@jtalley22 You seem to misunderstand the amount of EIC you can get for claiming your son as a dependent.   Have you tried using the interactive IRS tool to see how much earned income credit you should get?   You cannot get almost $2000 in EIC if you a single filer without a dependent.  The software is using your son to calculate your EIC.    You are over-estimating how much you can get, or mis-reading the EIC chart.  And....You do not get child tax credit for him so not sure why you think you should be getting almost $4000.

To get credit for the deduction of Overtime pay. Post your W-2 exactly as it appears. Continue through the interview. You will reach the screen Let’s Check for Uncommon Situations Select the box that says Overtime. There are alternatives on how to enter this information This information is NOT on your W-2 It may be on your final pay stub, You may be able to find the stub online, or Contact your employer This is what @rjs stated   Qualified overtime isn't taxable in 2025.  This doesn't apply to the straight-time portion of ‌earnings.    The straight time portion of the overtime hours is still taxed. However, the additional 50% incentive is not. Your full W-2 wages (including overtime) are reported on 1040 tax return. The deduction is applied on line 13b of the same tax return. Details of the entry can be found on Form 1A in Part III. For more information on the topic, see No tax on Overtime

Today is January 21, the date when estimates expected the 1099-R section to be available in TurboTax.   When I signed up for email updates for this section's availability, TurboTax signed me up for availability to Form 3903 (moving expenses), and then immediately emailed me that the Form 3903 section was available.  Doesn't really address my issue.    I've reinstalled TurboTax, but the 1099-R section is still shown as "not yet available".   I haven't used the Forms entry method because I don't trust myself to get all of the details correct.   I'll try again tomorrow, but if anybody has an update to when this section will be available I would love to hear it. 

Yes, once the forms are finished at the federal and state levels you probably will see an increase after 48 years in your home. Selling two houses in one year is a large bump in income which does affect your capital gains tax rate used. Best wishes on your new adventure!

This area should be available. What are you having problems with?   Use this link to reference when your tax forms will be available. You can search by TurboTax Product and for IRS and State-Specific Forms.

I checked the box that he is my biological child, he has lived with me the entire year, nobody else can claim him, his income is less than $5200, I paid for more than half of his expenses, he is disabled and "social security card has "Not valid for employment" printed on it is NOT selected. I've tripled checked at this point.
