If you claimed a Section 179 deduction for any new assets, the amount of that depreciation should appear under your Business Expenses >> Assets and Depreciation in the Depreciation column.   This expense also appears on Schedule C Line 13 and on the Depreciation and Amortization Report in the Section 179 column.   To see the forms in your return, see How do I get a PDF of my return?

We cannot see your screen, your return or your account.  Have you entered ALL of your 2024 information?  All your income, etc.?  Your question is posting from online Live Deluxe---so you could be seeking help from the tax expert you are paying an extra fee for.   You can arrange for the Live help you are paying the extra fee for with your questions from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Pacific time. https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/product-setup/connect-tax-expert-turbotax-live/L73wOZD5D_US_en_US?uid=m8zw1pbb       There are a lot of variables that affect your refund or tax due including how much you earned, how much tax you had withheld, your filing status, the number of dependents you claim, your deductions and credits, etc.  You may have lost Earned Income Credit or the Child Tax Credit— did a child turn 17?  If you received the EIC last year, remember that changes in the amount you earn have a big effect on the amount of EIC you can get. (Sometimes earning more money means less EIC)  Are you 65 or older ?  If so, your standard deduction is higher. Everyone has a higher standard deduction now so it is harder to use itemized deductions.   And of course, always check your own data entries, looking for errors such as misplaced decimals or extra zeros.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refund-go-compared-last-year/L97JmhUbi_US_en_US?uid=ld9ijm41   Print out 2023  and 2024  and compare them side by side to see what is different.    https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/tax-payments/video-why-would-i-owe-federal-taxes/L3VXudPiN    

Yes, if you have any investment gain or loss shown on the 1099-B you need to file an amended 2024 tax return.   Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk

Try printing out your 2023 and 2024 returns.  Put them side by side and compare them line by line to see what is different.  You might spot something that way.   No one in the user forum can see your tax returns.    

The credit is so you can pay for care so that you (and your spouse if married) can work or go to school full time.  Do you even qualify, if you did not pay for care for the younger child?  Was placing your child in preschool necessary so you could go to work?   Even though you have a care expense, and you can get the credit on your tax return, you can be at risk if audited, unless the placed the child in preschool so you could work.   Assuming you are eligible, this error seems to be a mistake by Turbotax.  The IRS allows you to claim the credit even if you paid $0 for one of your qualifying children.  To get around this, try adding $1 to the second child and reducing the first child's expenses by $1.

First of all, you would had needed to amend through SprintTax, because they handle all non-resident returns, including amended ones. Did you amend through them?   Secondly, if you did amend through SprintTax, they know that there is a tax treaty with Indonesia. TurboTax does not have the ability to prepare 1040 NR or amended ones.   I'd suggest contacting SprintTax here to see if you prepared the amendments correctly. If you have already had your returns preapred by SprintTax, rest assured these were done correctly.
