The problem is - your program doesn't want to recognise the "statement" that UBER gives us drivers. It should be allowed do to the first year exemption but it doesn't seem to be - so in my case, almost $3000 in deductions are unallowed because they are not on a 1099 but on a statement directly from UBER. An Uber driver gets tips, just like a cab driver.  Unlike the cab driver, the Uber doesn't get a W-2.  They might get a 1099-NEC if they received incentives and they would get a 1099-K if their regular pay and tips exceed $20K.  In the absence of a 1099, they still report their income, including tips.  They just report it as cash income.   Tips are normal in the driver for hire industry, said industry is included in the IRS list of covered industries, tips are received and reported as income.  The problem is that since they're not specifically included on a 1099, the Uber driver pays taxes on their reported tips while the cabbie. doesn't.   Next time you do a return for an Uber driver take a look at their annual statement and you'll see what I mean.   But why aren't we given the 1st year exemption that is mentioned in Guidance for Individual Taxpayers who received Qualified Tips or Qualified Overtime Compensation in 2025  Notice 2025-69??? I specifically says written statements ARE acceptable.    I am losing an almost $3K deduction - it certainly isn't right.

You do not add Form 502CR. Instead:   Enter your 1099‑R normally Go to Federal → Wages & Income Open Retirement Plans & Social Security Enter your 1099‑R exactly as shown Make sure the payer code and distribution code match the DFAS form After the entry has been made, TurboTax will ask is this military retirement, you will say 'yes". This is the trigger that tells the Maryland return to apply the subtraction Once you enter the information and continue to the Maryland State return, TurboTax will automatically:   Identify the income as military retirement Apply the correct subtraction amount Place it on Maryland Form 502, line 13, with code U To verify if the subtraction was made. Go to:   Go to State → Maryland  Continue until you reach the Subtractions section in the interview.  This is in a screen in the Income and Adjustments” or “Subtractions from Income.” It can also be labeled "Maryland Subtractions. Look for a screen titled “Maryland Subtractions” or “Subtractions from Income.” Look for Military Retirement Income Subtraction to see if there is an amount listed there. Note: there is no Form 502CR that reports military subtractions. This is reported directly on Maryland return Form 502 on line 13 with the code U. Maryland 502CR is used to claim credits such as the Earned income or Child tax credit. Military retirement is not part of that form    

@sandtoes91    though..it is a NO if the spouses are filing separately  (MFS) as long as you are filing joint (MFJ), either spouse aged at least 65 during 2025, can get it. _______________________________ But it does phase out when AGI exceeds $150,000 for a MFJ couple.

Do you mean that you need to add another tax form to your tax return?  Please clarify.   If you have filed your income tax return and now need to add another tax form to your tax return, it is best practice to wait to receive your refund before you amend your income tax return.  However, it is not required.   If your return has been transmitted and rejected by the IRS, you can correct your tax return and re-transmit.    If your return has been transmitted and accepted by the IRS, you will have to amend your Federal 1040 tax return.  However, before amending your tax return, do not enter the return and do not make any changes.    If you used TurboTax Online, log in to your account and select Amend a return that was filed and accepted.    If you used the CD/download product, sign back into your return and select Amend a filed return.    See also this TurboTax Help.
