@MelindaS1 The bug I reported has not been fixed. I know that the information can be directly entered, but it is THE IRA CALCULATOR TOOL that is at fault, as I have shown several times on this thread. I am attaching another screen print to confirm that the tool incorrectly denies the spousal contribution.

The Form 1040X is scheduled to be available on February 26.   The date is subject to change, so check on 2-26  to see if it is ready.   Before that, do not change anything at all on your return.

Yes. If you do not have income from Instacart or DoorDash for 2025, you can delete the blank form 1099s that carried over from your 2024 return using the trash can icon.   If you plan on doing this type work this year, you may want to leave the self-employment area in TurboTax alone so that everything will be there in case you have income to report on your 2026 tax return. But deleting any blank forms you are not using for 2025 is fine.

If the Florida home was your primary home, Colorado allows the exclusion for the sale of your primary home similar to as on your federal tax return.  If it does not qualify, it will be treated as the sale of a capital asset.  Colorado does not have a favourable capital gain rate- it is a flat rate of 4.4% for 2025.     If it was a rental or business property, the depreciation recaptures at the federal level applies so this is treated as normal income (which once again since Colorado does not offer special capital gain rates would not make a difference in tax owed.)   Since Florida does not have a personal income tax, there would be no credit for taxes paid to another state to apply.

Thanks for your response, TT does have our correct birthdays and we are not indicated as legally blind.  You mentioned that the $1600 additional was met if we were 65 by end of 2025, which we were.  I just went back to Schedule 1-A and it DOES say born before Jan 2 1961 for the additional deduction.  I don't know where I was looking before, maybe help files ( ? ), but I saw the date of Jan 2 1959 for this $1600 calculation which I now see is incorrect.  Thanks again for your help!

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. 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

I should add one more step. AFTER you do the above steps to adjust the NJ 457 and 403b income to only pay the taxable amount, you must then override the NJ wages to subtract out the amount you just added in on the pension worksheet. Otherwise, you will pay tax on the taxable amount of pension AND also pay an additional tax on the full amount of this distribution. Unfortunately, when you do an override in turbotax, you may have to mail in your return.
