Granted, this is my first time with Block Desktop, but I find it intuitive and easy to use. It does support forms (TT online does not) and everything I've used to date is straight forward. The pricing is very competitive to the point of attractive. As to the effort to make it Win7 and/or Win10 compatible in the future only time will tell.

Double-check the type of DL you have from NY....(and it's not the DMV number....its the Doc ID number, usually, but not always on the back)....look at the pictures NY provides:   Sample Photo Documents | NY DMV

KRISD15, Thank you for your response I know that the AOP credit allows for books, etc. not purchased from the school. HOWEVER,  Turbo tax DOESN’T bring up the prompt asking to enter the amount of educational expenses (books, materials, supplies) purchased from an outside source. It only has a prompt where you can enter amounts of books purchased FROM the School. I spent over 3 1/2 hours on the phone with TURBO tax telling them about the GLITCH.  TURBO tax needs to FIX it and update there program.  I was told by a turbo tax agent to enter the amounts for required books, etc. from an outside store into the boxes that say to enter amounts into the box for purchase of books paid to the school. There is a GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM.

No, but this article will help you download any data you had in ItsDeductible (if used previously or during the year before it was shut down in October).   There will be a new tool that replaces ItsDeductible and its expected to be available the end of February or beginning of March. This is just an estimate and I would assume we will find out more as time goes on. At this time, this is all the information we were given. 

Please explain.  Did you e-file already?   Or are you still trying to get the return ready to e-file?  We cannot see your screen or your tax return, so please be very specific about what you are trying to do.

I am only changing filing status, MFS to MFJ, so there aren't any new forms. I am taking your ((and everyone else's (including TT's)) advice and will mail only the 1040X + Schedule B to the IRS and IT-201X to NY State. That is, if I can't e-file either on Jan 26, when the IRS and NYSDF start accepting e-filed returns and TT says their software will be magically fixed and I will be able to e-file 🤣.
