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.

No, it doesn't mean there is anything wrong.   Every return is different, so you can't really compare your situation to anyone else's.   The timing is hardly ever first filed, first processed.   Just keep checking your state's refund site to get the most up to date information.

You used the term "manually overriding".    Are you referring to the actual "override" feature of TurboTax, or do you just mean you edited some data?    If some data on a form was not readily editable, and if you used the actual override feature to change it, be aware that it may not let you efile.

To get your refund?   Only the IRS can tell you.   Turbo Tax just gives an estimated date of 21 days.   When did you file?   Was your return Accepted?   When you efile you get back 2 emails.  The first email only confirms the transmission.  The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.  And check your spam folder for them.   When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc.  What does it say?

It depends on what kind of Form 1099 it is, but if it's listed on your 1099 and there is no place to enter it on the 1099 screen, you can always enter just the tax withheld and paid separately.    Deductions & Credits Estimates and Other Taxes Paid Other Income Taxes START Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099 START Select Yes and continue to the screen where you will select the state and enter the amount.   Please verify that you are entering the 1099 in the correct section.  If you are unsure, please tell us what you received the 1099 for. Is it a 1099-MISC or 1099-R or something else?    @pmsmithelo 

Yes, even if the property taxes were not reported on Form 1098, you can still claim the amount of real estate taxes paid.  You could find your amount by checking with your county assessor's office.     Where do I enter my real estate (property) taxes in TurboTax?

Yes sorry.  The Online version is different than the Desktop program.  You probably noticed several other big differences.   Online has less features and no Forms Mode.  You can only do 1 return per account.    Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2025 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done.  In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something.  You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.  

see the work around others have posted.      Key appears to be to ALLOW TT to find devices on the network.    but that message only seems to pop up once ( and I always hit BLOCK)   but changing to a different browser seems to force that message again.
