The new 6,000/12,000 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 if you qualify.  And your Social Security can still be taxable as before.     The maximum deduction is $6,000 for each person 65+. The phaseout is 6% of the amount by which MAGI exceeds $75,000 for single or $150,000 for married filing jointly (MFJ). The MAGI is normally the same as your AGI but with some Foreign items from Form 2555 added back in. On a joint return the phaseout is calculated separately for each person, so the 6% phases out for each spouse.

you misunderstand or are doing something wrong becuase the $1150 excess is being withdrawn from your post tax contributions to your HSA. both HSA worksheets must be marked as family coverage Example her w-2  with code W - HSA $5400 includes $1100 contributed by employer (box 1 of w-2 reduced by $4300 her contribution to HSA)   you directly contribute $4300 to your HSA, which you enter in Turbotax  the total contributions to the two accounts is now $9700, which exceeds the family maximum of $8550 by $1150. you indicate to Turbotax in your HSA worksheet that you are withdrawing the $1150 excess FROM YOUR ACCOUNT before 4/15/2026. as such, your HSA deduction is reduced from 4300 to $3150. You are not taxed on the $1150 because you have not gotten a deduction for it. so the both of you have had HSA contributions for 2025 of $5400 +3150 =8550 of which you actually paid $7450. (for some reason congress made the family contribution $50 less than two self-only contributions   if you withdraw the excess from your spouse's account it will be taxed (but then you withdraw nothing from your account so you get a deduction of $4300 box 1 of spouse's w-2 is reduced by $4300 her contributions  then there is the $1150 that is taxable  and your deduction of $4300 for direct contributions the net is  $7450. the same as anove  

You probably have to wait a week or 2 for the forms to be ready to efile.  I think last year was Jan 6 .  For 2023 it was Jan 10.  Are you going to efile or mail the forms?  If you efile the 1096 is not sent but is only for your own records.      

@amharrington2000   I don't understand your  post.  Nothing has changed.  You can always skip around and enter what you have then leave and come back when you get more forms.  Both in the Online version and Desktop programs.  

@user17672869738 , (a) As a US person , working / living in the US for more than 30 days, you would not be able to use FEIE for yourself.  You would be able to use foreign tax credit ( FTC ) for any income that is taxed by both US and your foreign home country ( assuming that this is not Canada or Mexico --  for which rules are different) (b) Assuming that your marriage is recognized by the USA and the country where is a national/resident of , you should be able to ( along with an ITIN) treat her as a resident of US ( for tax purposes).  Thus her world income would come under the purview of the US taxation. This should also allow her income  ( assuming she meets the Physical Presence Test ) to be eligible for  FEIE. (c) Assuming ( b) is satisfied you should be able to use MFJ and standard deduction.  (d) Just out of curiosity, why do you shuttle between the two countries and work only for a short period in the USA --- why not have a foreign tax home ?  Because in such a case your foreign sourced income would  also be eligible FEIE.  (e) Note that FEIE does not , by itself, reduce/ eliminate  the SECA/FICA  -- there must be a totalization agreement between the US and that foreign country. Is there more I can do for you ?

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

unlikely to get a response from Intuit here or any different information already provided on the other threads about this.  No one knows exact dates beyond what is implied in the form availability tool or where shown in the app, tho 1099B says "Feb maybe sooner" and 1099R says "asap". https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product=Turbotax_online&bu=cg   Agree there is an issue with email notification signup, from what I can see it keeps referring to Form 3903 for Moving Expenses.   If you're still trying to do estimates for 2025 then either try using Forms mode, use different s/w, or use a different online calculator like this https://www.dinkytown.net/java/1040-tax-calculator.html

There are two important tax dates in the year: December of the tax year and January 15 of the filing year. The former allows one to adjust income/deductions to a favorable balance. The second is for the fourth estimated tax payment, which triggers penalties if not in compliance. Now, I understand the tax forms may not be ready for printing or for electronic submission until late January. However, the "program" should be completely ready by mid December to allow for the above scenarios. They had a full 8 months to work on that (since April 15), and with little change in the tax code. What is INTUIT's excuse? Last year, things were updated much earlier so I had no complaints. This year, I have to use FreeTaxUSA to do all my estimates because TurboTax does not even allow me to work on certain forms. Don't tell me this is related to H-visas or DOGE or the Shutdown!
