If you manually completed Schedule 1-A in TurboTax in FORMS mode in TurboTax Desktop, check the calculations on Schedule 1-A.  Your deduction shows on Line 30 of this form.     If you're using TurboTax Online, try clearing your Cookies and Cache and step through the interview questions for this section again.    Here's more detailed info on the Vehicle Loan Interest Deduction.   @EpicRivalry         

How to Access prior year online returns https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/00/27010 If you can't get the side menus to open up to access the prior year..... You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2025 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2025. I had to go though about 12 screens. If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups. Or request a transcript from the IRS https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript Or get a copy of your return using form 4506 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

@happyras  There are ways to get the Desktop program from partner sites.  I just tried Fidelity and wrote down the steps.....   You have to get the Fidelity by starting on this page. If you are not already logged into Fidelity it will give you a log in box. https://www.fidelity.com/accounts-trade/turbotax-discount That will give you the page for Online Turbo Tax. To get the Desktop program….. Click the green Start filing with TurboTax and save 25% button (or whatever percent you get) It brings up the Fidelity Save 25% Get Started page Leave that page and tab open Then in another browser tab go to the Turbo Tax Desktop page here https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download  

After manually entering the 1099-R information in 2025 TurboTax Deluxe desktop version, TurboTax did not use the 1099-R data until, I saved the file, closed the file and then reopened it.  Why was that required to get TurboTax to use the data?  No clue...

Go back to the My Info section to review your entries.   You can click on Revisit under the Personal Info section.   The page titled About Your Household is where you will find the questions related to your filing status.      What is my filing status - FAQ   You may qualify for more than one tax filing status. For example, a single (unmarried) person isn't necessarily restricted to single filing status. They may be able to file as Head of Household or Qualifying surviving spouse, assuming those qualifications are met.   Likewise, someone who was legally married as of December 31, 2025 could file as married jointly, married separately, or Head of Household (again, if they meet the qualifications). If more than one filing status applies to you, we'll choose the one that gives you the biggest tax break.

1. The KS child and dependent care tax credit is linked to the federal dependent care credit. Check your federal return for dependent care credit.

No. It is a refundable credit for KS to increase your refund. 3. Yes, the dependent care credit on federal does increase your state refund.
