last year it was filed as a 1099 g and I didn't have any issues but this year I'm completely lost and don't want to get in trouble for misreporting. thanks!

Hi, I have filed already and remember that towards the end of the process, Turbotax asked if I want to file Q1 taxes for 2026. I said yes and went through all the questions to estimate the amount. However, I don't think Turbotax prompted me to pay this. I only paid my 2025 taxes. I don't know if I even officially filed this quarterly tax (is it needed?) and how to pay... can someone help me with what I need to do before the 15th? I've searched all the help articles and online and have no idea how to confirm what else needs to be done. This is my first time doing quarterlys. Thank you!!

I am trying to complete the "Tell us about the refund you received in 2025" portion and feel completely stuck. I do not have access to any tax documents from 2021 at this point, so I do not know what my payments and withholdings would have been. I have only ever worked or filed taxes in Louisiana, I know the amount of the refund, I'm just unsure about the payments and withholdings--if any of this helps/is relevant. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Is there something that may have changed in TurboTax between the morning & evening on 1/28/23? I logged back in and my refund amounts (which in my case was a federal amount owed, and a state refund) were significantly different. I'm using the web-based version of TurboTax and am self employed. Thank you!

I am a real estate agent and did not sell any homes this year but was still licensed and had to pay some fees.

Can anyone confirm if premiums for a LTC policy I have is deductible?  It's not employer paid and I am self-employed, but have had this policy for years from a prior employer purchase option.  The prior employer has never contributed to the premiums and I kept the policy when I left their employ. Anyone?

I'm using the desktop version of TurboTax Premiere. Somehow I entered something incorrectly and it's basically double counting my health insurance premiums as a self employed person. I'm not sure where to go and clear out this second entry. Can somebody give me some guidance?

For any 2025 tax year 1099-NEC compensation; is a self-employed taxpayer classified as an independent contractor for Federal purposes always classified as an employee receiving income for tax purposes by the state of California?

I cannot get past the check this entry section. It states Line 19 other expenses must be entered. The value is entered. Unsure how to get past this window

Pershing/ BNY reports ordinary investment income (coupon payments on their investment notes) on 1099-MISC box 3. After I answer all of TurboTax questions truthfully, it concludes that it is some sort of self-employment income and creates schedule C. Why can't TurboTax handle this correctly? It seems a TurboTax bug to me. Reading through IRS publication about 1099-MISC (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1099mec.pdf), my interpretation is that the brokerage should be ok to report ordinary investment income (that's not dividends, royalties, stock transactions, interest, etc) on box 3. TurboTax should handle this correctly.

TT automatically calculates the excess APTC, and adds it to tax owed. However, it doesn't then add this amount in sch 1, line 17, to lower the AGI.

Washington State has a Long Term Care tax and an FMLA Tax that is taken automatically out of the "employees" pay each month.  There is an exemption process you can go through for the Long Term Care tax, but there is no such thing for the FMLA Tax.  This question is NOT about what the employer pays.  Just about what the "employee" have to pay.  I work for a company based only in Washington State.  I'm a fully remote worker living in Florida.   So I will NEVER get to use the WA State FMLA employee paid program because I do not live there.  Yet I pay around $600 a year for it. Can I take the premium I'm forced to pay as a tax deduction anywhere on my federal taxes?
