Even though it appears as non-started or start, the program still recorded your entries.  If there are numbers appearing next to the start or non-started button, then the program properly recorded your entries. Also if you use TurboTax Online, you can go to:   Tax Tools Tools  View Tax Summary Here you can get a summary of all your entries on your tax return that you recorded.  If you use the software, you can go to the forms mode so you can see if all your entries were recorded.     @alishaberg_34    @beagoodperson 

This is interesting. My AGI is nowhere near 75k after itemization, so I do not see any 2000.00 after that. Only 6k from 1-A then taxable income, total tax calculated less payments. Hmmm. Perhaps Turbo Tax isn’t updated yet?

It is automatic based on your age. It is not part of your Standard Deduction. The new Senior Deduction is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e. The 6,000/12,000 senior deduction will be calculated on 1040 Schedule 1-A page 2 Part V Enhanced Deduction for Seniors which goes to 1040 line 13b. Turbo Tax automatically includes it if you qualify. For Online version you can preview the 1040 https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/accessing/help/how-do-i-preview-my-turbotax-online-return-before-f... The maximum deduction is $6,000 for each person 65+. The phaseout is 6% of the amount by which MAGI exceeds $75,000 for single or $150,000 for married filing jointly (MFJ). The MAGI is normally the same as your AGI on 1040 line 11 but with some Foreign items from Form 2555 added back in. On a joint return the phaseout is calculated separately for each person, so the 6% phases out for each spouse. You can not get it if you file MFS Married filing Separate.

When you complete your tax return and are in the File section of the program, in Step 2 you can request your tax refund be mailed to you as a check. On the screen How would you like to receive your federal refund? scroll down and click on See other options Select Paper Check

Yes, follow these steps to enter your 1099 NEC so that it reports as a Medicaid waiver payment that qualifies as difficulty of care.   Log into TurboTax Go to Wages and Income  Once you finish answering questions about income, make a selection to add more income if you are working in TurboTax online. Select Other Common Income and then select the downward arrow to expand the section. Select 1099 NEC Next screen will ask what type of income is this. Select Medicaid waiver payments that qualify as difficulty of care in the list of selections that appear on the screen. Next enter the 1099 NEC  Now the 1099 NEC is recorded but the income reported isn't taxable on your return.    

Possibly.  If you enter cents with the dollars, TurboTax will round up or down to the nearest whole dollar based on whether the amount is under $.50 or over it.   If you are talking about whole dollars, then no, TurboTax will not round up or down for that.  

Since you are no longer married you need to create a new TurboTax account with a new User ID. Go to this TurboTax website and click on Sign up at the top right of the screen - https://turbotax.intuit.com/
