As was mentioned, you question is beyond a tax question.  However, most states require a registration an LLC if business is physically operated in that state.   That means if you are solely physically working in New Mexico, yes, in most cases that is likely the only state you need to register the business.   But if you (or your employees) are working in other states, those states may require a registration.    But the laws vary from state to state, so you'll want to look into each state's rules and/or consult a business lawyer.  

What counts is how your wife is covered, not who covers her.  If she is covered by an HDHP that is HSA-qualified, and she has no other coverage, then she can contribute to an HSA in her name.  If the HDHP is family coverage, then her contribution limit is $8300  $8550 for 2025, plus $1000 if she is over age 55.

For the deduction for seniors in the new tax law, MAGI is Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), Form 1040 line 11, plus the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and excluded income from sources in Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

TurboTax provides do-it-yourself tax software.  TurboTax guarantees the calculations done by its software.   The information entered into that software is data entered by you, the user.   TurboTax cannot and does not check that information against any outside sources, so TT cannot know if you entered your information completely or correctly.   It is up to you to enter all of your information correctly and completely, and to check your tax return before you file it.  If you forget to enter some income, or enter it incorrectly, enter it in the wrong place, etc. then you may end up owing additional tax to the IRS and/or state.  TurboTax does not pay the additional tax you owe.   If TurboTax’s calculations were incorrect, and you owe penalties and/or interest, then TT will pay the penalties and interest.  The tax due is always owed by you, and must be paid by you.   If you need to enter a claim for the accuracy guarantee:   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/submit-claim-turb...
