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.  

@GoldenBailey  the LTC distributions should be the name of the person the tax return is being made for if filing single, so name entry is not required.  If filing jointly, you would need to locate the 1099-LTC form data entry (ref above posts on crazy process). If you are using the interview approach to completing your return, that probably won't help here. You'll need to go to the form option to enter that data under "other/less common income." If filing jointly, the instructions are to enter the total LTC distributions received, but you don't have to enter the name or names of individuals - they don't seem to want individual reporting, just the total disbursements. Odd, but that's what the TurboTax tool says... hope that helps.

I answered all the questions correctly. As I said, my child meets all the criteria. Finally figured out that if I uncheck the box for a full time student, then the credit is given. That's a software bug. The criteria for the Credit for Other Dependent is not based on whether the person is a student or not.

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)   The deduction is not on the same line as your standard deduction.  It is shown separately.     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. IRS Schedule 1-A https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/f1040s1a--dft.pdf   Need to see it? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/preview-turbotax-online-return-filing/L77WCkvnu_US_en_US?uid=m681fkhr   If you are not getting the senior deduction it is because Your date of birth in MY INFO shows that you were not 65 by the end of 2025 Your income is too high You are filing married filing separately    

Your dependent is not required to have a six digit IP PIN.   Do you want one for them?   https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/retrieve-your-ip-pin   If you have a 6 digit PIN issued to you by the IRS you need to enter it in order to e-file.  Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Return Info>Identity Protection PIN and enter the six-digit PIN.    

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 with any other sch 1-A amounts. Turbo Tax automatically includes it if you qualify. If you are married you have to file a Joint return.

Enter Zero in box 17.  TurboTax wants to know how much of the amount in Box 16 was withheld for taxes.  It doesn't take a blank as a zero, so it's prompting issues.  Once you enter a zero there, you should be good to go.

Under Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T) I am unable to report education expenses for a non-dependent. When adding a student under Education Summary, there is not an option to include anyone not designated in My Info. I thought I solved the problem by adding the student to my household, but clearly not a dependent. This resulted in a flag during the final review and would not allow me to submit the e-file. I’m at a loss as to how to fix this.
