To find this number, you typically look at your Ohio IT 1040 and Schedule of Adjustments. You would start by looking at the Ohio AGI: Look at Ohio IT 1040, line 3.   Add back Business Income: If you took the Business Income Deduction, you must add it back for school district purposes. Find the amount from Ohio Schedule of Adjustments, Line 11 (the deduction amount) and add it back to your Line 3 amount. If you had no business income deductions, your modified adjusted gross income the same amount reported on line 3 on the Ohio IT 1040.   If you are in TurboTax online and can't see your Ohio IT 1040, go to:   Tax Tools Tools View Tax summary Look on the third line of that form for the AGI amount.  If you took a Business income Deduction on your Ohio return, subtract that from the AGI amount to determine your modified adjusted gross income to report to the school district.

To add your 1099 you will need to know what type of 1099 it is.   To start select Federal>>Income>>then depending on which type of 1099 it is, look for the sections below.   If it is a 1099-R, you will add it in the retirement section.   If it is a 1099-NEC, 1099-Misc, or 1099-k, it will go under 1099 Misc and Other Common Income.  Depending on why you received the 1099, you may need to upgrade to TurboTax Home and Business or TurboTax Premium in order to report self-employment income.   

You and your family member should agree on what percentage of the SLPC and enrollment premium  you’ll claim on your return, and what percentage they'll claim on theirs. You can use any percent you choose from 0% to 100%, as long as you agree and it all adds up to 100%.   Here is an article that may be helpful: I'm on my parents' 1095-A form.

@snehari wrote: So you mean to say that if a child had a $100 gain on a UTMA account, they need to file a separate return? That is ludicrous. Interest from a UTMA account is the child's unearned income.  If all income for the child in 2025 is unearned income and it is $1,350 or less, they do not need to file a tax return.

Several  states do not have a state income tax.  So these states will not show up in certain drop down lists.   Leave boxes 15, 16, and 17 blank when you enter a W-2 for these states.   Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming

Yes, while there is no standard description for overtime, that description sounds like overtime (use you last paystub of the year to ensure you agree with the figures).   Here is an article you may find helpful: No Tax on Overtime Explained: Qualified Overtime Deduction Rules for 2025

Nine states — Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming — have no state income taxes.   As your state Tennessee has no state income tax, it is not in the drop down menu of Box 15 of form W-2. Just leave boxes 15 and 16 blank even if TN is listed in box 15 and box 16 is filled with an amount on your form W-2.

"Can't be true----"   Per the IRS: https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/when-to-expect-your-refund-if-you-claimed-the-earned-income-tax-credit-or-additional-child-tax-credit  

No, $100 of a gain from a UTMA account is not a job.  As @VanessaA mentioned, if they have only investment income, you can enter it on the Form 8814.  Further, the Kiddie Tax does not apply if the child has unearned income of $2,700 or less.
