We have no access to your account(s) so we do not know what you did for 2023.   If you are sure you only had one TT online account, and that account does not show that you filed a 2023 tax return---is it possible you used some other software program for 2023--not TT?      Check the IRS site and see if the IRS shows if you filed a 2023 tax return. You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript     If it turns out that you did not file a 2023 return, the only way to finish preparing a return for 2023 is to use the desktop download software on a full PC or Mac, and the return will have to be filed by mail.  

I checked I didn't use two accounts on tt. I uploaded all w2's but, didn't process at the end.. Should I check tax statement on iris site, to make sure? It doesn't say anything, no status only my w2's uploaded for that year. If that is the case, should I print and send envelopes for both years 2023,2024?

The $6,000 deduction for seniors is not part of the standard deduction. It's a separate deduction on a different form. On your 2025 tax return, if you are married filing jointly and both 65 or older, your $34,700 standard deduction will be on Form 1040 line 25e. The $12,000 deduction for seniors will be on Schedule 1-A line 37. The total deductions from Schedule 1-A will be on Form 1040 line 13b, and may include other deductions besides the deduction for seniors. If you have no other deductions, the total deductions on Form 1040 line 14 will be $46,700, but other deductions could be included in line 14. For married filing jointly the deduction for seniors begins to phase out if your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) is over $150,000, so you might not get the full $6,000 per person. Note that, since the deduction for seniors is not part of the standard deduction, you get the deduction for seniors even if you use itemized deductions instead of the standard deduction.  

Sorry--it is now too late to use online TurboTax.   If you did not finish preparing your 2024 return you will need to use the desktop download on a full PC or Mac to finish it, and the return will have to be filed by mail.       https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/finish-prior-year-return-started-turbotax-online/L9Oe4M90A_US_en_US?uid=m68tffpe   If you already paid for your online software you can ask customer support for a download of the desktop software.   They are available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time Monday - Friday   https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899263-what-is-the-turbotax-phone-number     If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.  If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe.  Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.     When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

Are you filing a state tax return?  You might not need to pay state taxes, depending on why you left and how long you plan to be out of the country.  (Of course, if you had state withholding, you have to file to get a refund even if you think you don't owe state taxes.)

E-filing is closed now.   The only way to file your 2024 return is by mail.    Does the rejection notice actually say that your filing status is the reason for the rejection?  What filing status did you use?   What are you trying to change it to?   Or is this confusion resulting from saying you could not be claimed as someone else's dependent?  Did someone claim you and your return was rejected for duplicate use of your SSN?   Please explain.   You can no longer make changes using online.    If you began your return using online, the change(s) you want to make must be done by using desktop download software on a full PC or Mac.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/finish-prior-year-return-started-turbotax-online/L9Oe4M90A_US_en_US?uid=m68tffpe   If you already paid for your online software you can ask customer support for a download of the desktop software.   They are available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time Monday - Friday   https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899263-what-is-the-turbotax-phone-number     If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.  If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe.  Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.     When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.    

You must be the purchaser of the solar panels.  You contracted with the solar company, and you paid for (or financed) the purchase.  It's ok if the builder owned the home at the time (under construction) but you must be the person who contracted and paid for the solar panels.  If the builder contracted for their installation and rolled the price into the overall house price, then the builder might be eligible for a credit but you are not.  

It is too late to use online TurboTax for a 2024 return.    Online is closed, and e-filing for 2024 is closed.   To prepare your 2024 tax return using TurboTax you will need to purchase and download desktop software to a full PC or Mac.   Your past year 2023 online return can be transferred to the new return when you begin to prepare it using desktop.   Your 2024 return will have to be filed by mail.     Online preparation and e-filing for 2022, 2023, and  2024 is permanently closed.

Hi. The LLC is actually formed in and operates in West Virginia. But because we the owners reside in TX, a community property state, the IRS allows us to file under Schedule E.   Now that we reside in TN, a non community property state, I know that treating the LLC as a disregarded entity is no longer an option. My understanding from several experts is that we must file 1065 and K-1s. So mu question was regarding those filings. Thanks.

I don't know what you mean by "gambling records".  You would have 1099-G for winnings over a certain amount, and your own self-declared losses.   If Turbotax made a mistake, turbotax is supposed to cover any interest and penalties, but you always owe your own correct tax.  You have to file a claim within 30 days of the notice of deficiency.  https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/submit-claim-turbotax-100-accurate-calculation-100/L88SYklBL_US_en_US
