Thank you for your response looks like I’ll need to print and mail. I’m just wondering why TurboTax doesn’t support efiling the amended return? Also, looking at documentation it seems like efiling an amended return is supported. 

The TurboTax online editions are only for tax year 2025 and cannot be changed.   To complete and file a 2024 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2024 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/   A 2024 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.

You should file as Married filing Jointly and only file a North Carolina state return to report your income.  Since your husband's only income is disability and it is not subject to federal and state income tax, there is not need for a South Carolina state tax return.

The TurboTax Free online edition is for very simple tax returns that do not require any other form or schedule other than the Form 1040.  If your tax data requires entry on any other form or schedule then you must upgrade to the Deluxe edition or higher.   If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return and start over with a lower priced edition. Click on Switch Products on the lower left side of the program screen while working on the 2025 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over   Go to this TurboTax website for the Free online edition - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/free-edition.jsp   Please Note - TurboTax Online: Important Details about Filing Form 1040 Returns with Limited Credits A Form 1040 return with limited credits is one that's filed using IRS Form 1040 only (with the exception of the specific covered situations described below). Roughly 37% of taxpayers are eligible. If you have a Form 1040 return and are claiming limited credits only, you can file for free yourself with TurboTax Free Edition or TurboTax Live Assisted Basic (if available), or you can file with TurboTax Full Service at the listed price. Situations covered (assuming no added tax complexity): W-2 income Interest or dividends (1099-INT/1099-DIV) that don’t require filing a Schedule B IRS standard deduction Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Child Tax Credit (CTC) Student loan interest deduction Situations not covered: Itemized deductions claimed on Schedule A Unemployment income reported on a 1099-G Business or 1099-NEC income Stock sales (including crypto investments) Rental property income Credits, deductions and income reported on other forms or schedules

@mannyaggarwal    Correct...TTX has been notified that the text in that supposed "Help" article is wrong now.   TTX 2025 software uses the new $40000 limit.  If you are over the 10k limit, just check your Schedule A  (after you've entered all your data) and look at line 5e to see what TTX is using.  

If you are filing as Married Filing Jointly you enter all income for both of you on one tax return.   To enter Social Security benefits reported on form SSA-1099 Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business) Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business) Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security On Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099), click the start or update button

PS I think tax law should require that government obligations are listed on the 1099 DIV instead of individuals having to calculate them based on a "courtesy" publication from the fund management.  That info should also require they use information from underlying funds within the dividends.  Just my opinion.

When you use online TurboTax, each return needs its own account and user ID.  If you use the same account and user ID for more than one person, the first return is overwritten and lost forever.   You will not be able to transfer the 2024 information for an "old" account that was overwritten.   (The term is "transfer"--not import)     You need to simply start over with a new account and new user ID for yourself now. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-start-another-return-in-turbotax-online/00/25596 https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/  

You can find the six-digit property key number on the notice you received from the New York State Tax Department stating that your 2025-26 STAR credit advance payment was underpaid. If the credit was not underpaid, Form IT-119 is not applicable.   See the form and filing instructions for NYS Form IT-119, STAR Credit Advance Payment Reconciliation for specific details.
