@Longtimeusersteve    Check out Deductible Duck: https://deductibleduck.com   The odds are slim to none that Intuit will reconsider. They fired off a warning shot last year (2024) and rescinded the discontinuation but only for a year (which they warned would happen at that time).

@TightLines   Where did you buy it from?  Did you install it after you bought it?  Or are you installing it for the first time now in November?   If you did install and activate it then it should listed in your Turbo Tax account even if you bought it somewhere else.  I've always buy mine from Costco and they are listed at Turbo Tax and I had to redownload 2024 again from Turbo Tax.     I bought 2024 from Costco and it is listed in my account here

I just found out that Turbotax is discontinuing itsDeductible.  Please reconsider this decision.  I make donations every year.  If a competitor has software that works like itsDeductible I will purchase that software.  I want to stay with Turbotax but I need something that will value my donations so that I am listing the correct value. I have been using Turbotax for many years.  I want to remain a customer. Please reconsider. 

As an FYI, just spent 90 minutes online with Intuit. They do not have records of License Codes if bought thru a 3rd party. Unfortunately deleted my emails from Intuit for the purchase back in February of 2025

If you want your actual depreciation schedule, you need to be using a desktop version of TurboTax.    See the following thread for instructions on how to access it in Forms View.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/how-come-my-rental-depreciation-for-current-year-shows-on-line-17-at-form-4562-instead-of-on-line/00/3379976

There is a tax “loop hole” available to claim an education credit, for the parents of students on scholarship. The student reports all his scholarship, up to the amount needed to claim the American Opportunity Credit (AOC), as income on his return. That way, the parents  (or himself, if he is not a dependent) can claim the tuition credit on their return. They can do this because that much tuition was no longer paid by "tax free" scholarship.  You cannot do this  if the conditions of the grant are that it be used to pay for qualified expenses. Using an example: Student has $10,000 in box 5 of the 1098-T and $8000 in box 1. At first glance he/she has $2000 of taxable income and nobody can claim the American opportunity credit. But if she reports $6000 as income on her return, the parents can claim $4000 of qualified expenses on their return. Books and computers are also qualifying expenses for the AOC. So, extending the example, the student had another $1000 in expenses for those course materials, paid out of pocket. She would only need to report $5000 of taxable scholarship income, instead of $6000.   The IRS actually encourages use of this technique. From the form 1040 instructions: “You may be able to increase an education credit if the student chooses to include all or part of a Pell grant or certain other scholarships or fellowships in income. For more information, see Pub. 970, the instructions for Form 1040 and IRS.gov/EdCredit".  PUB 970 even has examples of how to do the “loop hole”.

I agree with Jeff7 that this bug has not yet been corrected.  Upon transferring in my 2024 tax file, the present version of 2025 TurboTax is still including in the total of state estimates paid in 2025 the three estimates paid in 2024.   Click, as far as I know, TurboTax has no ability to alter any user-entered value.

Perhaps I misinterpreted.  I interpreted "payroll deduction" as simply meaning money taken from the employee's paycheck, not necessarily resulting in a reduction of the employee's taxable wages.  If an HSA contribution is made from after-tax income, a deduction for the contribution needs to be claimed on Schedule 1.

Thank you for updating the capability, but it does not allow for multiple disaster distributions neither on a single reported 1099-R, nor on splitting the 1099-R into two.  I also tried to do this using "Forms" and could not manually get the forms to accept two different $22,000 distributions for two different FEMA storms.

While the form is working for one disaster distribution, it does not work in the case of multiple disaster distributions.  We had 3 FEMA disasters on the West Coast of Florida in 2024.  Under the rules, I took 3 allowable 22,000 distributions but am unable to claim them with the current limitations of Turbo Tax 2024.   Bill Greggs

Updating 2024 software and trying this in November 2025 confirms that it is still not possible to claim two different $22,000 disaster distributions and take advantage of the option to spread the income over 3 years.     Bill Greggs

I tried  splitting the 1099-R into two distributions to be able to claim two different FEMA disaster distributions and that did not work.   TT only allows one disaster distribution claim for the 22,000, spread income over three years option.
