The “senior deduction” is added automatically by the software based on the date of birth and filing status you entered into MY INFO.  You do not need to take any extra steps to enter it. (And…the new senior deduction has nothing to do with whether you are getting Social Security)   The deduction is not on the same line as your standard deduction.  It is shown separately.on line 13b.     2025 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS SINGLE $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind + $2000) MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind +1600) MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $31,500  (65 or older/legally blind + $1600) HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $23,625 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)     For 2025 through 2028 there is an extra  deduction amount of up to $6000 per individual 65 or older filing Single, MFJ, or HOH which is phased out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers.   (The deduction phases out completely at $175.000 Single or HOH, or $250,000 joint)   The $6,000 senior deduction will be calculated on 1040 Schedule 1-A page 2 Part V Enhanced Deduction for Seniors which goes to 1040 line 13b. It is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e.  Turbo Tax automatically includes it. IRS Schedule 1-A https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/f1040s1a--dft.pdf   Need to see it? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/preview-turbotax-online-return-filing/L77WCkvnu_US_en_US?uid=m681fkhr   If you are not getting the senior deduction it is because Your date of birth in MY INFO shows that you were not 65 by the end of 2025 Your income is too high You are filing married filing separately  

The link led me to my profile with a list of of posted messages.   What I am really looking for is an option that when I subscribe to a topic, that the subscription include all messages posted to that topic -- including my own.   I can print the topic, but it doesn't print out clean.  Part of the text is obscured by the logic, etc.   Or some other options?

The .tax2022 file is the data file that you want. It's possible that the client saved several versions of her tax return at various stages, and sent you the wrong one. It's not clear to me whether you are opening the file in TurboTax or in ProConnect. If you're sure you have the right file, and it's not opening properly in ProConnect, you should ask for help in the ProConnect Community. If it's not opening properly in TurboTax, make sure that your 2022 TurboTax software is fully updated.  

You are responsible for paying the sales (or other taxes) required by the state where you register the vehicle.  For example, if you lived in Georgia and bought a vehicle in Alabama, you would owe a one-time Title Ad Valorem Tax (TAVT) which you have to pay when you register the vehicle (get your tag).  You would not have to pay Alabama sales or ad valorem tax.  

Have you moved in the past few years?  Are you filling for more than one state?   If so see my previous posts in this thread on how I got around it. You might need to update your billing and address info on Intuit account (parent company; not just turbo tax).

For the California tax return, Form 3514 (Earned Income Tax Credit), the business code required is typically the 6-digit NAICS code found on your federal Schedule C, K-1, or farm income schedule.    If no specific business code is available, users often enter "999999" or "0000" to bypass the requirement if prompted by software.   

You need TurboTax Business, which is different than TurboTax Home & Business.   See https://turbotax.intuit.com/small-business-taxes/cd-download   You can also get assistance from Intuit in preparing your 1065 (recommended if this is the first time you've filed a 1065).

i overrode the figure with the erroneous deduction and put in 2500 which is max allowed. went through checks several times and turbotax keeps wanting me to put the wrong large deduction. i already filed my federal and paid to efile the state but when i was efiling it wouldn't allow me to do it ( after i paid the fee) because of the override. so i printed the state return to planning to mail it in. when i was figuring out where to mail it, our state taxpayer access portal recommneded efiling directly on their site. i put in the numbers on the online NM PIT form and completed my return that way. btw, i am still awaiting confirmation that my state efiling fee will be refunded.   prior to giving up on turbotax for the NM state return i called turbotax support and the last guys advice was just to "consult a tax professional". huh? i was asking about them fixing the deduction as well as an error in a line 38 of the form which should equal the total of lines 33, 34  and 36 i think. i changed it to the right total but the program didn't like being overridden. like the other 2 people i asked for help he wasn't aware of any pending update to the NM return. software. please correct this issue on the software.

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.    Sometimes—not always— the IRS corrects your mistakes, while they are processing your return.    If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed   The Form 1040X is scheduled to be available on February 19.   The date is subject to change, so check on 2-19 to see if it is ready.   Before that, do not change anything at all on your return.
