I have the same issue that it did not transfer the loss carryover from last year. Using TurboTax business Desktop for a TRUST. I had to enter it thru the Forms using Schedule NJ-BUS-2 Part I Line 5  which is           Loss Carryforward From Tax Year 2024 The form is called "New Jersey Gross Income Tax Alternative Business Calculatiion Adjustment" The loss were from last years NJ-BUS-2, not from a schedule D      

In TurboTax Online, to report report an IRS form 1099-MISC as prize or incentive income, follow these steps:   Down the left side of the screen, click Federal. Down the left side of the screen, click Wages & Income. Click the down arrow to the right of Other Common Income. Click the right of Form 1099-MISC. At the screen Did you get a 1099-MISC, click Yes. At the screen Let's enter the income from your 1099-MISC, enter the information.  Click Continue. At the screen Do one of these uncommon situations apply, select This was prize winnings. The entry will be reported:   on line 8i of Schedule 1 of the Federal 1040 tax return, and  on line 8 of the Federal 1040 tax return.

@pk, I think the issue is that I am using the online version and not the desktop software version. It is not giving me an option to input my own 1099-R. When I say I don't have a 1099-R it takes me out of inputing a pension income.

You don't need to get around the "number of days" prompt in TurboTax, you should enter the actual number of nights the child stayed with you (even if it is less than 183) and then look for the follow-up question asking if you have a written agreement or Form 8332 from the custodial parent.    Because the IRS defines the custodial parent strictly by physical residency, entering 183 or more days when you are the noncustodial parent could incorrectly trigger credits you aren't eligible for, like the Earned Income Tax Credit, which often leads to an audit. Instead, by accurately reporting the lower number of days and selecting the option that the custodial parent is releasing the claim to you, TurboTax will correctly apply the Child Tax Credit to your return while generating the necessary Form 8453 to be mailed with the signed Form 8332.

Yes, you would select 1099-R.   You must make sure that the marking (or not) of the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box on TurboTax's 1099-R form matches that of the form provided by the payer.  Since an IRA is not permitted to contain life insurance, a Form 1099-R for a distribution from a life insurance policy cannot have the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box marked.
