Did you receive a letter from the IRS or state?     I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE IRS/STATE     TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or your state after your return was filed, so no one at TurboTax knows about a letter you received from the IRS or the state.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-audit/turbotax-audit-support/L6AcMoNFD_US_en_US?uid=m5z7by9u     https://intuit.taxaudit.com/audit-defense/help/contact     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/got-cp2000-notice-irs/L7Da6em2t_US_en_US?uid=m4of6ngd

Your AGI is on line 11 of your 2024 Form 1040.   You need to enter that in order to e-file 2025.   Your 2025 AGI will also be on line 11 of your 2025 Form 1040.   And...we do not know what you mean by "I only get 1099's"   since there are over a dozen kinds of 1099's.  What kind do you have?   SSA1099?   1099R? 1099G?  1099B?   1099NEC?   etc etc etc.

If you could provide different evidence that the Retirement Savings - IRA Calculator Tool in TT Home and Business Other Tax Situations is buggy, I can submit a higher investigation ticket. In that screenshot, you have the spouse and taxpayer flipped upside down where you're entering the contribution amount; I assume that's because you do not agree with 219(c)(2)(B) per earlier discussion, which is the logic programmed into TurboTax. See below, for a high salary taxpayer and spouse with $0 income, there is no problem in the tool calculating separate IRA contribution amounts for both:     The purpose of the IRA Calculator Tool, is for figuring if your MAGI / retirement plans at work, etc. would qualify you for additional deductions for contributions to a Traditional IRA made after the tax-year end, but before the due date of the tax return, the time period in which you can still make a "late" contribution to the IRA for a tax savings this year. It does not flow into the IRA worksheets, it's for planning purposes. Still, if there are material errors you can help me identify in the functioning of the calculator, they should be investigated.   In another screenshot, you had $7,678 as a hypothetical contribution For A, when the combined max contribution for both A and B was $7,678 . Since there are no joint IRAs, even Spousal IRAs are owned and controlled separately by the spouse, even if fully funded by the taxpayer, so it's important to remember that each spouse's IRA account contribution limits should be figured and entered separately.    I appreciate the discussion in this thread; thanks for helping everyone think about their retirement options. 

If you filed OR as a part year resident last year, it will be part of your tax file. You can open your 2024 tax return, see How do I view, download, or print a prior-year tax return? If you need to file last year, you can use the software to create the return.

It depends. First be sure you have the correct birth date for each spouse. Next you can preview your tax return because it's not part of the standard deduction. It is a separate deduction from income and not a credit. See the instructions below to check for it on your tax return.   From the left rail menu in TurboTax Online, select Tax Tools (You may have to scroll down on the left rail menu.) Select Tax Tools On the drop-down select Tools On the pop-up menu titled “Tools Center”, select View Tax Summary  On the left sidebar, select Preview my 1040  See Line 13-B on your 1040 for the amount. Additional deductions from Schedule 1-A, line 38 For TurboTax Desktop, change to 'Forms' and review the forms.     To qualify, the following must apply: If your income is above $75,000 ($150,000 if Married filing jointly) the bonus deduction decreases by $.06 for every dollar over the relevant amount.  This deduction is available whether you itemize or take the standard deduction. If your filing status is married filing separately you are not eligible for this deduction. This bonus deduction is ONLY for those over 65, it does not apply to those who are blind and under 65.  

You won't be able to file an amendment until your tax return is fully processed and you receive your refund or your balance due is deducted from your account.  In addition, the 1040X used to amend your tax return isn’t available yet but should be ready by the end of this week.   You can check when the 1040X form will be available by reviewing the TurboTax article When will my individual tax forms be available in TurboTax?   Refer to the TurboTax articles: Amending Your Income Tax Return and How to Correct Federal Tax Returns for additional information.   Once you file your amendment, you can check the status of your amended tax return at Where’s My Amended Return?
