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 additional $6,000 is calculated on Schedule 1-A with the amount flowing to Form 1040 Line 13b.

Correct...they only list actual tax forms used to file taxes, not the sheets that are entered into the program. Unfortunately, we in this forum don't know....I was expecting a software update of some type this week....but so far nothing. Maybe tomorrow, but maybe they won't do anything until overnight 5-6 January. All in one fell swoop, but even then we know that some forms won't be done until later in the month

Go back to the My Info section on the left side of the online tax return. Delete the dependent and re-enter to clear this problem.

I already paid back in April 2025 the Turbotax Online for the 2024 tax return. However, I wasn't able to finish and file due to some circumstances. Is it still possible to get it refunded since I did not use it and now, I need to buy/use the Turbotax Desktop 2024 to file my 2024 tax return?

I received a CPO5 in March 2023 and I still haven't received a dime. I even had a tax advocate who did nothing - I contacted the TAX ADVOCATES again a couple months back - I requested just the tax credit for my daughter - I haven't heard anything - there are many people who receive these notices and never get their money. I called the IRS repeatedly - waited 30 days then 60 and after waiting 120 days I gave up.

The five month rule applies only to being a full time student, not the student's age. The student must be under 24 the whole year.

Your message is unclear. Did you owe and arrange for payment, but the IRS says they never got it, or were you due a refund that you never got?

Since your daughter turned 24 in 2025 she cannot be a qualifying child dependent for tax year 2025, even if she was a student---she is too old. She can still be a qualifying relative dependent for the $500 credit for other dependents if she had less than $5200 of income not counting any Social Security in 2025.
Qualifying relative
They don't have to be related to you (despite the name).
They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply).
They made less than $5200 in 2025 (not counting Social Security)
You provided more than half of their financial support.
When you add someone as a dependent, we'll ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them. There may be other tax benefits you can get when you claim a dependent.

Getting a jump start on my 2025 taxes and Turbo Tax is not allowing me to qualify my daughter as a dependent when it asks, "Let us know if she made $5200 or more in 2025". As soon as I state yes, it states she is not a dependent and forces me to file single. My daughter is a full time student, I do provide more than half her support, she lived with me the entire year in the US and was 23 years old from January - June (6 months) before turning 24. It looks like this error happened last year, but I am confused on why it has not been resolved. I read that if your child is in school full time, and is under the age of 24 for at least five months they qualify as a dependent. Please help me understand this. Also if it helps, I have provided the questions it asks along with the answers I put: What's Your Relationship to (Childs Name)? My Child (includes adopted, foster and stepchildren) Tell us about your child Name Name Birth Date DOB Citizenship Status US Citizen This is my Daughter The child is Adopted, Foster Child, None of the Above None of the Above How many months did (Child name) live with you in 2025? Claiming (Childs name) as a dependent involves counting each month she lived with you in 2025. The Whole Year How many of those were in the US? The Whole Year Did any of these apply to (Childs Name)? Disabled, Passed Away in 2025, None of these apply None of these apply (Childs Name) Marital Status. Was (childs name) married as of December 31, 2025? No Did (Childs Name) make $5200 or More Last Year? Let us know if she made $5200 or more in 2025. Yes, (Childs Name) made $5200 or more last year. About (Childs Name) Dependent Status It turns out (Childs Name) doesn't qualify as your dependent.
