Well, I’m not questioning the calculation on sch 1-A as that seems to be working properly.  The issue is the $$’s on line 37 aren’t being entered on the 1040 line 13b.  Line 13b is blank in my file.  Don’t know if it’s a bug in my Mac desktop version or if there’s a way to manually input the $$ amount as work around?

I've used TurboTax for over a decade, not a nube.  Tried selecting the file found (.tax2024) and browsing with the same effect.  Click on Continue, get a little no-go sound and nothing else. There are multiple posts in this thread where Mac users have reported their workaround for a relatively simple fix to the "inability to transfer 2024 into 2025" issue.    Sometimes simply exiting TurboTax, restarting the computer, and relaunching TurboTax will work and retry the transfer.  Other users relaunched 2024 TurboTax and let it update and resaved the 2024 file. Other Mac users opened their 2024 data file with 2024 TurboTax then resaved it, being careful not to add encryption.  Read through this thread and you'll see several Mac users reporting what worked for them.

I received this as well. All info I've read the 1099 should be a 1099-C, as it's a direct payment to a student loan servicer for debt forgiveness/repayment. Definitely not a 1099-NEC because that implies I had a working relationship with the Higher Ed board (We didn't). I'm currently calling the IRS and will update if I get any other info on how to report it. Also sent multiple emails to individual Texas Higher Ed departments on the matter.

Review your tax return to see whether the deduction has been reported.  The additional deduction is automatically included in your tax return when you complete the personal information section of TurboTax and enter your date of birth and filing status.   The $6,000 Enhanced Deduction for Seniors is reported on IRS Schedule 1-A Part V lines 31 through 37.   There are other qualifications.  See here.   Deduction for Seniors New deduction: Effective for 2025 through 2028, individuals who are age 65 and older may claim an additional deduction of $6,000. This new deduction is in addition to the current additional standard deduction for seniors under existing law. The $6,000 senior deduction is per eligible individual (i.e., $12,000 total for a married couple where both spouses qualify). Deduction phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 ($150,000 for joint filers). Qualifying taxpayers: To qualify for the additional deduction, a taxpayer must attain age 65 on or before the last day of the taxable year. Taxpayer eligibility: Deduction is available for both itemizing and non-itemizing taxpayers. Taxpayers must: include the Social Security Number of the qualifying individual(s) on the return, and file jointly if married, to claim the deduction. The total of IRS Schedule 1-A may be found on line 13b of the IRS form 1040.   In TurboTax Online, you may view the IRS form 1040 by selecting Tax Tools, then Tools, then View Tax Summary down the left side of the screen.   You may also print or view your full tax returns prior to filing after you have paid for the software.    View the entries down the left side of the screen at Tax Tools.

I am having the same issue now in turbotax online 2025. I haven't entered any manual entry for the 457b contribution, which is shown only in the W-2. However, TurboTax is still showing this as an excess IRA contribution. How can I get over this issue. Thanks

If your daughter files a tax return, the percentages will be allocated between the two tax returns on any basis that you choose as long as the percentages add up to 100%   If the daughter is not your dependent, as a US citizen she is must file a tax return if her income exceeds $15,750.   If she files a tax return, TurboTax will ask her to enter a 1095-A. She will enter the info from the parents' form since she does not have her own 1095-A   The next screen will ask her about your health plan being shared, so check the box.   Then she will see a screen asking for shared policy info.    You enter the following:   Enter the Social Security number in box 5 (recipient's SSN) on your parents' 1095-A. Enter the starting month and ending month that you had the insurance. Now you will be asked to enter percentages for Your Premium, Second lowest cost Silver plan (SLCSP), and advanced payment. You and your daughter will agree on what percentage of those amounts you will claim on your return, and what percentage she will claim on hers. You can use anything from 0% to 100%, as long it all adds up to 100%.   Taxpayer 1's tax return should reference taxpayer 2.  Taxpayer 2's tax return should reference taxpayer 1.   See also this TurboTax Help.
