Why do you think  you are only getting it for 1 person?   I can think of a couple things.....   Go back to My Info and check both birthdates.  You both had to be 65 or older on Dec 31, 2025.   Check that your ssn under My Info was marked NOT VALID for employment.  Uncheck that.   How much is on your 1040 or 1040 SR line 13b?  Maybe you have a high income and the total for both is being phased out.  For Joint the deductions starts to phase out at 150,000 and maxes out at 250,000

Same exact problem for me.  For 2023 Tax Year, they refunded me after I paid for the filing. For the 2024 Tax Year, they denied my refund!  Now I have to continue to call to get help for the 2024 refund, and now also have to request the refund for the 2025 Tax Year.  Intuit currently owes me $279 + $279 filing fees and I am extremely unhappy about it...spending hours trying to deal with this and their products are supposed to help our businesses.

it might be that you are  getting it for noth but the amount is reduced when Modified Adjusted Gross Income on line 3 of Schedule 1-A is over $150,00   then if filing jointly and both are over 65, you lose 12% of the maximum of $12,000 for each dollar MAGI is over $150,000

Yes, my situation is the latter... living in 2 states with separate employers in each state. So it seems easy to tax each state return separately. Turbotax did Illinois return correctly, but NY return is including the IL income (so the total income to be taxed is higher) and only subtracting the NY taxes paid. So it says I owe NY taxes when really I dont if it would have included the NY income earned in NY only (same as the IL return). I put part-resident for both, so it should have done both states the same. 

@Taxnoob2026 ,  (a) I do not believe there is any quick way to achieve what you are trying to achieve. (b)  Was the son born in the USA or born abroad but registered by you ate US consulate ( through your citizenship )? (c) For you to claim your son as a dependent,  -- see this page from the IRS -->  Dependents | Internal Revenue Service Note there are special dispensations  for child residing in MX or CA (d) for you to file MFJ, your spouse needs a tax ID  ( SSN/ITIN ).  You can indeed file MFJ, include the  ITIN request W-7 and all the  required documentation  etc. and file by mail.  This will allow IRS to issue ITIN  retroactively ONLY for the purpose of filing a return. (e)  To get her K visa or whatever , I would suggest you contact/use the services of an immigration attorney.   Does this help ?  Is there more one of us can do for you ?

I cannot edit the Mac desktop home/business Schedule 1 form.   Specifically, I need to add an entry to the Part II section 24 (z) to make an entry that actually gets calculated.   I discovered how to select the empty field, go to Edit and select Override, and make my text entry.   When I save the file, I can then move to the dollar amount, repeat the override and enter in a dollar amount.   However, the form will not autocalculate to 24z.  So I manually select, override, enter in the dollar amount that I would have expected to be calculated from the line-item entry in (z).    And when I put in that dollar amount in 24z in the column, nothing is autocalculated in line 25. Naturally, Schedule 1, Part II, Line 25 will not allow an entry, nor the option to Edit:Override to make the entry.  So this form is basically useless.   Doesn't matter if I select the forms:1040/1040SR Wks or the individual Schedule 1 form.  No completion of task.   In EasyStep, where can I find the line items for Sch 1 part II, line 24?

To be clear, I have entered the detail for each Form 1116 on the Foreign Tax Credit Computation Worksheet for each Form 1116, and the data flows properly to each Form 1116.  And the Tax Return appears to be fine, as the total of all  Form 1116 copies is accounted for.  The problem seems to be some internal TurboTax Smart Check that seems inappropriate.   TurboTax will not let me efile until this is resolved.  

So besides Form 8949 and Schedule D, what other proof would be needed to show it was an Investment Property?  Perhaps your answer would depend on how the property was acquired?  It was inherited.  So what part of the following statement is not true --- Regarding capital gains on inherited property (and losses), you can claim a capital loss on inherited property if you sold it and all of these are true:    You sold the house in an arm’s length transaction.    You sold the house to an unrelated person.    You and your siblings didn’t use the property for personal purposes.    You and your siblings didn’t intend to convert the property to personal use before the sale. An arm’s length transaction is a transaction where the buyers and sellers have no relationship to each other. Except when handling an inheritance, related parties include:    The estate    The executor    Beneficiaries of the estate Report the sale on Form 8949, which will transfer to Schedule D. Enter your basis in the property as your share of the fair market value (FMV) of the property on your mother’s date of death.

OK, I looked at your token from March 25th. Yes, the Review showed the error message for WI Schedule I, Part II, line 1a, Col II, and asked me to enter it. I entered zero. I reran the Review and the error disappeared.   So let me confirm - are you using the Online product or the Desktop product? My test was on the Desktop product, and indeed, the only way I can see your token is using the Desktop product.    If you are using the Online product, I will have to build the test - I can do it, but it just takes longer.
