Yes, in order to correctly file your income tax return to include contributions to an HSA, you will need to upgrade to the Deluxe version in order to do that.   The HSA contribution is made on a "pre-tax" basis, meaning the contributions are not taxed when they are deposited into your account.  Reporting the HSA on the tax return requires an additional form 8889 (and possibly additional forms) that are not covered by the Basic edition.  Since the HSA contribution is reported to the IRS on your W2, the IRS will be expecting the proper forms for HSA contributions to appear on your return.   Additional information:  If you took distributions from the HSA to pay for medical expenses, you will also need to report those on your return.  The custodian of your Health Savings Account should provide you with a Form 1099-SA, which reports those distributions to you and the IRS.  If you didn't receive the form in the mail, you may need to find it online in your HSA account under the category of tax forms.

This does not work. I have a daughter that Turbotax is telling me isnt eligible to be a dependent. This is incorrect. And in MyInfo, I only see myself. There is not a way to see/edit anyone else. Hopefully TurboTax is working to resolve this.

Of course I tried it and I can confirm that there is NO way for force TurboTax to require the code from the authenticator to be entered.   And that totally defeats the purpose of the authenticator app.  Does Intuit really not understand this security concept? 

This isn't working for me either. I have a child that TurboTax is telling me is not eligible to be a dependent. And in Personal Info, there is no way to edit, or see dependents. I can only see myself, nothing else. 

How will I know when the "disappearing non-cash donations" bug that bit me yesterday is fixed? Is there an "update notes" I can look at re the large update that was applied this (1/22) morning? (All other software I use gives easy access to update notes...)

Thanks, I am over 65, and no rollover (G) just 7 normal distribution.  Full disclosure, am CPA and past employee of TT.  I may try to send email to old co - workers who still work there and see if they can replicate.  

The OBBA has introduced a new deduction for overtime pay from tax year 2025. You may deduct up to $12,500 of qualified overtime premium on your Federal tax return (up to $25,000 for MFJ). The deduction is gradually phased out if your MAGI exceeds $150,000 ($300,000 for MFJ). The deduction is for the overtime premium, which is the portion over your regular pay.   For tax year 2025, your employer may list non-taxable overtime in box 14 with a specific label like "FLSA OT Prem". You might also receive a separate year-end statement giving you the amount. Otherwise, you have to calculate the overtime premium to enter on your tax return.   For tax year 2026 onwards, a specific Box 12 code will be used. This amount is an above-the-line deduction, meaning it will be subtracted from your gross income on form 1040.   In TurboTax Online, this is how you enter the qualified overtime premium: After entering your form W-2, you'll see a screen titled Let's Check for Other Situations Put a checkmark on Overtime and click Continue Follow the TurboTax questionnaire to enter your qualified overtime premium This deduction will transfer to Schedule 1-A of your form 1040, then to line 13b of your form 1040.

Windows Desktop Premier:   I tried it for a newly created IRA form, for a 40 yr old .  Code 1 in box 7...and the follow-up questions do ask about that rollover. _________________ Might not be asked if code G is in box 7 since that is a direct-transfer.   Haven't tried for a non-IRA pension situation  (under age 73). Haven't tried for a person older than 73 where both an RMD and a rollover might have occurred.
