There does not seem to be a selectable option for Estimated Taxes Paid in the "Deductions $ Credits navigation option (Online Version). I only found it by searching the HELP for "estimated taxes".

Sorry. No. In order to get the childcare credit or child tax credit you must have income earned from working. If his only income is Social Security he does not have to file a tax return.

I am finishing up my 2024 taxes using TurboTax Desktop. For my residential rental property TT is using AMT depreciation deduction on my schedule E instead of regular depreciation. The MACRS uses the same percentage 3.636 for years 2 - 9 so my depreciation should be the exact same dollar amount for years 2-9. Taxes were done by a CPA for every year up until 2023 and 2024 is year 6. On my returns year 2 through 4, the regular depreciation was used and was the same value every year. In 2023, year 5, TT started doing the AMT depreciation but I didn't catch it. The AMT depreciation is higher than the regular depreciation. Mathematically the AMT depreciation will reach the depreciable basis prior to 27.5 years. TT is calculating the regular depreciation correctly so all the data was entered the right way. How can I fix this so the regular depreciation amount is used on my Schedule E? Maybe I should mention that I do not owe AMT. I read IRS publication 527 which basically describes using the MACRS tax tables. If I go into an Asset Worksheet, line 43 is a yes no question that asks to use IRTS tables for MACRS property. Turbo tax has this checked No for my rental properties. Why? It should be a Yes. If I change it to a yes, the AMT section removes the adjustment and shows AMT depreciation to match regular depreciation. However, the actual Schedule E still shows the AMT depreciation. Maybe I need to restart things to let the math work all through the system?

Did you buy a License Code for the Desktop program or the Online version? If you bought the Desktop download program did you install it? If you switch to the Online version you have to pay for Online separately. It is not the same as the program you bought. Are you on a Mac or Windows? We can try to help you start the program on your computer. I just saw a post about applications.

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

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

From TurboTax - Where's Form 8949?
Form 8949 (Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets) records the details of your capital asset (investment) sales or exchanges. Part I of the 8949 shows the short-term transactions (held less than a year) and Part II shows the long-term transactions.
When you enter investment sales or exchanges from Form 1099-B, 1099-DA, or 1099-S in TurboTax, we'll automatically fill out Form 8949 and transfer the info to Schedule D.
Capital gains and losses (Form 8949), manual navigation path:
Tax Home
Federal
Wages & Income
Investments and Savings
Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B, 1099-DA)
Form 4797 is populated after you enter the sale of a business property resulting in ordinary income treatment. You can navigate directly to enter a transaction via:
Tax Home
Federal
Wages & Income
Other Business Situations > Sale of Business Property
You may also enter relevant sales in other interview screens under Wages & Income (depending on the nature of the business and property sale) including:
Rental, Royalties, and Farm
Investments and Savings
Self-Employment
S-Corps, Partnerships, and Trusts
Less Common Income > Installment Sales

Thanks, but there are no options available under "Tax Tools." I am signed up for "Do It Yourself - Premium," but have not been prompted to pay yet. Are those Tools hidden until I pay??
