Individual 1040-X for tax year 2025. Need to attach an election under §174A(c) (OBBBA domestic R&E), made per Rev. Proc. 2025-28 §6.02.The statement has to carry two legends at the top: "FILED PURSUANT TO SECTION 6.02 OF REV. PROC. 2025-28" and "Filed pursuant to §301.9100-2" (late election relief).Is there a dedicated elections input for §174A(c) in the 2025 program, or does this go in as a PDF attachment / general footnote? And does e-filing a 1040-X with a PDF attachment work cleanly for 2025?Thanks.

Hello, I am creating this post because I have a small question. A taxpayer already efiled their return earlier in the year and reached out to me because they needed help requesting a payment plan. They tried applying online through their IRS Online account but it gave them an error message to call the IRS number instead. I was wondering if through my ProConnect Tax account, I can efile a Form 9465 Installment Agreement request WITHOUT filing a return for the taxpayer? 

Client sold investment property in Japan and paid a lot of foreign tax, how do I make sure it’s on form 1116, 

I can’t sign in to the account, it kept saying There's an issue on our end. We're on it.

Posting this publicly because any firm filing a Form 5471 is likely shipping client SSNs in documents they believe are masked, and has no way of knowing. Would appreciate a moderator escalating this to the product team.The problemIn ProConnect Tax Online (TY2025, 1040), the "Mask SSN and add watermark" print option does not mask the identifying number on two Form 5471 schedules:Schedule O, page 1 — Part II, Section A, the "Name, address, and identifying number of shareholder(s) filing this schedule" block. On a joint return this exposes both spouses’ SSNs. Schedule P, page 4 — the page-header "Identifying number" field.Every other identifying-number field in the same PDF masks correctly to *********.It is field-level, not page-level. On Schedule O page 1, Section B masks correctly while Section A — three inches above it, same page — does not.Likely causeThe two failing fields emit the number as nine bare digits with no separators. The masking routine appears to match only the hyphenate

Where do I enter the Tennessee Franchise Excise account number?

2 questions.1 - How do you get Form 172 to generate? Support article says it generates automatically, but I cannot see it even after entering information related to NOLs.2 - How do you determine taxable income prior to NOLs? If we have to manually override the amount of the NOL absorbed in the current year, we must know the taxable income before NOLs.

I see in the Letter template the code for the due date is [FDDorASAP].  I know you can change the due date of the return and that date will show in the letter, but how do you get it to say ASAP?

I expected Schedule K, Line 14c to automatically populate with the Gross Income of this partnership because it is not a farm.  But, it is not populating.  I see where I can add a Schedule K adjustment, but it shouldn't need adjusted, it just needs to bring in what is already there.  Thank you!

how can I fill out the 15f, 16b1 16c, 16e, and 16f of the Form-8621, Part V in Proconnect?

Over the last five years the taxpayer was investing in crypto through different platforms, but never sold any crypto. He kept transferring  from platform to platform but did not sell anything. In 2025 he sold all crypto and the platform incorrectly reported these sales to the IRS as “short term”. How can I correct the holding period?

The taxpayer played online wagering games. Based on Shollenberger v. Commissioner Court case it seems the gambling losses and the same gambling winnings can be netted and reported directly on Schedule 1.

I understand how to prepare a consolidated Form 1120-S for an S corporation holding company that owns 100% of an operating company for which a QSub election has been made. I also understand how to prepare the corresponding New York State return.However, Form NYC-3A, Combined General Corporation Tax Return, does not appear to be available in Intuit ProConnect. Is that correct, or am I missing an input or setup step in ProConnect?

I'm preparing a 2024 Form 1065 and have inherited a file with a fact pattern I'm unsure how to report.Facts:A partnership owned 100% of a single-member LLC. The single-member LLC owned a residential property. In January 2022, a warranty deed transferred legal title from the LLC to one of the partners individually. According to the partner, the transfer was done solely so he could qualify for the Florida homestead exemption based on his attorney's advice. The property was owned free and clear. The partner later sold the property personally in February 2024. The LLC was not dissolved until September 2024.The issue is that the prior preparer did not appear to change the accounting after the deed:The single-member LLC continued to carry the real estate and depreciate it on its books through 2022. The partnership continued to carry its investment in the single-member LLC on its balance sheet through 2023. No apparent distribution or other transaction was recorded to remove the investment.I'

Hey everyone. At this point, every single client has a software expense. Now we have the most general expenses on each input form, even if they aren’t on the form itself, such as Accounting, or Legal and Professional, or Payroll Taxes. Create an input for Software expenses. It can drop down to Other Expenses on the Schedule C, 1120S, 1120, 1065, that’s fine. I’ve created so many “other expense” lines for software expense that it should be an input at this point. I could see you grouping it in Office Expense too. It wouldn’t hurt to add this for 2026. 

I’m filing a 2025 1040 return.  My client’s wife died in 2025 and client died in early 2026.  The adult child/estate executor will be signing the return.  The IRS instructions say a Form 1310 isn’t required.  The software is requiring a From 1310.  When I prepare the form I receive an error message requiring me to paper file or file 1040X.  I don’t know how to resolve.  If I ignore warning to complete Form 1310 I get a critical error and can’t file.  If I complete Form 1310 I get another critical error.  Help! 

Is anyone able to get tax plans to work currently (7.28.2026)?  I have tried for multiple different 1040 clients and it never loads.  I just want to use regular tax plans, I dont want to go through Intuit Advisor.

Hello,The instructions for Worksheet A explicitly requires all entries be in the functional currency. During calculations, it should stop at Line 10 if:Line 7 is smaller than Line 8 and (5% De minimis test) Line 7 is smaller than $1 million ($ 1 million test) The client passes both tests; however, since the number in Line 7 is bigger than 1 million in local currency (much much less than $1,000,000) the program keeps going and calculating foreign personal holding company AND foreign base company income (there is no FBCI). The program should convert the numbers to US dollars and make the judgement, but it doesn’t. Now, I can enter the values in USD, but this would be against the instructions and worksheet is transmitted along with the return. I am afraid it might cause confusion. Any help in resolving this issue is greatly appreciated. 

Why won’t Calif 540 wont accept electronic payment for underpayment penalty 

I am using ProConnect and I have resubmited following the instructions for linking the documnet, but it has not been accepted.  I have linked the PDF to #73 sec B, so what is going wrong here?Thank you! 

The worksheet is subtracting guaranteed payments for health insurance on line 15p. That amount is already included in the calculation of ordinary business loss on line 15a, so it is being subtracted twice. My understanding is that guaranteed payments are not deducted from basis, other than as a part of the net income/loss calculation.  This worksheet is not filed with the return, but there does not seem to be a way to correct it and I will have to provide a manual worksheet to the partners.  Am I missing something.

Case: I am preparing an amended Virginia Form 760PY because the taxpayer forgot to report interest income from a Treasury bond (Form 1099-INT). When I prepare the amended Virginia return, the net tax change is $0, and the amended return still shows the original $4,000 refund from the previously filed Virginia tax return.Question: Is there a place on the amended return to indicate that the taxpayer has already received the refund from the original return? I'm concerned that the amended return still displays the same refund amount, and I'm not sure whether this could cause any issues when the Virginia Department of Taxation reviews the amended return.Thank you for your help!

Case: I helped a married couple file their 2025 individual income tax return this year. They filed as Married Filing Jointly (MFJ). The husband lived in Washington state for all of 2025. The wife lived in Virginia from January 1, 2025, through January 26, 2025, and then moved to WA to live with her husband for the remainder of the year.For their original state returns, I filed a Virginia Part-Year Resident Return (Form 760PY) using the following residency periods:Husband: 1/1/2025–1/1/2025 (to satisfy the software requirement that both spouses appear on the joint federal return) Wife: 1/1/2025–1/26/2025The wife recently informed me that she forgot to provide a Form 1099 issued by the Department of the Treasury. They would now like to file an amended return to report this additional interest income.The Form 1099 contains the following information:Date: 12/19/2025 Description of security: IAAAA Series I Savings Bond Box 3 – Interest on U.S. Savings Bonds and Treasury Obligations: $1,900M
