I'm looking to claim the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit for a second home which I reside in some of the year and I installed electric heat pumps. If you begin the Home Energy workflow, if you select the option that the improvements are not for your main home, the only options to claim are on Part 1 of form 5695…
Why does the new car loan interest deduction calculation not match all of the articles I have read? I have a car loan that qualifies, but when I enter the information in FreeTaxUSA, it says the deduction is $0. The MAGI is over $100,000, and the filing status is married filing separately. The MAGI is $114,841, and the…
This discussion was created from comments split from: When can I file for 2025?.

How do I get the software to acknowledge this to create a F8606 form? If the software cannot do it, can I just submit it manually to ensure it's…

When my ex went to file and claim dependent care on said child his return was denied as our child's SSN was already claimed on my return. Why did…

But then I read (on this site!) about the extra above-the-line charitable contribution deduction for 2025. FTUSA didn't prompt me for that when it analyzed my return. I decided I needed to…
I got **** into a horrible cryptocurrency scam a few months ago. I lost over $150,000! I purchased BTC and ETH with my real money through real crypto trading sites (Robinhood, crypto.com, coinbase), but then stupidly transferred them to the scammer's wallet address to do what they said was "contract trading" to make a…
Where is Injured Spouse information entry located in the 2025 software for a married filing separately return? We looked in both federal credits/deductions and miscellaneous but have been unable to locate it so far. The Help does not have a hyperlink to go directly to that screen but says the topic/form is supposed to be…
I am attempting to file my taxes and I had a mini split system installed in my home as I wanted to be more energy efficient. However the company I went with sells them as a "package" and does not have an itemized break down of what each parts costs... So how do I determine the most expensive part if the company doesn't…
