To pay your TurboTax fees with a credit card, you need a US billing address.
You can change the billing address to a US address in Step 1 of the checkout process to pay the TurboTax fees.
After you have completed Step 1, you can go back to the My Info section in TurboTax and change the address back to the address you want to be shown on your tax return as your mailing address.

I am open to being corrected, but if the taxpayer has been making withdrawals since 2021, they can't use the 2019 basis in 2025. They have to account for the intervening years even if they didn't claim the exclusion.

Medicare portion:
1,842×2.9%≈53 ?
That is true if your W-2 wages are more than the social security limit for the year ($176,100 for 2025). If your income is more than that, then your business SE tax will only be the 2.9% Medicare portion.

Let's not let this thread get buried - we not have multiple confirmations that TurboTax has an error denying senior taxpayers their credit and gives them no agency to manage whether the age deduction is taken. Perhaps the media should be contacted to give Intuit some motivation - this seems like a big deal and could be denying thousands $600-700 of a refundable credit - this should not be swept under the rug - I will be checking twice a day to see if Intuit doesn't respond - if this does not happen - I'll determine how to escalate this and make a spectacle of it

If the mortgage interest you paid in 2025 is less than what you are seeing in TurboTax on Schedule A, it could be that an entry was made in more than place in the mortgage interest interview.
Revisit the Mortgage Interest section in Deductions and Credits. For example, you may have entered deductible Points in addition to the amount on your Form 1098.
Please see this TurboTax tips article and this help article for more information.

I won a jackpot in Mass and I live in MN so I need to file taxes in both states. The problem that I have run into is that I have Div and Int that Mass wants to tax that are coming from my federal tax. If I exclude them which I believe I should. I don't see them on my MN state tax. Can anyone help with this? Thanks.

Could the answer be that elementary and secondary tuition could be considered qualified education expenses if they were incurred *because* of someone attending a qualified post-secondary school?

You can file a return to officially put on paper that you have no income. It's not required, and you can't e-file unless you have at least one dollar of gross taxable income.
You are required to file if you have more than $400 of income from self-employment, or more than $13,000 of other taxable income. There are a few other wrinkles -- for example, if you are married filing separately, you must file if your spouse files and you have more than $5 of income.
There is an IRS web site to help you determine if you need to file.

Since your form has Box 3 (Reimbursed Amount) and Box 4 (Qualified Contract) checked, you are correct: this money is not taxable. It is simply a "repayment" for medical expenses your mother incurred before she passed.
You will answer the questions this way:
"Did you receive a distribution from a Long-Term Care contract?" Select YES. (Even though it was for your mother, you are the recipient of the check and the form).
"Did you inherit this contract?" Select YES.
"Did you receive a per diem payment or an accelerated death benefit?" Select NO.
Leave the box blank (or enter $0) for both Per Diem Gross Benefits and Accelerated Death Benefits.
Enter the qualified expenses and the amount that were reimbursed from Box 1 on the LTC Costs screen. These boxes should have the same numbers. You can leave number of days empty.
This will make the amount non-taxable.
