Are you trying to ask about schedule 1A?   You do not have direct access to forms and schedules with online TurboTax.   What credit are you trying to get -- or see?    If you are getting the new "senior deduction", a deduction for car loan interest, deduction for overtime pay or deductions for tips---those will show up on your Form 1040 on line 13b.   PREVIEW 1040 https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/preview-turbotax-online-return-filing/L77WCkvnu_US_en_US?uid=m681fkhr  

YES,  It is automatic based on your age. It is not part of your Standard Deduction. The new Senior Deduction is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e. The 6,000/12,000 senior deduction will be calculated on 1040 Schedule 1-A page 2 Part V Enhanced Deduction for Seniors which goes to 1040 line 13b with any other sch 1-A amounts. Turbo Tax automatically includes it if you qualify. If you are married you have to file a Joint return.

Just a follow up BillM223, she had HSA distributions June, July, Sept, Oct before she turned 65, and distributions in Nov and Dec after she turned 65 and they were all for qualified medical expenses. So in the TT interview question should she answer "yes" or "no" to the question on was she 65 when she took this distribution?

Yes, for a business that you decided not to "start",  you can take a capital loss on the start up expenses in the year you abandoned the business.  You will enter next year on your 2026 taxes under Investments and savings.  

If you can't recover the return, you can obtain a transcript or actual copy of the return from the IRS. Transcripts are free transcript info https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript  copy of return $30 https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-4506

No. You do not report the withdrawn amount as income.   Reporting only what you withdrew as income may cause you to pay more taxes than you owe.   You will need to gather the information on all of the crypto you purchased, including the date, amount you paid (cost) and the date and amount you sold it for (proceeds) and compare that information to what you have already inputted in Form 8949.    If you invested more than you gained, it could mean you have a loss, not a gain. It is important to know the total value of your portfolio and your cost basis because you should pay tax only on the gain.   The totals from your Form 8949 should carry over to Schedule D, wherein you will see the total gain/loss of your crypto transactions.   The total from you Schedule D is then transferred to your Form 1040 automatically.

Hi, HR Block indicated that the specific QMID I7Q6 was rejected by the IRS and that this is a known bug on the IRS side.    I am just guessing here, but I think the Feb 13th date is hopeful thinking on the Tax Software Company side that the IRS will have this fixed, and to hedge their bets, they include the "you may have to mail it in" clause.   Both TurboTax and HR Block are saying that.   In any case, I have printed my returns and have them ready to mail if this fails one more time after the 13th.     Good luck with your returns.

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.     If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed   The Form 1040X you need becomes available in late February,  But wait until your return has been processed.
