And....it sounds like you are going through al kinds of unnecessary aggravation by trying to un-install Deluxe and then install Premier. All you really need to do is upgrade desktop Deluxe to desktop Premier and pay the difference between the price for Deluxe and Premier.
I have a Mac, so I can tell you how to upgrade on a Mac. It will be similar on Windows. With your program open, go to the top of the TT screen. Look for a little icon with an arrow surrounded by a green circle---that is the "Upgrade" button. Click it to upgrade from Deluxe to Premier.

You don’t have to amend your return but it’s a good idea to keep track of your contribution amounts.

You can’t deduct mileage but you can deduct direct expenses. You can’t deduct depreciation.

And see if the little IRA box between boxes 7 & 8 is checked. That tells it that it is an IRA. So it should not be checked for a pension. If it's checked on her 1099R ask the plan why.

What code is in box 7 on the 1099R? Code 4 is for inherited. I would delete the 1099R and enter it again manually. That usually clears it out and fixes it. @dmertz

@Dancarmo Here's how to activate a different version. There is a way to have 2 licenses. You don't need to install the second version just enter the License Code. Under Help - Switch Product - Activate new product. Don't know what that will do or what benefit you will get. It won't allow you to efile more than 5 or get a different free state program download. But you only needed to buy 1 version. The Desktop program can do unlimited returns and efile 5 for free. And All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.

@Lee-K But in your first post you said......This year I did not withdraw any money from some accounts but the total amount drawn from other accounts was sufficient to cover the total RMD. Was that wrong and you didn't take 100% of the total RMD? Read my long post above. For each 1099R enter the amount from box 1 for the RMD question on that 1099R. If you know the amount you were short then add it to the RMD question on one of the 1099R forms and Turbo Tax will calculate the penalty for the missing amount on form 5329.

Look at the "Payments" section of the form 1040, where you have several places to list different ways you paid 2024 taxes. If you paid taxes along with your extension (form 4868) that you probably filed sometime before April 15, then that amount goes onto line 31 -- but they make it confusing, because you need to go to "schedule 3, line 15". On schedule 3, you will list the amount paid with your extension, and then that will also be what you show on line 31.
