You have to amend the 2024 tax return that you filed to make any corrections.   If you are using the TurboTax desktop editions -   Continue the 2024 tax return that was filed and needs to be amended Click on Federal Taxes Click on Other Tax Situations Under Other Tax Forms On Amend a return, click on the start button

That depends on the type of hybrid and when it was purchased.  Tax credits for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles (such as a Toyota RAV4 Prime) were available for the EV tax credit for those vehicles that were purchased by September 30th, 2025.  If the vehicle is a "standard" hybrid (meaning not a "plug-in hybrid"), there has never been a federal tax credit for those.  Here is IRS information on the Clean Vehicle Credit.   Starting in 2025, there is a deduction available for car loan interest on new vehicles purchased in 2025 that were made in the USA.  If your RAV4 was bought in 2025 and was assembled in America, the interest payments up to $10,000 on the loan for that vehicle can be deducted.  A vehicle manufactured in the USA will have a VIN that begins with a 1, 4 or 5 - and the complete VIN will be needed to claim the deduction.  The deduction of this interest is limited for incomes above $100,000 (or $200,000 for married couples filing jointly).  More details on this deduction can be found at IRS Rules for Car Loan Interest Deduction.

Not sure what you are trying to ask.  Your standard deduction is based on your age and filing status.  It has nothing to do with your estimated tax or estimated payments you may have made.   Your standard deduction is shown on line 12e  of your Form 1040.   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)       Were you trying  (awkwardly) to ask about how to enter estimated payments made in 2025? To enter estimated tax paid in 2025  Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Estimates  

Estimated tax payments you made in 2025 have nothing to do with a Standard Deduction.   To enter, edit or delete estimated taxes paid (Federal, State, Local) - Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business) Click on Deductions and Credits Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid On Estimated Tax Payments, click on the start or update button   On Federal estimated taxes for 2025 (Form 1040-ES), click the start button   Federal estimated taxes paid are entered on Form 1040 Line 26

If you filed your 2024 return with education information from a 1098-T rather than claiming a deduction for student loan interest on 1098-E, you can amend your 2024 return and correct it. See  How do I amend my federal tax return for a prior year? If your return for 2024 is correct, it may be a labeling error. As long as you have your records and the return is correct, no worries.

Thank you so much for your very helpful answer. Yes, I am the legal personal representative. I have one more question, if I may.  The decedent received a 1099-R for the gross distribution of final payouts from two annuity contracts plus an RMD payment from a retirement account; it also reflects federal and state income taxes withheld.  I am the named beneficiary of all of the accounts. The distributions occurred after death, so the payments were made to me. I don't know what to do with the 1099-R issued to the decedent.    Thank you!   (P.S. I tried for 3 months to find a tax expert to handle this stuff, to no avail. Hence my questions.)

Hi @AmyC , Thank you for your response.   Looking at their Federal 1040: 2025 - AGI on Line 11a is NOT below $75k. 2024 - AGI on Line 11 - my Mom and Dad’s 2024 income was NOT above $150k.   Regarding the enhanced senior deduction on Schedule 1-A, she is not getting the full $6,000 deduction, but is getting $3,163.   Thank you.  

@AnnetteB6 says: > If your tax return is not being rejected, then the IRS processing system > understands and accepts the entry put on the form by TurboTax.   Do you have evidence that 2=Married Filing Jointly (as is shown when I click on the "2" that is shown by TT) is correctly interpreted by the IRS as MFJ? Since the table to the left on the form has MFJ on Line 4 of the table, the TT setting for "2" as MFJ certainly looks wrong.    I agree with you that the IRS is not rejecting the returns - whatever TT is putting on Line 5 is not causing an error for the IRS - but I believe if they interpret "2" as the second line of the table (MFS), the credit could be disallowed (at a later time, when examined closer by the IRS) since the MAGI limits for MFS are half of the MFJ limits.   By not fixing this, Intuit is causing unnecessary stress for your users. I don't see why this is seen as a difficult item to mark for fixing, rather than causing this stress - and potentially opening us to losing this tax credit or being audited. Instead I see a defensive stance of "it's fine - trust us", when the IRS Form instructions and the TT filled-in value is clearly not in sync and your users are clearly stating this is causing unnecessary stress and uncertainty.

Tax software often caches "bad" math. If the form is stuck:   Delete Form IT-360.1 entirely from your return.  Go back to the Federal section and confirm your adjustments (like Student Loan Interest, HSA contributions, or IRA deductions) are correct. Re-initiate the New York State interview. When it asks about your residency, re-enter the dates carefully. When you reach the City section, it should now pull those adjustments into the allocation screen for Line 19. To delete the form IT-360.1:   For Online:   In the left menu, select Tax Tools, then Tools.  In the pop-up window, select Delete a form. Scroll down the list until you find Form IT-360.1. Click Delete next to it and confirm. Click Continue at the bottom to go back to your return. For Desktop:   Click the Forms icon (usually in the top right corner).  In the list of forms on the left, find and click on IT-360.1. Once the form is open on your screen, click the Delete Form button at the bottom of the window. Click Step-by-Step in the top right to return to the interview mode.
