That box is irrelevant unless you are trying to get earned income credit.

Oregon credit for ABLE account contributions is limited due to AGI. Turbo Tax is using wrong amount on our return.

I am attempting to understand why line "k" in Part 1 has a 66% reduction to actual dividends. There doesn't seem to be any method of understanding this result and from various other sources I suspect that the haircut is too severe. How does one get to this calculation?

Thank you!!! You’ve restored my loyalty and love for Turbo Tax. Submitting my file and having you investigate and resolve was a huge blessing given the delays and downtime with this issue. I hope all users resolve their problems as well. In all the decades that I’ve used TurboTax to file corporate (business) and personal returns, I don’t recall ever having an issue that an update didn’t resolve quickly. So this was a very frustrating year for this.

I saw the message and did not upgrade. However, unlike others, I was unable to get 1099-B from my Chase bank. Anyone else have this problem? I really don't want to upgrade. Help!

My rejection email from TurboTax has only the following for a guide to what happened, but I do not know how or what to fix: "/Return/ReturnData/IRS1040X/NetChangeOrigRptOrPrevAdjGrp/TotalAdditionalDeductionsAmt - Data in the return is missing or invalid. Please double check your entries." Any assistance will be much appreciated.

(DESKTOP DELUXE) -- I downloaded two Schwab accounts for the taxpayer. I see that both uploaded successfully, totals tie to the actual 1099s. I go back to the input section and I see all the numbers by account. Two 1099s for dividends, Two 1099s for interest and two 1099-B for securities. All the input pages (where one enters info by category) have the imported information. I agreed it to the actual 1099 pdfs. So all is GOOD so I thought. So now I review FORMS. Thankfully all the 1099B information is on the Forms 8949 and Schedule D. Many transactions and the totals tie to the sum of the two 1099Bs. What a relief, many transactions and quite impressive all is good. The Problem >> 1040 Schedule B (and the Form 1040) only includes interest and dividends from one of the accounts despite it being in the input sections of income. I deleted the 1099s for both account and re-imported. No change still missing the interest and dividends from that one account. I delete the 1099 div and Int for that one account and re-enter manually. Now all the information is on the Schedule B and the Form 1040. YOU MUST REVIEW THE FORMS TO BE SURE ALL THE IMPORTED INFO HAS BEEN COLLECTED. Never had this problem before. I've always built a spreadsheet before importing summarizing the totals from the multiple 1099 imports and compare to the final 1040 forms. Never had this issue in the almost 10 years I've been using desktop Turbo Tax. Anyone else ?? Thank you - KB

In January 2026, I contribute 7,000 and 7,500 for 2025 and 2026. My broker restricted the money for 1 week to allow me converting it to my Roth IRA account. Your system said that it means that you first contributed money to a traditional IRA, but then later moved your money to a Roth IRA. This is sometimes referred to as a "recharacterization." A recharacterization such as this is different from a Roth conversion because your Roth IRA contribution is for the same year as the original traditional IRA contribution. So, the money would be both contributed to the traditional IRA and subsequently moved to the Roth IRA during the time period of January 1, 2025 until April 15, 2026 unless you file an extension in which case you would have until October 15, 2026. According to my broker’s action, it was a conversion not a recharacterization. And my research said once you convert a non-deductible traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, you cannot move it back to a traditional IRA. In Feb. 2027 my broker will issue 1099 B to me for 2025 and 2026 conversions. When filing 2026 income tax return, I will have problem with your software. Please remember to modify your 2026 software about IRA contribution when you make it. Broker was only held money for 1 week. Then I can convert the money.

Can you clarify what you are referring to?
Mortgage interest is reported on a 1098. You can enter the information on the Deductions & Credits section of the TurboTax software. Mortgage interest is an itemized deduction. It will only affect your return if you are itemizing versus taking the standard deduction. Taxpayers generally take whichever is most beneficial to them in reducing their taxable income.

As long as you meet the qualifications for the senior deduction, it is automatically applied to your tax return. You don't need to take any additional steps. Qualifications: -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., $175k single, $250k joint 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. Once your tax information is entered into the system, you can see the information for the Senior Deduction reflected on Schedule 1A, Part V, Line 37 For more information, see Deductions for Seniors.

The “senior deduction” is added automatically by the software based on the date of birth and filing status you entered into MY INFO. You do not need to take any extra steps to enter it. (And…the new senior deduction has nothing to do with whether you are getting Social Security)
The deduction is not on the same line as your standard deduction. It is shown separately.on line 13b.
2025 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS
SINGLE $15,750 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)
MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $15,750 (65 or older/legally blind +1600)
MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $31,500 (65 or older/legally blind + $1600)
HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $23,625 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)
For 2025 through 2028 there is an extra deduction amount of up to $6000 per individual 65 or older filing Single, MFJ, or HOH which is phased out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers.
(The deduction phases out completely at $175.000 Single or HOH, or $250,000 joint)
The $6,000 senior deduction will be calculated on 1040 Schedule 1-A page 2 Part V Enhanced Deduction for Seniors which goes to 1040 line 13b. It is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e. Turbo Tax automatically includes it.

If you are not getting the senior deduction it is because
Your date of birth in MY INFO shows that you were not 65 by the end of 2025
Your income is too high
You are filing married filing separately
