I entered US Treasury bond interest like you mention in TurboTax and it was property reflected on line 2(b) on my Form 1040. I suggest you review your entry and make sure you entered your treasury bond interest in Box 3 of the Form 1099-INT entry screen in TurboTax. Then, look on line 2(b) of Form 1040 where you should see the interest listed on your federal return.     To view your form 1040 and schedule 1 to 3:   Choose Tax Tools from your left menu bar in TurboTax Online while working in your program Choose Tools Choose View Tax Summary See the Preview my 1040 option in the left menu bar and click on it Choose the Back option in the left menu bar when you are done

No.   Your tax documents are not sent from anywhere to TurboTax automatically.   You either have to enter them by hand, snap photos of certain kinds with the mobile app (like a W-2) or import them.   There is a way for you  to set up import of certain documents .     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/financial-institution/auto-import/L12wI9uKM_US_en_US?uid=m6wcupvi

Since you employer left Box 14 blank, there are two ways you can determine your overtime. To enter this, you will need to get the information from your year-end paystub or a statement from your employer.    To enter your overtime information,    After you enter your W2, there will be a follow-up screen that is titled  "Let's check for uncommon situations." Select overtime.  This should be the very first selection on that screen. Now you have two choices to make.  Let TurboTax calculate your overtime  or enter it yourself Regardless of the method used, you will need specific information that is either on a paystub or issued on an employer's statement. if you have neither of these, you will need to contact your employer for further information.      

Hey Mike 9241: When I first saw my consolidated tax statement, I contacted my broker and talked to a customer assistant. I believe he agreed with me but, after consulting with two separate "experts"in the back office, was told that my tax record was correct due to "changes" made in the past year. I plan on contacting my broker again and, even though the office personnel are always respectful and pleasant, dealing with the company bureaucracy is usually a huge frustration.

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS releases your refund.    The IRS states that most federal tax refunds are issued within 21 days of acceptance, however, some may take longer if they require additional review. Also, by law, the IRS cannot issue EITC or ACTC refunds before mid-February. This applies to your entire refund, not just the portion related to those specific credits.   Here are a few FAQs to help you track your refund: When will I get my federal tax refund? How do I track my state refund? Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"? Why do some refunds take longer than others? What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

Maybe you are thinking it was 2011 because that’s when you were filing your 2010 return in 2011.  Or you missed entering it on your 2010 tax return, maybe because it was the first payment.   I don’t know how you need to pay it if you missed one.   

If eligible you will find this on Schedule 1-A Part V and line 13b of your form 1040. TurboTax will automatically calculate it based on your date of birth and your income.  There is not a special section or box to check.  Just enter your correct information and TurboTax will take it from there.   The deduction for seniors would apply if you had enough income to be taxable.  If your only income is social security, you would not have taxable income so the deduction would not apply.  If you do have other income, this deduction is automatically entered by TurboTax when you enter your Date of Birth showing you were over 65 at the end of 2025 and your total income.   For Tax Year 2025 through 2028, seniors may claim an additional deduction of $6,000 per taxpayer over 65.  This is NOT a refundable credit.  This is a deduction of your income.  If your income is above $75,000 ($150,000 if Married filing jointly) the bonus deduction decreases by $.06 for every dollar over the relevant amount.  This deduction is available whether you itemize or take the standard deduction. If your filing status is married filing separately you are not eligible for this deduction. This bonus deduction is ONLY for those over 65, it does not apply to those who are blind and under 65   The standard deduction for tax year 2025 is $15,750 for single and $31,500 for married filing jointly. For those over 65 or blind your standard deduction is increased by: $2,000 per qualifying factor if you are single or filing head of household $1,600 per person per qualifying factor if you are married (filing jointly or separately)   This is NOT available for those who itemize deductions.   

Thanks for your response,  @SteamTrain.    When I viewed your reply, there was nothing present after the following three sentences:   "...and when you get to the following page (below), answer it as-if the displayed edits were present  (i.e. you needed to answer YES)."  "Answering YES will use the box 2a $$ amount on your for 1040.  Check lines 5a and 5b before and after entering that 1099-R."  "(But if you answered No, and already entered some $$ in the "General" or "Simplified" calculation area, you might need to delete your 1099-R first and re-enter it from scratch...not sure of that though)".   Now, for the first time, in this request asking if my question was answered, I see that you had inserted an image of a TurboTax interview page with red arrows, etc. intended to clarify what you were saying above.   So, unfortunately, I didn't know what "following page" you were referring to.     After trying many different answers to the TurboTax interview questions that suddenly started referring to my pension as an annuity which it is not (and deleting and re-entering my 1099-R form as many times as I tried different answers), I solved myproblem by simply ignoring the questions and pressing forward without answering them.  To my surprise, this worked and resulted in tax returns that treated my pension exactly as it has in previous years' returns. Not only did I find this exasperating and very time consuming, I paid $138 dollars to TurboTax for this "service".   Turbo Tax should fix this problem and they should be offering me free future tax filing for pointing this out.   lnashett
