@Jeannette1 I agree the update process has been super frustrating this year with very poor communication. That said, I was able to update my rental property depreciation in TT online a few days ago and I successfully filed my taxes today. If you can't find it, look for the Assets section under Rental Income. I did have to fix an error in the real estate income calculation, so definitely double check your actual forms before filing, but you shouldn't have to do it manually. 

Wisconsin Efile rejected repeatedly.  Was told that the bug fix would be available today, Feb. 26, 2026.  I updated the desktop version, but still get efiles rejected.  I don't want to paper file.  Help!  Error code TY25_WI_Retirement_V2_Narrow.

  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.on line 13b.     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.
