If you received a 1099G for unemployment benefits it must be entered here:   Enter your 1099G in Federal>Wages & Income>Unemployment Go through the screens very carefully, making sure  to enter any federal/state tax you had withheld from the unemployment. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/entering-importing/help/where-do-i-report-a-1099-g-for-unemployment-or-paid-family-leave/00/26530   Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)     See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return -   CURRENT YEAR https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk     Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/Filing/Individuals/Amended-Returns-(Form-1040-X)/Wheres-My-Amended-Return-1  

No, the extra hours are not overtime that qualify for the deduction under the new tax law. The deduction for overtime applies only to the amount over your regular pay rate. If your regular pay is $30/hour and you get $45/hour for overtime, you would get a deduction for the extra $15/hour. But you still pay tax on all the pay at the regular $30/hour rate. The number of hours that you work doesn't really matter. It's the time and a half that gives you a deduction. An exempt employee is usually not going to qualify for the deduction for overtime.  

Sorry not using Turbo Tax.    It's  too late to start a 2023 or prior online return or use the mobile app, either on Turbo Tax or the IRS.   And too late to efile 2023. To do a prior year return you have to buy the Desktop program here, https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.   If you have a simple return and want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand.  Here are some basic forms..... Here is the 2023 1040 return https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040--2023.pdf or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors, https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s--2023.pdf 2023 1040 Instructions https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040gi--2023.pdf 2023 EIC and Tax Tables https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040tt--2023.pdf Schedules 1-3 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s1--2023.pdf https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s2--2023.pdf https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s3--2023.pdf Don’t forget your state. And you will have to print and mail your returns.  So be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing. Then when you file for 2024 you need to enter 0 for the 2023 AGI since you are filing 2023 late.

If you worked in IL you may need to pay IL tax, but if you are a non-resident alien, you cannot use TurboTax.   If you are a non-resident alien, your return must be filed on Form 1040NR, which cannot be prepared using TurboTax.  You can use TT’s partner, sprintax: https://www.sprintax.com/non-resident-alien-tax-1040nr-turbotax.html IRS —HOW TO DETERMINE RESIDENCY STATUS FOR TAX https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/determining-an-individuals-tax-residency-status#:~:text=If you are not a,January 1 – December 31).
