There is no TurboTax download software that will run on a Chromebook. You have to either use the Windows download on a Windows computer, or the Mac download on a Mac. Your problem isn't accessing your download. Your problem is that you bought the Windows download but you are not installing it on a Windows computer. Downloading it again isn't going to change anything. If you don't have a Windows computer, and your Mac meets the system requirements for the Mac software, ask customer service to exchange your Windows download for a Mac download. Critter-3 posted a link for the Mac system requirements in the first reply in this thread, above.   ... View more

For 2022 the annual gift tax exclusion is $16,000. That means that someone can give you gifts totaling $16,000 for the year and they do not have to report it. They do not have to file a gift tax return or pay any gift tax. Even if someone gives you more than $16,000, they would have to file a gift tax return, but they would not have to pay any gift tax unless their total lifetime gifts to all recipients is more than $12 million. So if someone wants to pay off your student loan for you, they can just give you the money. They don't have to cosign the loan. You cannot use TurboTax to file a gift tax return (Form 709).   ...

The IRS does allow you to make summary entries on your tax return, but then you have to mail to the IRS a statement listing each individual sale. You have to send the details of each sale to the IRS one way or another. And you have to make separate summary entries for short-term and long-term sales. When you start to enter a sale manually, it will give you two choices: "I'll enter one sale at a time" or "I'll enter a summary for each sales category." Select the second option, and it will then give you boxes to enter the total proceeds and total cost, and select the sale category: short-term or long-term, covered or noncovered. (All crypto sales are noncovered, at least until 2023.) After that screen, you will get a screen that asks if you need to enter another sale, meaning totals for another category. You have to enter separate totals for each category. The statement that you send to the IRS has to contain the same information as Form 8949, in a similar format. The information needed is a description of the property sold, dates of acquisition and disposition, proceeds, basis, adjustment and code(s) if applicable, and gain or loss. Put your name and Social Security number at the top of each page of the statement. If you e-file your tax return, TurboTax will create a Form 8453 for you to print. Attach the statement to Form 8453 and mail it to the IRS promptly after your e-file has been accepted. If you file your tax return by mail, attach the statement to the return, behind all the IRS forms and schedules.   ... View more

TurboTax did not prepare your tax return. You prepared your tax return yourself, using TurboTax as a tool. The error in your tax return could have been caused by a calculation error in TurboTax, or by an error in the information that you entered. TurboTax will not pay the tax that you legitimately owe. If your tax return had been correct, you would have paid the additional tax when you filed. If the error was caused by a calculation error in TurboTax, TurboTax will reimburse you for the interest and penalties that you pay, under its 100% Accurate Calculation Guarantee. Go to the link that tagteam posted above for instructions to submit a claim for reimbursement. One other possibility, though less likely, is that the state is wrong. Review the billing notice carefully and make sure it's correct before you pay the amount due or file an Accuracy Guarantee claim.   ... View more

With such a large refund, his tax return is likely to be flagged for manual review. If that happens, it could be 6 months or more before it's processed. The IRS is severely backlogged this year, and anything that requires manual attention takes many months.   ... View more

@Razorback2424    Focus on the basics. You did not sell the car, because you never owned the car. Since you never owned the car, basis and depreciation are irrelevant. The broker paid you $8,000, essentially for your services in facilitating his purchase of the car. That's $8,000 of ordinary income to you. You have to pay tax on the entire $8,000 at ordinary income rates. It is not capital gain. You probably have to treat $6,000 (75%) of the payment as business income. You didn't say what kind of business organization you have. If it's a sole proprietorship (Schedule C), treating it as business income means you will have to pay self-employment tax on the additional $6,000 of business income, in addition to the regular income tax. I doubt that the lease actually said that you could sell the right to purchase the car. That argument is a big stretch. You didn't sell anything. You just made a deal that paid you $8,000. It's fully taxable ordinary income, and 75% of it is attributable to your business. I think NCperson's argument based on what "would have been" is too convoluted, and I don't agree with his conclusion that the $2,000 is not taxable. You could claim that any income you earn is a reduction of some personal expense. That doesn't mean that the income is not taxable. The $2,000 (or the $8,000) is not a refund of part of your lease payments. It's new income.   ... View more

Previously the IRS did not allow Form 1040-X to be filed electronically if the filing status was changed. About a week ago the IRS announced that they were eliminating that restriction. TurboTax has not yet been updated for this very recent change in IRS policy. I don't know if it will be updated this year. For now, you have to file Form 1040-X by mail if you are changing the filing status.   ... View more
