E-filing for 2024 is permanently closed.  The only way for you to file a 2024 tax return that you prepared using do-it-yourself tax software is to print it, sign and date it in ink, and mail it in an envelope.  You do not need your 2023 AGI in order to do that.       When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

@overly-taxed    The 6,000 senior deduction will be calculated on 1040 Schedule 1-A page 2 Part V Enhanced Deduction for Seniors which goes to 1040 line 13b.  It is in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e.   IRS Schedule 1-A https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/f1040s1a--dft.pdf  

Yes in the Desktop program you get 5 federal efiles for free (state is around $25).  Or  you can print and mail the returns.  If you use up the first 5 efiles you can mail the rest if you have more.

Hello, Thanks for your help. I just checked everything and see that I filled taxes for 2023 from another software 🙂 Now I'm confused about 2024 taxes because I missed deadline for last year.. Only way is to print tax script and send it to irs?

Yes I have had an intuit account for  20 years and none of the choices to login work when you click on them.  With that new browser window (in edge) the choices to use passkey or password, etc are not operable.

Do not expect that "extra $6000" to show up on line 12.   2025 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS   SINGLE $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind + $2000) MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind +1600) MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $31,500  (65 or older/legally blind + $1600) HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $23,625 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)     For 2025 through 2028 there is an extra  deduction amount of up to $6000 per individual 65 or older filing Single, MFJ, or HOH which is phased out above certain incomes.         Here's a chart to help illustrate. Bonus deduction changes under the OBBBA Filing Status Base Standard Deduction (OBBBA) Normal Extra Deduction for 65+ New Bonus Deduction ($6K/$12K) Total Deduction (Age 65+) under the OBBBA for 2025 Single $15,750 $2,000 $6,000 $23,750 Head of Household $23,625 $2,000 $6,000 $31,625 Married Filing Jointly $31,500 $3,200 (both 65+) $12,000 (both 65+) $46,700 (both 65+) Row 3 - Cell 0 Row 3 - Cell 1 $1,600 (one 65+) $6,000 (One 65+) $39,100 (one 65+)  

Thank you so much for your answer; it has resolved this issue. DETAILS: I did not see anything in the Desktop TurboTax Step-by-step interview where it asked about FINAL. However, I went through the Schedule E worksheet and found a line "H" entitled "Complete Taxable Disposition" in a section entitled "Check All That Apply:" near the beginning of the worksheet. Box "H" was checked (I do not know why). We did sell one of our office condos in 2023, so while doing the 2023 return I may have incorrectly answered one of interview questions that led to Box "H" being checked. Anyway, I unchecked Box "H" and saved the file. Then opened TT2024 and imported the just-modified TT2023 file. All of schedule E imported correctly including all assets. Again thank you very much for your help. FYI: I am doing TT2023 and TT2024 now because due to a computer glitch I lost the original tax2023 and tax2024 files. So I had to recreate these files so I can import the tax2024 file into TT2025.

I did not find anywhere in TurboTax that shows the accurate details of 1040:Line12, zooming in does not match because we have one person over 65. Line 12 says per Schedule A which according to Google is created in the background and never shown.  I Googled the blind/65 amounts and did the math manually.   With the blind/age amount being changed for 2025-2028 for the new $6000 credit for >65 that have some complexities (the formula from ChatGPT is ick), TurboTax should build a better supporting schedule.
