If you are filing as Married Filing Separately you are not eligible for the deduction.  If you are Single and your AGI is over $150,000 or Married Filing Jointly and your AGI is over $250,000 you are not eligible for the deduction.   If you are age 65 or older and meet the requirement, the additional deduction is automatically added on your federal tax return.   Standard deductions for 2025 Single - $15.750 add $2,000 if age 65 or older Married Filing Separately - $15,750 add $1,600 if age 65 or older Married Filing Jointly - $31,500 add $1,600 for each spouse age 65 or older Head of Household - $23,625 add $2,000 if age 65 or older   New Bonus Standard Deduction (OBBB): An additional $6,000 deduction for taxpayers 65 and older.

Income limitations: It phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers.

We can't see any of your details.  Purchases over $2500 must be depreciated although there are a number of methods available depending on your situation.   Is this for 100% business use, and are you using Turbotax Self-employment version for self-employment or a single member LLC, or are you using the Business program?  If this is shared use (partly personal and partly business use), how did you calculate the business use percentage and did you enter it correctly? 

Currently, TurboTax supports the manual entry of IRS Form 1099-DA. We are in the process of enhancing our CSV import and upload features to make this process more seamless.    Timeline: We expected the new CSV import functionality to be available in February. At this time, no further timeline has been released. Supported Documents: Once live, the import/upload feature will support both 1099-DA and DigitalAssetGainLoss files. If you are ready to file now, you can still enter your information manually. Otherwise, thank you for your patience while we get these automated tools ready for you!

Use 1040X and amend.   Since you used desktop software, go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Tax Forms>Amend a Return   Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return  

Yes, I am going to call the Oklahoma State Pension & Retirement System that issued the 1099-R and verify when they transmit the data to the Tax Commission. I always file in early February and have for more than 30 years without issue until 2024. Next step after that is to talk to the Tax Commission and see where the breakdown is at, Turbo Tax e-file, Pension System, Tax Commission, etc.   Side note:  I use the Guided TurboTax function and always have. Data gets transfered into the Oklahoma Tax Return by Turbo Tax and I verify it is correct. I never have had to add anything, or change anything, to what TurboTax put into the Oklahoma tax return and TurboTax finds no errors in both the Federal and State returns. THX for helping..... will appreciate any further info....    

@Odin1970  If you have used turbotax in the past and still have your files or access to your account, it would be easiest to do it in order.   To amend your MFS returns from 2023 to joint, you pick one of the MFS returns, change the status to joint, and add all the other's spouse's income and deductions.  When that return is submitted, it will automatically cancel the other MFS return.  You have to be careful about how you report tax payments and refunds, so the adjustments come out correctly.  See this FAQ. https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/amend-tax-return/amend-married-filing-separately-returns-married/L4b2nRmI2_US_en_US   For 2024, you will not use the amended 2023 joint return as a base, you will again pick one of the MFS returns and amend it to joint.  It would be best to use the same spouse as the #1 spouse on the amended return.   Then for 2025, you can start by using the amended 2024 joint return as the base. 

Thanks @LeticiaF1 .  I did the "fix it" thing and refiled (as I stated in my original post) and it was rejected again - several times.     I'm very disappointed that the intuit quality control allowed that release with bugs in it.  Hopefully those in intuit are keeping in mind the fact that software bugs and errors can have very serious consequences for your users, not to mention all the time wasted refiling and trying to determine whether a user entry error was made.   Will there be a formal announcement to your users when the thoroughly tested fix has been implemented and released?

You should go back through the vehicle expense questions again, and remove any answers you've input with respect to the AMT. Pay attention to where it says, "If this doesn't apply to you, leave the box blank," such as for 'AMT Basis' and other AMT-related questions. The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) generally only kicks in for taxpayers who have above $500,000 in adjusted gross income.    Make sure the acquisition date you enter for this vehicle is 08-16-2025; you will not be able to claim any loss on this business vehicle before you owned it, even if you worked in the line of business before you purchased the vehicle. The business loss does not extend any further back than the purchase date of the vehicle.   You'll want to double check your inputs for your business use of vehicle timeline as well. If you state that you drove the vehicle 100% for Uber in Jan - March and then totaled it, but you also enter the acquisition date of the vehicle as 08-16-2025, then that will kick up an error, because March predates August.   FAQ - TurboTax Business Use of Vehicles
