E-file says that the carryover shown for line 24 does not match the sum of the section 179 carryovers. How can I find the number that it's requesting to complete filing?

Method 1. There is no "Jump To NOL Carryforward Link" appearing after searching using the term "nol carryforward ". There are 41 pages of other responses. I gave up at 13 pages. Method 2. There is no "Federal" to click on. There is "Federal Refund" and "Federal Review". I had to create my own solution. Click on "Business". Scroll down to heading "Less Common Business Situations". Select "Operating Loss QBI Carryforward". Enter your number. Having done this I still get bonked at the moment I try to e-file: "Check This Entry. Carryover Worksheet: Line 24 (1st col) - The total Section 179 carryover shown here does not match the sum of the Section 179 carryovers shown on each individual activity..." What does activity even mean? Come on Intuit Turbo Tax, please get your act together so I can e-file.

Resolving this issue will take some time and investigation. Here's a process posted by @Mike9241 from tax year 2021 that would be a great place to start. (Note that you may need TurboTax CD/Download installed on your computer in order to access the mentioned forms to make changes.)

"The amount shown on the carryover wks is the total section 179 carryover from all activities in last year's return.

In order for this amount to be properly deducted in this year's return, you must also enter the carryover on the activity that originally generated the deduction.

If the sum of the carryovers on the individual activities does not match the total carryover shown here, we give you an error message asking you to review the carryovers and make sure they are correct.

If you get the error message and any of the section 179 carryover from [a prior year] is attributable to qualified real property (QRP) and you have made adjustments to the section 179 carryover on the individual activities from which the deduction was taken (per IRS instructions), you will need to adjust the amount on this worksheet to reflect those changes. In this case, correct the number on this worksheet to match the sum of the carryovers on the individual activities.

If you get the error message on a transferred file, review last year's return to make sure that the allowable section 179 was allocated properly. Specifically, you should check that in last year's return:

• the allowable section 179 on each activity does not exceed the total of the section 179 elected for that activity last year, plus any section 179 carryover to that activity last year, and
• the sum of the allowable section 179 on all activities equals the total allowable section 179 shown on Form 4562:Section 179 Limitation.

If there was an error in allocating the Section 179 in last year's return, you may need to amend the return to correct the allocation."
