If they had a green card and worked from the US that would make them a tax resident of the US right? How can they claim any Foreign Tax Credit if they were physically in the US. My understanding is that they would have to file all taxes in the US and claim a tax credit from the foreign country which has incorrectly withheld taxes, in this case Kazakhstan? Also they would have to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes unless there is a agreement between the two countries?

You mean where to open the uninstall window?   In Windows 11, type this text in the box on the bottom panel, and open the "Add or remove programs" window.    Then in the blank box at the top, type "C++" or "Visual C++", you can find your distribution version(s). You can repair these packages following the descriptions in my previous reply. Hope it works for you. Good luck!      

If you are entering your Form W-2 into TurboTax you will enter your Employer ID from your Form W-2 into the TurboTax program using the steps below.   To get to the entry screens for a Form W-2 you will: Click on "Search" at the top right of your TurboTax screen Type "W-2" into the search box Click on the link "Jump to W-2" Your screen will say, "Let's start with a bit of information from your W-2" The screen asks for your Employer ID Number (EIN). You will find this number in "Box b" of your Form W-2.   The proper format for an employer's EIN is as follows: A 9-digit number formatted as XX-XXXXXXX.   Make sure the number that  you entered is exactly 9 digits in the XX-XXXXXXX format. Make sure there are no extra spaces or hidden characters.    You can try manually re-entering the EIN from Box b of your W-2.   You can also try deleting the existing Form W-2 and re-entering it.   If you are getting an error message, you can try using a different browser to resolve it.    Also try clearing your cache and cookies.   Click here for How to clear your cache.   Click here for How do I delete cookies?   If you believe your employer's EIN is incorrect, you can call your employer or payroll company and ask them to verify that it is correct.   Click here for How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online?

Yes, as @xmasbaby0 stated, you will need to wait until your return is fully processed (refund received or payment processed) to make any changes and you should not access your return in TurboTax until then. According to this TurboTax Forms Availability chart, we currently project that Form 1040-X for 2025 will become available on February 18, 2026.   @bjeannichols2020 

As MarilynG1 said in her answer above, any rental income from Indiana (or any other state) should be reflected in your federal Adjusted Gross Income; therefore, you should not have to enter anything unless you realized a loss on the rental.  If you did need to add your rental income or subtract your rental loss, it would be the NET amount, not the gross.  The gross amount is rental "revenue".  The net (after expenses) amount is either income or loss.  The instructions may not specifically state that, but that's what it is - by definition.  

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.     If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed   The Form 1040X you need becomes available in late February,  But wait until your return has been processed.

The “senior deduction” is added automatically by the software based on the date of birth and filing status you entered into MY INFO.  You do not need to take any extra steps to enter it. (And…the new senior deduction has nothing to do with whether you are getting Social Security)     2025 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS SINGLE $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind + $2000) MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind +1600) MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $31,500  (65 or older/legally blind + $1600) HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $23,625 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)     For 2025 through 2028 there is an extra  deduction amount of up to $6000 per individual 65 or older filing Single, MFJ, or HOH which is phased out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers.   (The deduction phases out completely at $175.000 Single or HOH, or $250,000 joint)   The $6,000 senior deduction will be calculated on 1040 Schedule 1-A page 2 Part V Enhanced Deduction for Seniors which goes to 1040 line 13b. It is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e.  Turbo Tax automatically includes it.

You say that you are amending to claim your son as a dependent.  That would be accomplished in MY INFO in the federal software, and then it will flow to the state if you need to amend state.     What does claiming your son have to do with your school district tax that was on your state return?   Or were there some mistakes made with that as well?

The 2025 version of TurboTax Desktop I reviewed doesn't directly ask if the property is an RV in the Mortgage Interest section.  At the entry screen, "Let's get the details from your 1098", there is a link you can click, "What if I don't have my 1098?". The following explanation appears if you click on the link:   "That's OK. You can get your mortgage info by going to your lender's website. Other documents, like your monthly mortgage bills and your closing disclosure (or HUD-1), will also have some of this info...". and other info relating to 1098's.    Below this explanation, another link appears, "Are there exceptions?" Click that and more explanations appear, including "If you have a loan on an RV, travel trailer, tiny home on wheels, or a boat that you use as a home, your lender won't send you a 1098, but you might still be able to claim this interest."    If you have a qualifying RV, you can still enter the interest in the Mortgage Interest section.    A mobile home, RV, house trailer, or houseboat that has sleeping, cooking, and toilet facilities counts as a main or second home, and as long as it meets all the other requirements for deducting mortgage interest, you can claim the interest like an immovable home.   See IRS Publication 936 for more information on mortgage interest deductions. @dfergy @wkgreen1   

My results are the same as wewers34, I'm using the online version. And if you look at the HSA Summary, there is no line for "employee contribution". Annette, when you test, you need to enter the HSA info first without any extra employee contribution (you may see a field for it the first time), then try to go back a subsequent time to enter that info. See dialogs with no mention of employee contribution outside the W2; I don't mind if people see my HSA distribution figures.
