If you are a business owner, see this TurboTax support FAQ for how to enter a W-2 or Form 1099 for employees or subcontractors - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-forms/create-w-2-1099-forms-employees-contractors/L0yjM6jDz_US_en_US

TO ALL UPSET ABOUT THIS:   TurboTax does NOT read these messages. You need to express your frustration to corporate. Unfortunately, it may be too late, as they deleted the app, site and all data.   try deductib.ly instead. $20/year; does the same thing; has  a phone app and site to track your donations. (I am NOT the maker, nor do I get paid to promote it).

I am the originator of this subject. Thank you for discovering this hopefully final Wis problem and providing a roadmap of how to deal with it. Today I got my 1099-R's and entered them into TurboTax. I had exactly the $48k Sch SB Line 16 problem you described, and was able to save a lot of time and fuss by following your detailed roadmap.  And I strongly agree that TurboTax needs to make this path obvious to senior users.

Share your opinion--took forever to even find a downloadable version, and then had to justify why I didn't use the Internet version.  Same thing happening with MS Office--they do everything they can to push you to use the internet 365 version, but I refuse, installing it on my computer and not giving them access to my work. 

One possibility is that your dependent care credit is more than your income tax. The credit cannot be more than your income tax after other credits have been deducted. Also, you can't take a credit to the extent you have been reimbursed by your employer for dependent care expenses. You can look on lines 16 to 24 on your Form 1040 to see your tax and credits from your tax.   To view your form 1040 and schedule 1 to 3:   Choose Tax Tools from your left menu bar in TurboTax Online while working in your program Choose Tools Choose View Tax Summary See the Preview my 1040 option in the left menu bar and click on it Choose the Back option in the left menu bar when you are done        

Several states have a renter's credit involving heat. You can search for renter's credit or go through the state and look for deductions and credits. You can reply with the state and we can give specific directions.

If you aren’t getting the new Enhanced Senior Deduction on Schedule 1-A which goes to 1040 line 13b some things to check…. Check your date of birth under My Info If you are married you have to file a Joint return not Separate Is your AGI over 175,000 Single or 250,000 Joint?

Temporary solution - TT says return amenders must wait until mid February to e-file w/TT. Even though you can e-file current year returns starting today, Jan 26. And, yes, you must change the filing date on amended 1040X to a 2025 date. (Why the date change? They don't know.) Will I finally be able to e-file my amended 2024 return?  We'll see in February, I guess.

Sounds like it doesn't  think you are filing a Joint return.  Go back to My Info and check that she is listed and that under your name it shows filing Joint.   Are you entering the Social Security in the right spot?  If you are filing Joint there is 2 columns, one for  you and one for spouse.     Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099 under Federal Taxes (Personal for Home&Business) Wages and Income Then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security Then the second line - Social Security (SSA-1099. RRB-1099) - click the Start or Revisit button On the SSA- 1099 entry screen, if you are married there will be 2 columns, one for each spouse. If it doesn't show 2 columns then go back to My Info or Personal and edit the primary spouse to make sure you checked married and filing together.

This answer does not address the issue of the other income descriptions not appearing on Schedule 1. I’m sure both efrankww and I (who are using TurboTax Desktop) know how to print all the forms and worksheets, and in any event the issue has to do with which forms would be printed for filing.
