Re: How do i file a 2024 tax return for the first time in Turbo Tax?

To file a 2024 return you will need to use the download version of TurboTax 2024. You cannot use the current year software to file a previous year return as the tax laws change from year to year.

You cannot change the tax year. The current online program is for 2025 only. Only a 2025 return can be prepared online and only a 2025 return can be e-filed.

Online preparation and e-filing for 2022, 2023, and 2024 is permanently closed.

Note: The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac. It cannot be used on a mobile device.

To file a return for a prior tax year

If you need to prepare a return for 2022, 2023, or 2024 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign, and mail the return(s)

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

Refunds for tax years 2021 or earlier have been forfeited and will not be paid to you even if shown on the tax return form. But if you owe tax due, you will still have to pay, and you will be billed later for the interest and penalties owed. TurboTax will not calculate the penalties or interest. That will be done by the IRS/state after they receive your return with your payment of the tax due as shown on the tax form(s).

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

Re: HOW DO YOU ENTER THE IEDC VCI TAX CREDIT

AnnetteB6 — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 19:22:25 GMT

Here are the steps to take to claim the Indiana Venture Capital Investment credit. This must be done using a TurboTax desktop version, not TurboTax Online.

Click Forms in the upper right corner.
If the Sch IN-OCC form is not shown in the list of forms in your return, then add it by clicking Open Form in the upper left corner and find Sch IN-OCC in the list under Indiana by clicking the +.
Once the Sch IN-OCC is open, scroll down to the VCI Credit Smart Worksheet to enter your information.
Enter the certification year, the total credit approved by IEDC on line F1, and any carryover credit from a prior year on line F6.

Those entries will take the credit to the appropriate tax forms automatically.

Re: Amending 2025 Arizona 140

Wedding5500 — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 16:41:52 GMT

@DawnC, thank you for replying.

Yes, I'm looking at my 140X Arizona Amended Return. It's filled out and has the "Itemized" box checked off on Line 34 Deductions. Although I didn't itemize on my Federal return, the Schedule A did flow through to my Arizona return as it should.

My issue is that I have no idea why TT now thinks the "2025 Form 140X - "Standard Deduction Increase for Charitable Contributions" worksheet should be filled out. As long as I'm itemizing, this form should never be filled out. It's only for taking an increase to a Standard Deduction.

My contributions are filled out on AZ forms:

301 - Nonrefundable Individual Tax Credits and Recapture for Forms 140, 140 PY, 140NR, and 140X

321 - Credit for Contributions to Qualifying Charitable Organizations (QCO) and,

322 - Credit for Contributions Made or Fees Paid to Public Schools

Re: Do I need to file a NY state tax return as a non-resident of NY?

Vanessa A — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 16:29:54 GMT

Yes, if the income from the other state took you above the filing threshold, then you would need to file a NY IT-203. The NY Adjusted gross income Federal amount is the amount that is reported on your federal return. This is the amount that determines if you have to file a NY tax return. If that amount is above $3,100 then you will need to file the IT-203.

Re: Amending 2025 Arizona 140

DawnC — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 16:06:43 GMT

Form 140X is the Arizona Amended Tax Return. Is there an additional form included in your return, or is the form titled incorrectly in the forms list.

Contributions must be listed on the federal Schedule A, and specific credit forms (Form 321 or Form 352) should be included to claim this deduction.

Re: inability to efile due to MO-TC

DawnC — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 15:44:56 GMT

Missouri Form MO-TC can be -filed in TurboTax. That form is for Miscellaneous Tax Credits. MO-TC credits

If you are not claiming any of the credits on the form, you can delete it.

Re: WI state tax, property tax credit not applying

CatinaT1 — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 14:49:54 GMT

This is a result of a major 2025 Wisconsin tax law change that forces you to choose between two benefits.

Starting with the 2025 tax year, Wisconsin introduced a $24,000 retirement income subtraction for individuals aged 67 or older. However, there is a "catch" built into the legislation: If you claim the $24,000 retirement income subtraction (on Schedule SB), you can't claiming the School Property Tax Credit, the Married Couple Credit, and several other state credits.

