The one issue I have is those same people continually whining about Intuit's policies on this board. If they don't like it, just move on; use a tax pro, different software, or prepare the return manually.

The Enhanced Deduction for Seniors is automatically generated based upon your filing status and age.   The $6,000 Enhanced Deduction for Seniors is reported on IRS Schedule 1-A Part V lines 31 through 37.  The total of IRS Schedule 1-A may be found on line 13b of the IRS form 1040.    In TurboTax Online, you may print or view your full tax returns prior to filing after you have paid for the software.   View the entries down the left side of the screen at Tax Tools. Select Print Center. Select Print, save or preview this year's return.  In TurboTax Desktop, select FORMS in the upper right hand corner of the screen.  

The link below, previously provided by holzasago, can be used to find the Manufacturer ID (QMID) as required by Form 5695 (Residential Energy Credits), but be sure to verify the number with the manufacturer before including it on your tax return.   Find Your QMID

I would like to take a deeper look at your tax return but will need you to create a copy that does not have any of your personal information.  To create this diagnostic file, follow the instructions below to send it to us.   For TurboTax Online:   Sign into your TurboTax Online account Scroll down to Tax Tools from the menu on the left side .  Select Tools from the drop-down  On the pop-up screen, select Share my file with agent A message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us appears Provide the Token Number that was generated in this thread.    For TurboTax Desktop/Download Versions:    Open your return. Select the Online tab in the black bar at the top of TurboTax and select Send Tax File to Agent This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created.  Select OK and the tax file will be sanitized and transmitted to us. Please provide the Token Number that was generated in this thread.     This will allow us to open a copy of your tax return without any of your personal information.

M-M Tax   Not sure why you are stumping for Intuit TT, but I have NEVER filed my taxes through Intuit.  There is no requirement to use them.  I can print out all the appropriate forms and send them into the great IRS paper cloud, or use TT as a gathering point and allow my accountant to do e-filing, or if I can get the AGI down e-file (https://www.irs.gov/file-your-taxes-for-free) on my own.  Sending Intuit or any other not required third party my annual return would seem as inappropriate as scanning my passport or driver license to one of the purported secure identity services like the one used by LinkedIn or CapitalOne.  And yes Intuit has a leak "https://www.classaction.org/blog/intuit-data-breach-lawsuit-filed-by-turbotax-user-over-2024-cyberattack".

You can't have two different personal versions of TurboTax on the same computer (e.g., TurboTax Premier and TurboTax Home & Business).   You can have a personal version and TurboTax Business on the same computer, however.

The short answer is NO.    If you do not get time and a half for the hours over 40 that you work, you do not qualify for the Overtime Credit.   Please see the IRS publication listed as What is qualified overtime compensation for purposes of the deduction?

I have the same scenario.  I have been up and down the questions on the AZ step-by-step on the desktop version and do not see  that "Adjustment to State Income Tax Deduction" screen.  How do I navigate to, select or trigger that screen to appear?

How do I keep on top of this issue?  Big item donation year.  Dozens of items in the range of $100-$200 donation value.  I want to report separately to minimize IRS misinterpreting.  I downloaded my CSV file from ItsDeductible before it crapped out.  Each "Charitable Organizations Worksheet" (in FORMS) still shows a section for ItsDeductible imported data.  Can I access that somehow??  Is there an alternative way to import data?
