Changing Column C would indicate you got an APTC when you didn't.  This does not feel like correct advice to me at all.  I'm really starting to lose faith in TurboTax on this issue.    On a separate thread the advice was to file taxes by mail and include a note.

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. 
For Online version You can preview the 1040 or print the whole return https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/accessing/help/how-do-i-preview-my-turbotax-online-return-before-filing/00/26160 What do you have on 1040 or 1040SR line 13b? See the 1040 …. ,

So at the end of the state process when they ask for AGI, say no I don't have it. then you will get the prompt for IL-Pin. I had the same issue with a week of rejections. I believe in the past the IL-pin was a prompted choice, almost a part of the signature and I've never had this issue in the past. I hope that helps 

I worked up a table of the AGI Phaseout amounts.   This should help you see how much Deduction you should get on 1040 line 13b.    For Single the Phaseout starts at over 75,000 AGI and for Married starts at over 150,000.   

Actual answers from TT's "experts":   Feb 11 (false) Feb 13 (false) Feb 13 or later (unfalsifiable) We Don't Know (unfalsifiable) By this weekend or sooner but no actual date (unfalsifiable)   Depreciation can be easily calculated on FreetaxUSA.com, which charges $0 to file federal taxes.      

These are the scenarios possible: NY resident all year - all taxable income Nonresident of NY: You have $85,000 NY based income and $3k was earned while you were a nonresident from NY sources. You have $85,000 taxable NY income. You have $82k NY income plus $3k earned while living in another state and not working in NY. Then 0 is NY income for the excess. NY tax $82k Part-year resident: You have federal $85k - earned $85k from NY and moved from/to another state -$85k taxable You have  federal $85k - earned $82 in NY and $3k in another state while resident of other state. NY $82k taxable I created a part-year and a nonresident return to find your question. I entered the w2 in the federal section along with the correct NY income.     One key factor is to make your state section of your w2 show the correct states and amounts. You can change the state part of the w2 in the federal  program to reflect your reality for the program to work correctly. The fed and state already have a copy of the real w2. You need the program to understand where you lived and what you earned. All wages in the state section should add to the correct totals.   Open to the federal income section open your w2 scroll down to state income enter NY and NY income for that w2 enter any other state where income was earned, the amount repeat for all relevant forms   Once your w2 is entered for your situation: The program pulls it through and NY shows the correct taxable amount. I indicated $3,000 not earned in NY on my w2 in the federal.  When I moved to NY program, the box asked about the $3,000 being from NY sources while living outside of NY. In my case, the answer is either zero for not earned in NY or $3,000 for earned in NY.   Prepare any non-resident state returns first. Prepare part-year returns based on the order of where you lived, prepare where you live now last. Prepare the NY return.   The NY return will look like it is taxing all of your income for the whole year. It does but then it multiplies it by the percentage that was actually earned in NY to get your actual tax liability.

I use a desktop exclusively and yes, if you wait 2-3 days, it will likely function normally.  I talked to my Schwab Rep; he was aware of the problem last year.  It's Schwab IT that has the issue.  If you can afford to wait, then wait.

In the past when I had a problem with downloading from Schwab, I would work-around by downloading to TT online, then save the TT tax file to my local ... but it seems TT doesn't allow that any longer. So to be clear, you're saying I should wait a few days before downloading to desktop?

So it would be allowed for my self employment income, but not the home office for my W2 work? (Colorado) How can I remove the sheet for the W2 work, or would I just set the values to zero? tryin to get past the flag in Tuurbo tax smart check. Thanks
