Also in the Online version there is no more Premier.  For Online, Premier and the Self Employed versions were combined into the Online Premium version.  For Online you would need the Premium version.  For the Desktop installed program you can use any version even Deluxe.  All the Desktop programs have the same forms.  You just get more help in the higher versions.  
There is no need to amend the NY return if there are no changes to the return.  And no need to provide the state with a copy of the federal amended tax return.

Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-already-filed/L4VjJ9BA2_US_en_US?uid=m76mq6z2       Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here:

Ok, I worked through the interest rate method you suggested. Interest Paid in 2024: $41,170.87 (used $41,171 for calc) Interest Rate: 4.875% TT entered deductible interest on return: $36,601   $41,170 / .04875 = $844513 $750,000 / $844,513 = .888 .888 x $41,170 = $36,559 vs TT entered $36,601 or $42 (Average method resulted in $577 difference)   Maybe they did use the Interest Rate method?   I have gone through every possible option in the IVR and since I don't have live support paid for, there is zero option to get a human being on the line.     I didnt get a notice that I owe more taxes or penalties but a CP28 notice saying they show and error and I need to correct or it raises my chance of an audit.  It then talks about the $750k limit.   Any thoughts on best route to take to get a view of how they calculated and what numbers they used?  I can't find any worksheets in the online version and can't get a hold of a human being.   Thanks!

Child support is not entered anywhere on a tax return; child support is not deductible nor is it taxable income for the person who receives it.   As for who can claim the child---that is the custodial parent.   Count up the number of nights the child was with you.   Except in "leap" years, there is an uneven number of nights, so 50-50 is not actually possible.     Are you the custodial parent?  Do you have an agreement with the other parent to allow the other parent to claim them--due to divorce or that you live apart and share custody?  Did one of you sign a Form 8332?   If there is a signed 8332 then the custodial parent retains the right to file as Head of Household, get earned income credit and the childcare credit.  The non-custodial parent gets the child tax credit for children under the age of 17.  If the child is 17 or older the non-custodial parent gets the $500 credit for other dependents.   If you and the other parent have a signed agreement, you need to indicate in MY INFO that you have such an agreement.   As far as the IRS is concerned, the custodial parent is the one with whom the child spent the most nights during the tax year--at least 183 nights.

 You will be able to access the 2024 return you started by using the exact same account and user ID that you used when you started it.   But you can no longer use online software for any further changes.       Start a 2025  return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.   Online tax preparation and e-filing for 2024  returns is now permanently closed.    Now it is too late to use online software or to e-file. If you have any changes/corrections at all to make to your 2024 return, you now have to complete it using desktop software, which you must download to a full PC or Mac  (not to a mobile device).Then you need to print, sign and mail it.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/finish-prior-year-return-started-turbotax-online/L9Oe4M90A_US_en_US?uid=m68tffpe   If you already paid for your online software you can ask customer support for a download of the desktop software.   They are available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time Monday - Friday   https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899263-what-is-the-turbotax-phone-number     If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.  If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe.  Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.     When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
