No, the additional deduction of $6,000 for seniors would not trigger a withdrawal penalty for savings.  The senior deduction is reported on the Form 1040 Line 13b.   You need to review the Form 1099-INT you entered and make sure that you did not enter an amount in box 2 of the form (assuming the box 2 was not used on the original 1099-INT)   To report interest income received - Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home & Business) Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home & Business) Click on I'll choose what I work on Under Interest and Dividends On Interest on 1099-INT, click on the start or update button    

I have a similar problem with the Desktop version.  It will not let me manually enter my 1099-R information.  I get a message: "Hmm, looks like we've hit a snag We recommend you revisit the last topic you were working on to make sure all your info's correct." Your software has gone downhill.

Another posts a moderator said are scheduled to be released on the next update - which is usually thursday.  Aka, yet another possible schedule date, thats going to be towards the end of Feb.  It's time to switch tax programs, folks.

Double check the days of rental use and days of personal use that you have entered for the property.  This entry is the most common reason that the rental is automatically treated as passive income.   Remember that if the property was converted from personal use to rental use (or vice versa) that you would enter zero personal use days.  The question about the days of use of the property is asking about the time that the property was a rental property.  You would only have personal use days if it were used personally after it was converted to a rental property.

The work on that section of TurboTax (Rental and depreciation of rentals) is still in process. The updates are now scheduled to be released with next week's updates, which usually come through Thursday night.    Use this link Sign up for email notification which will let you know when the depreciation/amortization will be ready to file for Schedule E. This will be the most efficient notification. @kmacwalker 

At least with HR Block I get to open the application more than 5 times.  I would rather have to enter everything manually then put up with lame programming that prevents me from even using the application.  Please let me know when TurboTax pulls it's head out and fixes this problem, otherwise, alternatives here we come.

You should classify as PURCHASED.  Technically, when the RSUs vested, it was compensation income reported on your W2 (on which you pay the regular income tax)- it acted as a barter in a sense.  When you donate it to the charity, you will use this value as your basis to determine your charitable deduction.

Yes if you are married you have to report all income including SS Disability.  You should have a SSA-1099 for that.   Even if you decide to file separately you would need to file a return with just the SSDI.     Up to 85% of Social Security becomes taxable when all your other income plus 1/2 your social security, reaches: Married Filing Jointly: $32,000 Single or head of household: $25,000 Married Filing Separately: 0
