Software Stuff to consider:   If it was for a Muni bond you bought ($$ in box 8), the software just reduced the $$ reported for tax-exempt $$ on the form 1040, line 2a.   If it was for a US Treas (box 3 $$) or Corporate bond  (Box 1 $$), the subtraction amount actually shows on the Schedule B, before transferring to line 2b of the 1040.   ___________________________ A caution though.   If the 1099-INT has $$ in more than one box, of boxes 1, 3 and/or 8 you need to remove the $$ for the bond type involved, into it's own 1099-INT before making the adjustment for that bond type.  If you don't, then the software will apportion (improperly) the accrued interest among the box 1, 3 and 8 values.   Thus, if you have a 1099-INT with $$ in (say) boxes 1 and box 8, and you paid accrued interest on a Muni you bought in 2025....then you must take out the $$ in box 8 (&box 13 too), and put those $$ on their own 1099-INT before reporting the accrued interest for the Muni on that new 1099-INT. ____________________ Subject ...of course, to the limitation, noted by @CatinaT1  above, that you can only report that adjustment in the year you actually receive interest from that bond,   Thus if you bought a bond in Nov of 2025, and paid accrued interest on that bond....but it doesn't pay out interest to you until (say) Feb of 2026....then you can't declare that accrued interest deduction until you prepare your 2026 taxes.

@krissy19747    Because the "Online" web version of TTX can only be used to prepare and file 2025  taxes now.   The only way to do 2024 taxes, at this point in time, is to either get the paper/PDF forms from the IRS and prepare them manually....or, buy and install the "Desktop" software for 2024, and install it on a full Windows or MAC computer......and MAIL them in at the Post Office yourself.   File Your 2024 Prior Year Taxes with TurboTax Desktop

No, that is not what I mean. It's both, so far, on Donations as  well as the Sales Tax deduction. The donations, for example, DID impact my outcome of my tax return - and yet - still shows "Now Available" versus showing an amount in the "2025" column. I've attached screenshots. I have seen other messages in this forum indicating the same issue.   

Here's how to look for the correct User ID and reset password so you can access your account.  When you go through the steps below, you may discover more than one User ID, i.e., multiple accounts.   In case that method doesn't work for you, at the bottom of this posting I also left info on how to look for/recover an account using another method that doesn't require a phone or email address (User ID).   To get a list of your User IDs, reset password, and recover account access, etc., you can use the tool at the link below.  When using the Account Recovery tool, try using your phone number first if you can still access it.   After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access. NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below.  You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session. https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery If still no luck after running that on your phone number you can still access and email address(es) that you can access,  here's another method: Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, scroll down a bit, then choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by other parameters.
