In order to qualify for TurboTax Free, specific requirements must be met.  Was your daughter paid as an employee with a W-2 form? If so, as long as she doesn't have any other credits that are not supported under the free edition, she should be able to use that program.   However, if she was paid as an independent contractor and paid on a 1099-NEC form, she would have additional forms (Schedule C and self-employment taxes) that need to be completed as part of her tax return.   Please see what qualifies as a simple tax return for TurboTax Free Edition for details on which returns would qualify.   @LDSmith   

No, you don't need a corrected W-2. Report the amount from your W-2 Box 14, and select "overtime" in the dropdown category.   Later in the interview, you will be asked to confirm that the amount reported is correct. The interview will state your W-2 shows  $XXX  in overtime pay, but you can change it if the qualified overtime pay is different. Check the box I need to change this amount.   Note, only the "half" pay from time-and-a-half (the overtime premium) is deductible.  There is also an income phaseout (this starts at $150,000 for single filers and $300,000 for married filing jointly).   Here is an article you may find helpful: No Tax on Overtime Explained: Qualified Overtime Deduction Rules for 2025

Thanks for your response.  The problem is that on the Oklahoma tax return, the gambling winnings amount was recorded on the correct line and in the correct column.  The exact same amount was also included on a line called taxable income and in the Oklahoma column, thereby doubling my income made in Oklahoma and doubling the tax liability.  I have checked my federal return and cannot find where gambling winnings are also called taxable income. I wonder if amending my Oklahoma return would afford any opportunity to delete the taxable income line? I will appreciate any further help you can provide. Thanks, Dan  

The thread started with the tax returns for 2024, but the problem of TT computing an "excess accumulation" penalty when the correct RMD has been taken is still not resolved in the TT app if you have two or more accounts with RMDs and you took more out of one account and less out of another (as you are permitted to do) to achieve your total RMD.  People have figured out how to get around the problem (see the post by DaveF1006), but that's not the same as TT actually fixing the problem.
