1099-NEC entry for lease payments

Leadball44 — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 17:35:14 GMT

I received a 1099-NEC for a lease payment on a piece of property that I have an undivided interest in. This was a purely passive activity for me and normally I would expect this sort of thing to map into schedule E. However, I am having a hard time figuring how to do this in the Turbo Tax desktop interface. 1099-NEC entry classification does not give a suitable/accurate choice (self employment, farm income, hobby, lawsuit, Medicaid waiver, Income that should have been on W2. All don't apply). This is not self-employment nor a hobby. This is lease income on raw land to a company looking to potentially develop it for minerals. We do not actively participate in a business to do this and provide no services to the lessee except legal access to the property. Maybe the issuer of the 1099 made a mistake, but how do I enter it correctly in the TurboTax interface?

The second W-2 indicates non-taxable disability payments.

Box 12a Code J is (non-taxable sick pay), and
Box 14 (VDI) This income is not taxable.
You likely don't have to enter this W-2 into your tax return, as no taxable income is reported.
Or you can include it on the original W-2

Re: When I try to continue a return, TurboTax does not respond

MarilynG1 — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 17:30:02 GMT

Are you able to use TurboTax after re-installing? It may not always ask for the activation code.

Common Reasons for Missing Activation Prompt

Automatic Activation: If you downloaded the software from your Intuit Account, it may be linked automatically.
Existing License File: A previously installed version's license file still exists, eliminating the need to re-enter it.

I added a credit card to itemize expenses. Can I also add my bank account. How do I add a bank account and another credit card for itemizing expenses?

What to include in when mailing in return due to unsupported form 7217

ML2026 — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 17:29:09 GMT

Unfortunately I need to mail both my federal and CA tax returns because Turbo Tax does not support Form 7217 (Argh!).

What do I need to include in both the federal and CA packet?

Do I need to include the K-1s I received - this is the main reason I need to file form 7217?

Do I need to include form 7217 in my CA return?

Turbo Tax says I only need to include my W-2 in addition to the forms the software generates. ChatGPT says I need to include all K-1s. Which is correct?

Also it would be great to add support for form 7217 so many of us don't have to go through this hassle next year.

Re: How can I file an extension

An extension gives you extra time to prepare your tax return. It does not give you extra time to pay if you owe tax. Your estimated tax due must be paid by April 15, 2026.

Re: Part of 2025 RMD was deposited in 01/2026

ReneV4 — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 17:27:07 GMT

The physical year printed on the Form 1099-R is the guide. If the form says 2025, you must enter it on your 2025 tax return following the steps you took when entering your other 1099-R for $12,000, even if the cash arrived in January. However, if the form says 2026, you do not enter it on your 2025 tax return. You will save it for next year's taxes and follow the steps above.

Re: there is no prior year AMT tax credit(form 8801) in deduction& credit - other credit section ...

MarilynG1 — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 17:24:51 GMT

If you paid alternative minimum tax (AMT) in the past, you might be able to claim a credit on your 2025 return. You qualify only if you paid AMT in a prior year because of timing items. The most common are:

- Depreciation
- Incentive stock options
- Intangible drilling costs connected with an oil or gas activity

If you transferred your 2024 return, the credit should calculate automatically for you if your 2024 return contained Forms 6251 or 8801. Go go Deductions & Credits > Estimates & Other Taxes Paid > Credit for AMT Paid in Prior Year and enter info from your prior year return to calculate the credit.

Here's more info on Form 8801for AMT Credit.

Filing W2 : My wife on maternity received a 2nd w2 with box 1 empty, Box 14 filled :VDI box filled

towshif — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 17:25:24 GMT

Hi All,

I am filing jointly with my wife - we had a kid last year. My wife was on maternity leave received a 2nd w2 with Box 1 empty and only

Box 14 (Other) : VDI $XXXX
Box 12a : J
and not other box has any dollar amount. This is from my medical insurance company for voluntary disability insurance.

So do I need to file this with my taxes. Issue I have is that Turbo tax software says if box 1 is empty I need to paper file it. Any guidance is highly appreciated.

thanks

Re: Blank printed pages on Mac

MonikaK1 — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 17:23:11 GMT

I would recommend printing to PDF first. I have been able to print PDFs of forms using my Mac with no problem.

From the top menu bar, select File then Print.
In the pop up window, select whether you want to print tax return only, Federal, State or both, forms and worksheets, etc.
Click Continue.
When the print preview screen pops up, select a range of pages or all pages
Select PDF then Save as PDF or Open in Preview, etc.

Once you have the documents saved to PDF, try test printing pages to your printer.

Re: 561nr what is the gain or loss exclude box not checked

DawnC — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 17:23:04 GMT

Assuming your are asking about Oklahoma 561 for nonresidents, the box is checked if the gain or loss is excluded. Individual taxpayers can deduct qualifying gains receiving capital gain treatment that are included in Federal adjusted gross income. See General Information for Form 561

I don't have any ISO exercise and Hold, but in final Federal Review, Turbotax keeps giving it for my to-do. how do I avoid it?

Re: Pull Form 1116 from previous year?

mark_wr — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 17:19:45 GMT

I'm have the exact same problem. I have checked the box you've shown to "file Form 1116 even if not required", and it still does not go to the PDF. Every prior year this has worked fine. Below is an image from my 2024 return (showing the page with year detail). It shows $793 for "6th Preceding Tax Year", so for 2025 return it would be $793 for "7th Preceding Tax Year". I can see the form and it's worksheet in TurboTax and it confirms the $793 amount from 2018. I can "print" both of those forms to a PDF file. Interestingly neither includes the Schedule B (Form 1116) page I'm showing you from last year (there are a total of 4 pages relating to 1116 filed in my preceding returns). What else should I try? Thanks.
