TurboTax automatically applies the last-month rule, if the current year (now: 2025) does not have HDHP coverage for every month. Only then does TurboTax ask about the coverage in 2024 and step through the last-month rule processing.   And, last month only applies in case of changes to HDHP (not in case of a single change) - I am sorry but I don't understand what this means. What does "single change" refer to?

Your estimated tax payments will serve as a credit against your Federal tax liability and have to be entered on your tax return.   In TurboTax Online, you can enter estimated taxes you paid by following these steps: Open your tax return Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then Deductions & Credits Navigate to the list of Deductions and Credits  Locate the section named Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click on the arrow on the right  Click on Start next to Estimated Tax Payments On the next page, click Start next to Federal estimated taxes for 2025 (form 1040ES)

The deduction is there.  It is based on your date of birth in My Info You will only see the base Standard or Itemized deduction on ‌line 12e. However, the Senior Deduction is reflected on line 13b of Form 1040.  It is reflected on Schedule 1A, Part V, Line 37 Social Security is still being taxed as it was in the past; however, there's a new $6,000 deduction for individuals older than 65 years old.  Also, a $12,000 deduction would apply to couples who qualify.     There's a new $6,000 deduction for individuals older than 65 years old.  Also, a $12,000 deduction would apply to couples who qualify.   This deduction is for qualified individuals. Age: You must be 65 or older by the end of the tax year (e.g., born before Jan 2, 1961, for 2025 returns). Income Limits: Your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) must be below certain thresholds (e.g., $75k single, $150k Married Filing Jointly for 2025), with deductions phasing out above those levels. Benefit: Up to $6,000 (single) or $12,000 (joint) Additional standard deduction to reduce taxable income.  Deduction phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 ($150,000 for joint filers).  For more information, see Deductions for Seniors.        

It is automatic based on your age. It is not part of your Standard Deduction. The new Senior Deduction is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e. The 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 with any other sch 1-A amounts. Turbo Tax automatically includes it if you qualify. If you are married you have to file a Joint return.

Use your APO as your address, to change this:   Open your return Click "My Info" from the left side of your screen Scroll down to edit your Mailing address Select Military (APO, FPO, or DPO) as type of mailing address For City select "APO," "FPO," or "DPO" (Army, Fleet, or Diplomatic Post Office) Select the correct region code for the state field For your Physical City/Country do not enter the actual city or country you are in If you have a ZIP code or nine-digit code enter it     

Thank you very much for the heads up.  I appreciate it.  It works!   You would think that someone at Intuit/TurboTax Support would have the common sense to post the solution.   Where are their "CHAMPS".  Totally, clueless!   Thank you again for your assistance.
