With online TurboTax you do not have direct access to any of the forms or schedules. You do not have to locate the 1A----if you are entering information that belongs there, the software will put it on schedule 1A for you. What are you trying to enter? Senior deduction---it is automatic. Car interest? Tips? When you enter these, the deduction ends up on Form 1040 line 13b.

To enter Car Loan Interest -

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home & Business)
Click on Deductions and Credits
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Cars and Other Things You Own
On Car Loan Interest, click on the start or update button

Schedule 1-A is generated if you are eligible for an Additional Deduction, such as No Tax On Tips, No Tax On Overtime or the Additional Senior Deduction.

The total of this schedule (Schedule 1-A) flows to line 13b on your 1040 Federal return.

To preview your Form 1040 Tax Return using TurboTax Online, please select Tax Tools on the left side bar, then TOOLS from the drop-down that opens

(you may need to play with the scroll bar on the left side to see these options)

Next, select "View Tax Summary" on the Tools Center Screen

On the left side bar you can find "Preview my 1040"

Select "Preview my 1040"

If using TurboTax Desktop, simply switch to FORMS located at the top right corner (left on MAC)

I am using home and business desktop and I am having the same issue. I don't see it in as an available schedule. In my case my age should have triggered the senior deduction, but is did not.

@BAJuliano What is your filing status? If you are filing MFS you are not eligible for the senior deduction. Or if you are single and your income was over $75,000 it phases out.

You say you are using desktop Home and Business. You should be able to go to Forms mode and see 1A.
