If you are using the "Online" software....sometimes you have to click on some text towards the bottom of the main screen, to expand the screen to show the full menu of income items.   The text indicates something like "Add more income"

Was hoping to get answers to last question. Also, is it ok to file the 2025 1041 with the notes and have the fiduciary mail the check with taxes due and noting on check ein number of estate and the words 2025 1041?

The actual Form 4562 that is filed with your return is just a Summary of the Depreciation for the current year and only lists out the new assets and not the prior the items. You may have a 4562 Depreciation and Amortization Report which does list all the items including fully depreciated items.  If you don't have the 4562 Depreciation and Amortization Report or need more info you need the Asset Life History. The history is only available in the Desktop program not the Online version. If you are using the Online version you would have to download your .tax20yy file and open it in the desktop program.

Yes, if your presence was medically necessary and the trip was for medical reasons. The cost is a medical itemized deduction. Only an amount of total medical expenses greater than 7.5 percent of your AGI can be deducted. This is only helpful if your itemized deduction is greater than your standard deduction. 

Do I get a credit or deduction if my child is disabled?   If your child is older than 12 and you need to pay someone to take care of him while you work, you can say he is disabled and you can still get the childcare credit on your federal return.   Or if he is 19 or older you may still be able to claim him as a qualifying child dependent on your federal return.   Aside from those things, there is no federal tax advantage to saying that your child is disabled.   Your state tax laws might be different.

Microsoft S mode provides better security but only Microsoft programs can be run so it is very limiting. So if you run other programs like TurboTax you have to exit S mode which is a permanent change. 

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/ Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)   If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.   Go to this IRS website for free transcripts of a federal tax return - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript   For a fee of $30 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

Sounds like you messed up if you do not have a 1040X.    If you amended correctly you would have a Form 1040X to submit to the IRS.   Did you just go into the software and start changing things on your original tax return?  If you did that, put them back to the way they were originally.    In order to amend a 2022 return, you need to use the desktop download software on a full PC or Mac.   To amend a return that you already filed, you have to go to Other Tax Situations>Other Tax Forms>Amend a Return     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-already-filed/L4VjJ9BA2_US_en_US?uid=m76mq6z2    Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here:
