The deduction for seniors should be on Schedule 1-A line 37. Do you see it there? You might not get the full $6,000 if your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) is over $75,000 ($150,000 if married filing jointly). The deduction is gradually reduced above that level, and is reduced to zero if your MAGI is $175,000 or more ($250,000 if married filing jointly). Your MAGI for the purpose of this deduction is on Schedule 1-A line 3. The total deductions from Schedule 1-A will be on Form 1040 line 13b. That line might include other deductions besides the deduction for seniors.  

Be aware that The System can throw a curveball that has nothing to do with "TurboTax forcing me to upgrade to Windows 11"...   In my case my primary PC gave up the ghost a few weeks ago.  That was a barebones system that I built myself, running Windows 10 and as I noted here previously, Oracle VirtualBox with multiple virtual machines -- including a VM that I upgraded to Windows 11 in order to install TurboTax for TY 2025.   Time constraints would not allow me the luxury of building a replacement system so I went ahead and purchased a pre-built name brand (ugh!) laptop PC.  I chose Dell as the provider (mostly because they tend to have less bloatware than some of the other big names, and holiday deals were cheap!) and of course I was stuck with Windows 11 (Home edition).  Dell also explicitly supports Ubuntu on their PC hardware and that accords with my long-term plans to ditch Windows entirely...   For now my new PC runs Windows 11 and TurboTax still runs in a separate virtual machine.  Eventually I will wipe the OS partition and install some Debian-based Linux distro, but even then I won't be able to escape the Windows 11 requirement for TurboTax without running a virtual machine.  Wine and Bottles or some other Win32 API subsystem may allow me to run TurboTax directly under Linux but I haven't tested that hypothesis yet.   Ditching Windows completely may come down to just forsaking tax preparation programs altogether in favor of PDF forms, mad calculator skills, and printing reams of paper for physically mailed returns.   The point here is that there's no escaping what Microsoft and Intuit calls "progress" unless you hop off that train altogether.  I'm not that much of a Luddite just yet, but every day I spend using Windows 11 is definitely pushing me in that direction.  😾

How to find your 1095-A online Log in to your account. Under "Your Existing Applications," select your 2025 application — not your 2026 application. Select “Tax Forms." Download all 1095-As. Get screen-by-screen directions, with pictures (PDF, 504 KB).         To enter your 1095A go to Federal>Deductions and Credits> Medical>Affordable Care Act (Form 1095A)       If you had health insurance from the marketplace, when you applied for the insurance, you gave healthcare.gov an estimate of how much income you would receive in 2025.  They used that amount to calculate how much of the insurance premium would be covered by the tax credit and how much would be your amount to pay.   So...you had some monthly amounts to pay, and the rest of the cost of having that insurance was paid by the government program.   If you ended up making a higher income than you told them you would receive, they re-calculate how much should have been paid by the program and how much should have been paid by you.   And if your own share of the cost should have been more, they get it back on your income tax return.      If you actually had less income, you could even get some of the share you paid back on your tax return.

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.   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 separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e.  Turbo Tax automatically includes it.

Not sure what you mean by a "12th form."     Do you mean a W-2?    There is nothing called a "12th" form.   if you entered something in the wrong place, then go back to that income entry screen and delete it.   You say that you need to "file on a 1099".  There are over a dozen kinds of 1099's----what kind are you trying to enter?   SSA1099 for Social Security benefits?  1099NEC for self employment income?   1099R for retirement income?  1099B for investment income?   etc etc etc.   Tell us what kind of 1099 you have so we can help you with where to enter it.

If you read that screen carefully, you only enter the number of days AFTER it was converted to a rental.   If there were no personal days after it was converted to a rental, then you enter zero personal days.  Then you will need to MANUALLY prorate the annual expense such as insurance, real estate tax, etc.   While it may SEEM like doing it the way you are doing it is working, it often causes errors and miscalculations.  

I have more related questions for 2025.    1. In addition to my working as an independent consultant for a NY firm (1099 income), I also took a part-time position with another NY firm in 2025.  This 2nd firm treats me as a part-time employee and will issue W-2.  They have also been withholding NY income tax on my earnings.  When I tried to talk to HR and Payroll about this (that I'm a fulltime FL resident performing services outside NY), they said they need to withhold NY tax because the firm does not have a presence in FL.  However, based on what you said, which matches my own research, the test is whether the taxpayer (that's me) performs services or carries out business in NY, not my employer's location.  They referred me to a co-worker who is also a fulltime FL resident working remotely for this same firm.  She told me she has been paying NY taxes and her returns were filed by an accountant.  I believe they are wrong but my question now is how do I get refund from NY?  I believe I will need to file a non-resident NY return but specifically which questions/forms I need to complete to get the refund?   2.  I received a one-time payment from a 3rd NY firm after I won settlement for wrongful termination of employment in 2022.  I moved to FL at the end of 2022 and have since been a full-time FL resident.  This payment is split into two parts, one part as backpay W-2 income and NY taxes were withheld.  Do I need to pay NY tax on this portion of the payment?  Any specific forms for this type of reporting?   3.  There is no withholding on the other part of the settlement payment, which I believe will be reported as income to me on 1099.  How is this part treated differently for tax purposes, both Federal and NY?   Thank you very much!
