Tax return of a retired couple & splitting income. Sold primary residence of 50 yrs. One returns went through but the second one won't. How can I fix this?

It was their primary residence. Turtotax is asking for Residential Property Flipping. I don't know how to fix it. they are in their late 80s.

Hello, can you clarify what message you're seeing?

Did you receive a "warning" message? If so, you can simply ignore the warning message and proceed to filing. You do not need to answer the question related to residential property flipping.

I tried that and still got this message. I have a feeling I have tried too many times now & I will need to drop it off. The worst thing is one of them died in March & that's the one I'm having problems with so if I print it, I can't get them to sign it. It appears as if I'm in a jam.

I get an error 35.

@skeough8 I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

You can't NETFILE a return for a deceased person. You need to print out and mail it, and the executor of the estate (or legal representative) needs to sign it.
