I am a long time TurboTax user.     Have used "Home&Business".  We no longer need the "business" side.  Will "Deluxe" still import all of the personal information?

Tax Year Prior to 2020: I need a live chat

Yes.  All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.

If I understand correctly, all the SSNs, previous application information will import into the Deluxe version?

Assuming you have a live version of TurboTax look for the live help button in the lower right corner of your TurboTax screen.  Here are more options if you have other TurboTax versions (mobile for example).

I sold my house in 2019 with a considerable gain and am evidently subject to AMT.  TurboTax asked for the home office depreciation which was $3,500.00.  Then it asked me for the AMT depreciation.  What is the answer to AMT depreciation?

It may be the same number as regular depreciation.  According to the instructions for 6251

 

For property placed in service after 1998, if the 200% declining balance (DB) MACRS method is used for regular tax purposes, depreciation must be recalculated for AMT purposes using 150% DB MACRS. The difference between regular depreciation and this redetermined amount is an income adjustment subject to inclusion in Alternative Minimum Tax Income (AMTI).

 

For all other property placed in service after 1998, the depreciation method is the same for regular tax and AMT purposes. 

 

If you need to re-figure for AMT the instructions are here as well.

The IRS website should be up in a couple of days.

 

The IRS is preparing Websites to update information and check your filing status.  It is expected to be completed in mid-April.

 

Please read what it says on the right hand side where it says “Filers: Get Your Payment”
