Actually bb48 does speak for me.  His issue is exactly the same as my issue.  I have been using Desktop TurboTax for over 25 years and this is the first time I cannot run an estimate this late in the tax season.  DC433 I agree that you misunderstood the initial post and your reply was of no help..

See this TurboTax support FAQ for the 2025 TurboTax federal tax refund advance information - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/offer-details-disclosures-refund-advance-program/L4ljXp6TI_US_en_US

New Bonus Standard Deduction (OBBB): An additional $6,000 deduction for taxpayers 65 and older. This is per eligible individual, meaning a married couple both over 65 could get $12,000. Important: This bonus deduction is temporary, lasting from 2025 through 2028. Income limitations: It phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers. The amount is calculated on Schedule 1-A with that amount flowing to Form 1040 Line 13b Look at your Form 1040 - You can view your Form 1040 plus Schedules 1, 2 and 3 at any time using the online editions.

If you are a US citizen or resident, then you have to report all worldwide income unless there is an exclusion, for example in the US/Ireland tax treaty. https://www.irs.gov/businesses/international-businesses/ireland-tax-treaty-documents   To determine that more information would be needed. Public pension, private pension? For services performed in the US or overseas. The treaty may have different exclusions for different types of pensions.   If the income is included on your return, be sure to go through the foreign tax credit section. You may be able to get a credit against US taxes for some or all of the taxes you paid to Ireland. But that will not necessarily give you a reduction equal to your Irish tax. Rather, at most, it will give you a reduction in the tax the US would impose on that same income. Usually, US taxes are much lower than those in other countries, but at least you don't pay twice.

You can still purchase and download the desktop products to prepare your return on your Mac (provided your Mac meets the system requirements),
