Please clarify your question.   Are you in TurboTax Online, or are you using the Desktop version. Did you receive a 1095-A? A 1095-A can't be uploaded into TurboTax.  Did you mean you printed it out? Did you enter the 1095-A into TurboTax? What is the error message that you are getting when you're trying to file.? @Ryan_garcia1 

You established a rental activity on Schedule E to record rental income.    In TurboTax Online, establish the rental activity by following these steps:    Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal. Down the left side of the screen, click on Wages & income. Scroll down to Rentals, Royalties, and Farm.  Click down arrow to the right. Select Start / Revisit to the right of Rental Properties and Royalties. At the screen Here's rental property info, select Add income to report rental income. At the screen Here's rental property info, select Add expense or asset to report rental expense. Select Add expense or asset to establish the rental property asset. Answer the questions to establish the rental property asset and compute depreciation on the rental property asset. Rental property income is reported on Schedule E Supplemental Income and Loss.  See also this TurboTax Help.      

@mhusenits You indicated that you are using the TurboTax desktop editions.  When you are in the File section of the program and in the section for e-filing the state tax return, there is a screen that asks if you want to Pay with credit card or Pay with Federal Refund.  It is clearly shown that the Pay with Federal Refund option has a $40 service charge.  You must have selected this option by mistake. Go back to the start of the File section and review each screen as you will come to a screen that shows you can remove this $40 charge.    

Generally most states use the Federal Adjusted Gross Income, Form 1040 line 11, as the adjusted gross income for the state return.  It might be different for your state, you would need to see your state's forms or you can give us more information and we can assist you more.     How do I find last year's AGI?

I am not talking about the $25 fee for e-filing the state...that has always been the case. I mentioned this AND that I purchased the software in my previous replies....READ!!! I am talking specifically about the $40 processing fee. You a bot? Don't you read and comprehend? Turbotax should not be charging any additional processing fees AFTER you purchase the software....that's just plain greedy. You can all suck it! I will definitely be using another software next year!

I agree TT is at FAULT because my foreign taxes paid last year (2024 return) were not automatically picked up by TurboTax Premier version. Nor was there any notice given by TT to deal with Foreign Taxes paid separately after carefully putting all the brokerage information login into TT for the proper year-end tax data transfer into TT.  TT should have said you need to file FORM 1116. Now the BIG QUESTION has TT FIXED this problem yet for Tax Year 2025 (current)????

I spoke with a Turbo Tax representative this morning and after going through all the standard checks she  preceded to tell me they are aware of the issue and still working on an update. An hour wasted to hear what I have already read online. No estimate as to when they will have an update

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. IRS Schedule 1-A https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/f1040s1a--dft.pdf   Need to see it? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/preview-turbotax-online-return-filing/L77WCkvnu_US_en_US?uid=m681fkhr   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
