You would have a 1095A if you had marketplace health insurance---aka "Obamacare"    aka Affordable Care Act   aka healthcare.gov.    If you have Medicaid, you do not have a 1095A so when it asks about 1095A say NO and just move on.

The OP has a valid question and this applies to me also. The APO address WILL NOT WORK. Technically the APO address is not a "post office box" but the software is flagging on more than this. Even if I take out "Box xxx" it will flag the "PSC" code. This never happened with the installed application as I've been using that for 10+ years, all with APO addresses, with no problem. This year decided to try the web-based product and this is one of a few problems I've found. Anyone at an APO address actually find a way forward?

On Amazon the program foe preparing the 1120S is $189.00. The H&R version is $89.00. For the first time I went away from TT for the 1120S (although I did stay with TT for the individual return; on my wife's Windows 11). While the H&R block is a full $100 cheaper is is not user friendly and I may have made mistakes, however since I have a loss there wont be a problem. BUT, don't know if I will H&R again next year, unless TT tries to force me onto the "cloud" again.

Yes, you can deduct the amount of health insurance premiums you paid in 2025 on your itemized deductions. They are not exactly matched to your Form 1095-A because it's normal to pay this way. Most monthly payments are made in the previous month to be paid on time.   @Rubenjames00 

Hi, I am trying to move my desktop TT 2024 filed tax file from my windows 10 computer to my new windows 11 computer and 2025 TT says the file is too big!!   I need it to pull in all the data from last year to perform my 2025 taxes correctly.  How can I get it to work?  Thanks!  

@WTigner    I agree but it's the way they've organized it recently for the Online users.   they show all the stuff you've used before at the top of the page....then you have to "know" (somehow) to click on the text that displays the rest of the potential menu items down below.  Ridiculous!  And not intuitive either.   They should just show the whole menu from the start....even if they continue to show the same items used last/this year at the top...always keep the full menu available.

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

Some good news - the 2025 NJ PAS-1 application no longer asks for the value from NJ-1040 Line 20b. Which is good, since TurboTax has NOT fixed the issue with Line 20b for another year. You can still override line 20b with the right amount if you need to.