TurboTax is programmed to perform a "Best Interest" calculation. For most taxpayers, subtracting $24,000 from their taxable income saves significantly more money than taking a $300 credit off their tax bill.

If you or your spouse are 67 or older, TurboTax likely applied the $24,000 subtraction automatically because it resulted in a lower total tax.

Here's how you can verify this is what happened:

Go to Forms Mode.
In the list of forms on the left, find Schedule SB.
Look at Line 16 (Retirement Income Subtraction).
If there is a number there (like $24,000 or $48,000), that is why your Property Tax Credit is missing.
Also, check your WI Form 1, Line 17. If your "Tax from tax table" is already $0 because of the retirement subtraction, the property tax credit (which is non-refundable) would have nothing to offset anyway.

If you are using the online version you can sign into your account and select add a state.

In the desktop version, go back into your return, and select state, then add a state.

Deduction for property tax for business use of the home, and nj income tax property tax deduction

steve13 — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 13:04:43 GMT

This seems to be a bug in the TurboTax software: when I went through and took the business use of the home deduction for schedule C and the business portion of the property tax, and then went on to the state filing for New Jersey, TurboTax listed the entire property tax amount and if I'd hadn't caught it, I would have taken portion of that deduction twice. TurboTax really needs clear this up and fix this problem or many New Jersey business owners who use a portion of their home are going to take a double deduction without knowing it.

Do I need to file a NY state tax return as a non-resident of NY?

bpm25 — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 11:07:55 GMT

I did some work for a college located in New York state (not city) while taking courses there, and received a 1099-MISC. The amount was right below the 2025 standard deduction threshold of $3,100 for Single (and can be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer's federal return). However, I do have income from a different state that took my total gross income above the threshold. I am an undergraduate student and not a resident of NY. Also, no taxes were withheld on the 1099-MISC.

My understanding is that I only need to file a New York State tax return if I have "New York source income". However, I am confused about how the threshold for filing is determined ($3,100 in my case). Is it based on my total gross income, or "New York source income"? What's the definition of "New York adjusted gross income Federal amount column (Form IT-203, line 31)"?

Re: Confirmation of a State Tax e-file

VolvoGirl — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 04:35:07 GMT

And here's the emails I got back. Just the lines in my Thunderbird email program, not the actual emails. So if you didn't get an Accepted or Rejected email for state then you didn't finish filing state.

Re: Confirmation of a State Tax e-file

VolvoGirl — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 04:29:27 GMT

Looks like you used the Desktop program? Sounds like you didn't finish filing the state return after paying for the state efile. You do get separate accepted emails, one for federal and one for State.

And you can check the efile status directly in the Desktop program. Go up to File at the very top bar. Then Electronic Filing, then Check Status.

And you can go to Forms mode and find the Filing instructions for federal and state. And if you save the pdf it will have filing instructions page and my Calif return has an E-file return authorization page. There may be other ways to check too.

Your reply is correct for Federal Returns. There is NO similar confirmation process for STATE returns!

The letter, from ODT (Ohio Dept. of Taxation), explaining the adjustment, comes separately from the refund.

TurboTax receives no information about refunds. Contact your state agency if you don’t get a letter explaining the adjustment in a few weeks.

Re: I need help with adding 1040N-EB to my state tax return

DawnC — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 23:31:12 GMT

When you go through the state return, you can enter the information necessary for 1040N-EB on the screen titled Property Tax or other Nebraska Credits. Scroll down to Purchase of a Nebraska Residence in a Designated Extremely Blighted Area Credit and click Start.

Beginning in 2020, a nonrefundable credit against the Nebraska income tax, in the amount of $5,000 shall be allowed to any individual who purchases a residence during the taxable year if such residence:

* Is located within an area that has been declared an extremely blighted area under section 2 of the act, and
* Is the individual's primary residence, and
* Was not purchased from a family member of the individual or a family member of the individual's spouse.
