On the 1095A, I have only zero amounts in Column C. I only have a non-zero amount in column A for the month of January, since I was only covered by a marketplace health plan until Jan 24, 2024. I found a number for Column B using the healthcare.gov site. I've left all other columns blank, yet I have now had 3 rejections from the IRS and am stuck.

To determine if you received PFL, check box 14 on your W-2. If an amount is entered there, then you received Paid Family Leave. Enter your W-2 exactly as you received it in TurboTax. You will be taxed at the Federal level, and not taxed at the State level for these benefits.   Typically, companies that offer paid medical leave or disability do so through a third-party insurer. You may receive a separate W-2 from that insurer to report the PFL income.   Here's more info on Reporting PFL Income.   @bestofluck1     

It depends on what program you are using. See your options here: How do I file an IRS tax extension? - TurboTax Support - Intuit    This will extend the time you have to file your taxes until October 15th, 2025.     Also, you may have to do your state taxes: Do I need to file an extension for my personal state taxes?     Remember, an extension gives you more time to prepare your taxes, but it doesn't extend the time to pay your taxes.  If you have an indication that you will owe taxes, you should make the payment by the original due date of the tax return to avoid additional interest and penalties.   

To file a NY state extension:    New York (NY) – You can e-file an extension through the Department of Taxation and Finance. You can also print an extension with TurboTax that you'll mail in. Start your NY return (if you haven't already done so) and look for the extension question. If you don't see it, step through your NY return again from the beginning. The extension must be filed by April 15 and gives you another 6 months (October 15). If you owe them taxes, submit payment by April 15 to avoid penalties. You can pay when you e-file your extension or pay through their Online Services site.

I'm not sure why you are not seeing the option to enter a major purchase. However, most taxpayers don't benefit by deducting sales taxes as you can only do that in lieu of deducting state income taxes, which is usually more. Also, you need to be able to benefit from itemizing your deductions on your federal return to use the sales tax itemized deduction. The basic standard deduction in 2024 is $14,600 for single filers and $29,200 for married filing joint.   @DanielMcGowan
