to make sure all the $$ entries are in the correct boxes on each and every form.   Especially if you uploaded a picture or PDF of your W-2....that type of loading can result in errors of the $$ entered in some boxes...thus re-checking the values in every box on your tax form is critical.
