If you had even $400 of self-employment income you are required to file a tax return and pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.
If you have a 1095A for marketplace health insurance you are required to file.
If your ONLY income is Social Security you are not required to file unless you have a 1095A.
If you had a W-2 job, you are required to file a tax return if you made as much as the standard deduction amount for your filing status.
And..of course, if you had federal or state tax withheld from your paychecks, you can file a tax return to seek a refund even if you made less than your standard deduction amount.
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)
Who has to file?

Have you never done 2 or more returns in the past? You can do unlimited returns in the Desktop program. You have to be careful if your name is the same as another return. Turbo Tax saves the tax returns as 2024 Smith J Form 1040 Individual Tax Return.tax2024. So if you have two or more returns for people that have the same last name and first initial the second return will overwrite the first one. So you have to be sure to first save the returns with names completely different to keep them apart. Don't use the default name given by the program. You need to go to FILE - SAVE AS and give the return a unique name you can tell apart. At least add the full first name. You don't have to use or accept the name Turbo Tax gives it. I save all my returns with different names.

I am using Turbo Tax Deluxe 2026. I see the screen to add 1099-LTC. I enter "Yes" to the first screen asking if I received a LTC reimbursement, but it keeps flipping me to "No". I enter the # of days a few screens further down and the actual costs, but there is no box to add reimbursements. What am I doing wrong?

Today is 2/10/2026 and I am also having problems seeing my actual Forms K-1 (page 1) for any of the partners in a Partnership. In the Forms view I can see the data, but when I want to Print the forms (or a complete return), page 1 of the K-1s shows up completely blank! TurboTax, please have somebody look at this issue and all of the people having problems with it and provide a fix. Thank you.

You need to enter your contributions to a Private School Tuition Organizations, in your Arizona return. In the interview there is a question to select School Tax Credit, and mark the box for "I donated to an Arizona private school by April 15, 2026."
After this you will add the information for the school and at the bottom, you can enter the date and amount of the donation.

If the IRS has no record of your 2024 tax return being filed, than you would not amend it. You would have to file a tax return for 2024. . If you owe money, you may face penalties (up to 25% of unpaid tax) and interest.
If you owe money and fail to file your taxes on time, you’ll likely be assessed what’s called a Failure to File Penalty. The penalty is 5% of your unpaid tax liability for each month your return is late.
If you are unsure or believe you filed a tax return for 2024, you should verify it. To verify if you filed your 2024 tax return, the fastest way is to access your online IRS Individual Account. You could also try using the Where's My Refund tool or call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 to check if your return is on file.
You should be able to print your 2024 return from your TurboTax account (that says your return was accepted on April 07, 2025). You can file it by mail. Click here for How do I file my return by mail?
If you don't have your 2024 tax return, TurboTax can help you prepare it. Miss the deadline? File 2024 taxes. TurboTax also has a new program this year where you can file your 2024 and 2025 taxes together if you use TurboTax Full-Service.

It depends.
If you received a 1099-C (which you should not have) or reported the income on your federal return (which you are not required to do for PSFL), you would have to subtract the amount from your Minnesota income. If the amount was not reported on the federal return, you do not have to enter for Minnesota. For example, Americorps program tuition reimbursements would be included on the federal return, but PSFL is not.

Hello. I took the paid medical leave (PML) in 2025 and received the payment from the state (WA). According to the state, they do not provide 1099 for PML. I understand PML benefit is taxable income for the employer paid portion. As I was searching for the information on how to calculate the taxable portion, I see below information and would like to verify if this is correct. "For Employers with 50 or more employees, the premiums are 0.92% of each employee’s gross wages (not including tips), up to the Social Security cap. The breakdown for 2025 is Employers pay 28.48% of the total, and Employees pay 71.52%. This suggests that 28.48% of your medical benefits would be taxable income. But Wait! That’s not the whole story. If you dig a little deeper into the calculation of premiums, it turns out that Family Leave premiums and Medical Leave premiums are not divided equally, even though they are paid together as part of the same tax return filed with Employment Security. In fact, the Family Leave portion of the premium comes entirely out of the Employee share. The Family Leave portion accounts for 48.22% of the total premium per employee, with the remaining 51.88% considered Medical Leave. We don’t really care about the Family Leave portion for our purposes here (it’s always taxable income), but suddenly the amount of Medical Leave benefits that are taxable just got larger. Instead of paying 28.48% of Medical Leave premiums, large employers in Washington are actually paying 55.00%!! That means 55% of Medical Leave benefits paid under this program should be considered part of a taxpayer’s gross income." If this is correct & hypothetically, if I received $10K for PML, then $5,500 is taxable income. And I can enter this as other income when filing with Turbo Tax program. Did I understand correctly? I'd appreciate very much for your comment & advice. Thank you.
