On TurboTax Deluxe Desktop version the Schedule 1 does not have a Part V for Seniors. Nor does any calculation for seniors take place.  There is no change to Fed taxes due, no change to line 13b 1040 based on the checkmark showing birth less than 1961.

You have to enter all your W2s into the same tax return one at a time.   After you enter a W2 you can add another the same way, go to Federal Taxes Tab Wages & Income Wages and Salaries- Click the Start or Update button   If you see a W2 Summary, at the bottom is a blue Add another W2 button   Then if you are married you should have 2 buttons...Add w-2 for (taxpayer name) and Add w-2 for (spouse name).   Click on the correct button to add a W-2.

The new charitable deduction is available starting in the 2026 tax year, not 2025. Taxpayers will be able to deduct up to $1,000 (for single filers and those married filing separately) or $2,000 (for married couples filing jointly). It's not clear if that will be an above-the-line deduction or not.

Sorry, Online is only for 2025 now. Online for 2024 and prior is closed now so you can not start a new 2024 or prior return or finish one. You have to do each year separately How to prepare a prior year return https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-prepare-a-prior-year-tax-return/00/25984 To do a prior year return you have to buy the Desktop program here, https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products You will need Windows 10 or Mac Ventura 13 to install it on. If you can't install the Desktop program or if you have a simple return and want to file for free, you can fill out the blank IRS forms by hand. Here are some basic forms….. Here is the IRS 2024 Form 1040 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040--2024.pdf OR if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors, https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s--2024.pdf And 2024 Instructions https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040gi--2024.pdf Sch 1 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s1--2024.pdf Sch 2 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s2--2024.pdf Sch 3 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s3--2024.pdf Then when you do file 2025 enter 0 for the 2024 AGI since you are filing 2024 late. You have to print and mail prior year returns. 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 received the return. Don’t forget state.

It won't go though with that error.   There are 2 different situations when it will say Employer may have paid too much Social Security. It’s saying either 1 employer took out too much SS –OR- that you paid too much SS because you had more than 1 employer.    First of all try leaving the cents off box 4. Check boxes 3 & 4 on your W2. Box 4 should be 6.2% of box 3 up to a max of $10,918.20. So take the amount in box 3 and multiply it by .062. If box 4 is more than that you need to get a corrected W2 from your employer. But also go back and double check your W2 entries, you may have entered box 3 & 4 wrong. A lot of people who have asked this found they did enter an amount wrong. Or check W2 box 12. You may have entered Code A by mistake. A sure way to fix this is to delete the W2 and manually re-enter it. That may clear something out. Or post back with the amounts in boxes 3&4.
