The updates are now scheduled to be released with next week's updates, which usually come through Thursday night. "   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-rental-property-depreciation-not-available-as-of-2-1-2025/01/3776732#M1403586   IRS released instructions for this form on 2/11   https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i4562.pdf

Did you buy a License Code for the Desktop program or the Online version?    If you bought the Desktop download program did you install it?   If you switch to the Online version you have to pay for Online separately.   It is not the same as the program you bought.  Are you on a Mac or Windows?   We can try to help you start the program on your computer.   I just saw a post about applications.  

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    

From TurboTax - Where's Form 8949? Form 8949 (Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets) records the details of your capital asset (investment) sales or exchanges. Part I of the 8949 shows the short-term transactions (held less than a year) and Part II shows the long-term transactions. When you enter investment sales or exchanges from Form 1099-B, 1099-DA, or 1099-S in TurboTax, we'll automatically fill out Form 8949 and transfer the info to Schedule D. Capital gains and losses (Form 8949), manual navigation path:  Tax Home   Federal   Wages & Income   Investments and Savings  Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B, 1099-DA)   Form 4797 is populated after you enter the sale of a business property resulting in ordinary income treatment. You can navigate directly to enter a transaction via:  Tax Home  Federal  Wages & Income   Other Business Situations > Sale of Business Property You may also enter relevant sales in other interview screens under Wages & Income (depending on the nature of the business and property sale) including:  Rental, Royalties, and Farm  Investments and Savings Self-Employment S-Corps, Partnerships, and Trusts Less Common Income > Installment Sales   See also: IRS - About Form 4797, Sales of Business Property

You cannot use the license code to pay for using online TurboTax.     We see people get confused and they keep logging in to online software which will require them to pay at the end.   You need to use the desktop software.   One way to tell if you are using the right software---your tool bar.   Online software has the toolbar in a black vertical column on the left side of the screen.   Desktop software has the tools up on the top of your TT screen.     You appear to be posting from online software instead of the desktop download software that the license code is for.  If you are using online, you are using the wrong program.  You need to switch to the desktop software to get what you paid for.  You have to download it, update it and open it up from your own hard drive to use it.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/choosing-a-product/help/how-do-i-switch-from-turbotax-online-to-the-turbotax-software/00/26129    

It is expected to be available next week with the end of the week updates (which typically occur on Thursday nights), so please check back at the end of next week.     We understand the importance of these forms, and the developers are working hard to roll out the updates.

I gave the agent I was on the phone with the token number, there was still no resolve and everyone I have talked to has been totally bewildered with no advice.  After a week of messaging, calling and getting no where, the final agent told me I needed to purchase the TurboTax software and said it would work that way.  I am not taking the chance.  I have gone with a different company, was done with my taxes in a couple hours with no issues whatsoever, at less than half the price of turbotax.  My taxes are now filed and complete. Very doubtful that I will return to TurboTax over this issue, you would think a company so large that makes so much money off of their customers would have tried a little harder to find resolution.  There are many others having the same problem.
