You can enter those amounts when you go through the Education section.   After you enter the 1098-T for the school, you will be prompted to enter additional costs paid, including books and other items required for attendance.      Where do I enter my 1098-T?   More information on Education Credits   First 1098-T entry screen  

You would have to check the regulations in the municipality where you work or reside, but in general pension distributions would not be considered earned income for Federal, state or local tax purposes. 

I'm fairly certain this is, indeed, a software bug on TurboTax's end. As per their own guidance, under the Videos section, "Video: One Big Beautiful Bill: New Car Loan Interest Deduction (Part 4)" "At $200 for every $1,000 over the limit, rounded up, that works out to $2,600 off your deduction, assuming you paid at least $10,000 in interest, your maximum deduction is $10,000 minus $2,600, which equals $7,400." Their calculations are currently deducting from the interest paid, plus the maximum allowable deduction.

Can you clarify what you mean by you didn't "get" the energy tax credit?   Did you file your tax return trying to claim the credit, but you didn't have any income tax so the credit was carried over to 2025?  Or did you not even try to claim the credit in 2024 (in which case, you need to amend your 2024 return to claim it)?  

Fixing the rejected return and re-filing quickly did not put you in the front of the line again.   You are at the back of the line---waiting in "pending" with all the others who filed early and are  waiting for the IRS to open on January 26.

Ask the social worker if the payments are from a "Medicaid Waiver" program that qualifies for "IRS Notice 2014-7".  They may need to check, but after you get the response that will give you the answer.
