I appreciate your help RJS and insight into this issue. I did receive a notice and the notice states that IF I made an error, then complete an amended return. The letter does not give any specifics/basis for the calculations the IRS made for their determination that I claimed mortgage interest greater than is allowed. I have called the IRS twice and have a call for Jan 5th since they will be able to access my return then. I have never switched to the forms when using the desktop version, but will try if I need to separate the 8a and 8b amounts.   Thanks

You said "they only put one kid down for my child tax credit".   What makes you think you can/should claim more than one.  Claiming children, in some situations can be complicated.  There are special rules in divorce/separation (including never married), unmarried  parents living together and other relatives in the household situations.    If they "messed up",  go back to them and straighten it out before they actually file your return.     

You may have more than one TurboTax account.  See this TurboTax support FAQ for how to view all of your accounts - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx   To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/ Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)   If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.   Go to this IRS website for free transcripts of a federal tax return - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript   For a fee of $30 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

The suggestion to clear data is not deleting a return. As far as I can tell, there is not a Delete function available within the product. I used the operating system's file delete functionality and then created a new return. 

I'm not on Advantage but what I could tell it just gives the exact same s/w no more than 2-3 days before it's widely available anyway.  Locking in pricing is questionable as to your point there are many discounts below Intuit's pricing whether it's Amazon etc or brokerage offers.   But I suppose it does provide other benefits...   https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/advantage/?_gl=1*vxv2p7*_gcl_au*NTgwMjMzODAxLjE3NjA0MDk5Nzk.*_ga*OTk5ODU4NzUuMTc2MDU2Nzc4NA..*_ga_J7JHVCT5CT*czE3NjczNTU3MDEkbzkwJGcxJHQxNzY3MzU1NzEzJGo0OCRsMCRoMA..

January 1, 2026, still nothing. Charged $70 in Nov.  and it is useless. I needed to know how IRA withdrawals would affect my SS taxable.  Why can't I plug in numbers to test out different amounts. Not even a test version labeled test only. Nothing. Dead stop.   Why should I file a dispute on my credit card for fraud and beg for my money back? Just give me what I paid for.  Even a clearly labeled test version. How hard is that? Excel1040.com and FreeTax USA were able to show my SS taxable based on various IRA withdrawals amounts.  

@singardia You are posting to a very old thread that has had no activity since 2019.  The original poster in this thread was asking about using a vehicle inspection fee as an itemized deduction on Schedule A.   That is not your issue.   You state that you are a rideshare driver and want to enter a business expense (inspection fee) on a Schedule C.   Tax Tips for Uber, Lyft, Sidecar and other Car Sharing Drivers FAQ  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/Self-Employment-Taxes/Tax-Tips-for-Uber--Lyft--Sidecar-and-other-Car-Sharing-Drivers/INF28820.html      https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/enter-lyft-tax-information/L68Y2Ze1T_US_en_US   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/self-employment-taxes/self-employed-expenses-deduct/L37ZS1B8T_US_en_US
