I, as well as a few people on turbotax, are trying to complete our State tax returns, but Schedule CA Part II is giving us a lot of issues. It keeps saying we have things to review, but when we go back and check our math everything is correct. Please help so we can get our state tax returns efiled.

My tax return rejected due to inaccurate. AGI. I don't know why. I posted correct number. Program is now requesting my deceased wife's AGI. I need someone to contact me to help resolve. 

Thanks

You can find your 2018 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by:

• Looking at line 7 on page 2 of your 2018 Form 1040; or
• You can request a transcript of your 2018 tax return from the IRS to ensure you have the right number. You can request your transcript online at the following link: Get Transcript 

Check these items as well to ensure you have the correct number.  If you:

• Filed late last year after mid-November or your return was processed after that time—try entering 0.
• Amended your return last year—make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. (If you only have a 1040X form, it’s on line 1, column A).
• Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less.
• Filed with your spouse last year—you and your spouse have the same 2018 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter 0 for one of you).

Unfortunately, without the correct number, your only option would be to print and mail in your return. 

This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.

I need help regarding depreciation on a rental unit..schedule E

[DeanM15]

If you want to speak to someone about entering the depreciation for your rental unit, go to the upper right-hand area of your TurboTax Online screen and click on HELP, then CONTACT US, then TALK TO A PERSON. If you want to speak to Live Tax Advice, you can click on that choice in the upper right-hand corner of your TurboTax screen to find out how much that will cost. 

Depreciation on a rental should be taken every year. Home depreciation is "allowed or allowable" which means that even if you did not take the depreciation, you will still get dinged on the sale.

"If you used all or part of your home for business or rental after May 6, 1997, you may need to pay back ("recapture") some or all of the depreciation you were entitled to take on your property. "Recapturing" depreciation means you must include it as ordinary income on your tax return."

Depreciation on a rental home is taken over 27.5 years. You begin taking the depreciation the moment you place the property in service as a rental. You stop taking depreciation when you take the property out of service or when you have deducted the entire cost or other basis in the property. 

Take care to remove the land from the depreciable basis. Land cannot be depreciated. 

You can find out more about rental property here and here.
