Deductions & credits

Neither TurboTax or the IRS will add the credit, so if you did not get the credit and are qualified for it, you would need to amend the return after it has been processed.  You have a couple of years to do that, so the is plenty of time.   If you had not already filed, you could review it and make changes, but since you have filed already, you have to wait.   

 

However, if the contributions were on your W-2 and you enter the Box D code in Box 12 in TurboTax, the credit would have been automatically applied if you qualified.  Now if you did not put the code D in, you will want to amend.

 

Did you take any distributions that you received a 1099-R for?  And 1 other thing to check - Look at Line 24 of your Form 1040 - is their an amount?  @Tucker14
