Re: Two-member LLC with loss for the year

AmeliesUncle — Mon, 04 May 2026 21:32:55 GMT

"Material Participation" (which is the factor for determining passive vs non-passive for non-rentals) is based on the entire year. You can check if she meets any of the Material Participation test by looking at the IRS link below.

Re: My LLC car lease paid with personal funds

AmeliesUncle — Mon, 04 May 2026 21:30:05 GMT

Is this a business? Is it a Single Member LLC that has NOT made an election to be taxed as a corporation?

If so, from an income tax viewpoint, the LLC is "disregarded", so it has no meaning. For income tax purposes, it doesn't matter if you paid it from your account or the LLC account. In other words, you can still deduct the expenses.

If that is not your situation, the answer may be different.

The purpose of an LLC is legal protection. Mixing business and personal by paying business expenses with your personal account could eliminate that legal program, which could defeat the purpose of having an LLC. If you are concerned about legal protection (which seems to be the case if you formed an LLC), you should discuss it with a business lawyer.

Re: Why am I being charged $100 to file this when I declined the protection?

TurboTaxBrenda — Mon, 04 May 2026 21:22:22 GMT

This wasn't for protection; this was for assistance & review—to have an expert review your return before you file, and when you have any questions, they will be available to guide you.

TurboTaxBrenda — Mon, 04 May 2026 21:20:52 GMT

Did you start with self-employment by accident, or did it say you needed to upgrade to self-employed?

Yes, you can use another version as long as you have never purchased it as of yet.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

TurboTaxBrenda — Mon, 04 May 2026 21:17:25 GMT

Did you perhaps have donations in previous years that were carried forward? If not, please go to deductions and see if donations are there—if yes, edit or delete them.

Re: Can I claim more than rent, wifi, and utilities for T2200?

TurboImpotBrenda — Mon, 04 May 2026 21:12:44 GMT

You can only claim what your T2200 shows that you can claim.

Key Deductible Expenses (As Certified by Employer)
Work-Space-in-the-Home Expenses: A proportionate share of electricity, heat, water, and home insurance (if you rent). If you own, you can deduct a portion of utilities and maintenance, but generally not mortgage interest or property taxes.
Office Supplies: Consumable items like pens, paper, and ink cartridges.
Telecommunications: A portion of internet costs and cellphone minutes/data plans.
Motor Vehicle/Travel Expenses: If you travel to meet clients, you may claim fuel, maintenance, and parking.
Professional/Legal Fees: Fees paid for legal advice to get your job or salary

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Should TurboTax have allowed me to file my DC tax return [Form D-40B] online, or force me to print and mail it in?

courtney-payne914 — Mon, 04 May 2026 21:11:13 GMT

I was required to print out and mail Form D-40B for a refund from DC for taxes paid to other states, despite an online option being available. Now, 2.5 months later, I am unable to confirm with DC whether it was ever received, let alone processed. This caused a delayed attempted withdrawal of Virginia's taxes owed to bounce. I owe Virginia a penalty fee, and still cannot confirm whether DC ever received my form.

Re: I bought the deluxe online version and it says to pay $30 to file my own taxes, Why?

You are paying for the software, and the TurboTax Deluxe online version is $30.

Re: I selected the $40 and you charged me $79

DoninGA — Mon, 04 May 2026 21:02:36 GMT

The TurboTax Free online edition is for very simple tax returns that do not require any other form or schedule other than the Form 1040. If your tax data requires entry on any other form or schedule then you must upgrade to the Deluxe edition or higher.

If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return and start over with a lower priced edition. Click on Switch Products on the lower left side of the program screen while working on the 2025 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over

Go to this TurboTax website for the Free online edition - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/free-edition.jsp

Re: How do I print out the draft T1 General form before filing?

TurboTaxBrenda — Mon, 04 May 2026 21:01:46 GMT

If you print before you file, it will count as a return filed. You will need to file your return first. You can also save a PDF copy of your return and open that up to see the numbers.

JotikaT2 — Mon, 04 May 2026 20:53:46 GMT

It depends.

If your 2024 Adjusted Gross Income doesn't match what the IRS has on record, this could result in an e-file error. Please see this FAQ for guidance.

If your return is being rejected for another reason, you should receive a message and guidance on how to fix the return and proceed. Please see "what does my rejected return code mean and how do I fix it?" for direction on resolving the issue.

Re: Does anyone have a 2025 QMID for Amana/Daiken that is working for TurboTax?

user17775707019 — Mon, 04 May 2026 20:52:03 GMT

I found the link for re-uploading the letter and form 5695. Once you are logged into IRS, you need to find the “Secure Messaging Center”. The letter is referenced in this section and re-uploading was seamless.

The IRS Document Upload Tool link was not valid for responding to the letter I received. The letter did have the correct code nor a QR code to upload on the IRS Document Upload Tool.

TurboTaxBrenda — Mon, 04 May 2026 20:45:46 GMT

No, you cannot use your husband's RRSP contributions to repay your Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) withdrawal, and he cannot use yours. The HBP repayment must be made to an RRSP in your name and designated as a repayment for your own HBP account.
