If you are filing as Married Filing Separately you are not eligible for the deduction.  If you are Single and your AGI is over $150,000 or Married Filing Jointly and your AGI is over $250,000 you are not eligible for the deduction.   If you are age 65 or older and meet the requirement, the additional deduction is automatically added on your federal tax return.   Standard deductions for 2025 Single - $15.750 add $2,000 if age 65 or older Married Filing Separately - $15,750 add $1,600 if age 65 or older Married Filing Jointly - $31,500 add $1,600 for each spouse age 65 or older Head of Household - $23,625 add $2,000 if age 65 or older   New Bonus Standard Deduction (OBBB): An additional $6,000 deduction for taxpayers 65 and older. This is per eligible individual, meaning a married couple both over 65 could get $12,000. Important: This bonus deduction is temporary, lasting from 2025 through 2028. Income limitations: It phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers. The amount is calculated on Schedule 1-A, Part V, with that amount flowing to Form 1040 Line 13b Look at your Form 1040 - You can view your Form 1040 plus Schedules 1, 2 and 3 at any time using the online editions.

If his gross income for the year is $5,200 or more then he cannot be claimed as a dependent under the Qualifying Relative rules.   To be a Qualifying Relative - 1. The person cannot be your qualifying child or the qualifying child of any other taxpayer. A child is not the qualifying child of any other taxpayer if the child's parent (or any other person for whom the child is defined as a qualifying child) is not required to file an income tax return or files an income tax return only to get a refund on income tax withheld. 2. The person either (a) must be related to you or (b) must live with you all year as a member of your household. 3. The person's gross income for the year must be less than $5,200 (social security does not count) in 2025 4. You must provide more than half of the person's total support for the year. 5. The person must be a U.S. citizen or a U.S., Canada, or Mexico resident for some part of the year. 6. The person must not file a joint return with their spouse with the following exception - You can claim a person as a dependent who files a joint return if that person and that person’s spouse file the joint return only to claim a refund of income tax withheld or estimated tax paid.

I have wrestled with this demon for weeks.  I found 2019 desktop version is permanently dead, even if you have a complete, disk-image backup of your old machine to restore to your new machine.  Even if 2019 worked on your old machine.  TurboTax 2019 triggers a need to activate whenever it is installed on a new machine -- but Intuit has killed the 2019 servers, so it can not ever, will not ever, activate ever again. 😠   Anyone reading this have TurboTax 2019 desktop still working if you still have your old, machine it was originally installed and activated on? (I'd be surprised if it does still work now, but lucky you if it does).  If you do, that machine is golden and the only way 2019 will run for you in the future.   For those with advanced experience with Windows machines, you can create a VM in Windows 11 Pro and install 2020-2024 on that VM, activate them (if you still have any of the 5 license uses left), and then remove the NIC from the VM and save the VM for future use -- never allowing it to connect to the Internet again (and clicking close or cancel if ever prompted to update).  My hope is that this will keep 2020-2024 working in perpetuity for me as long as I have the VM.  But who knows, maybe Intuit has a time-bomb that will insist on phoning home at some point in the future and then those versions will be dead in the water, too.     We may have thought we were buying desktop software with a perpetual license that would run indefinitely, but we were misled or the fine print was obscured enough that we didn't see this coming.

To fix a 2025 return because a tip amount was entered incorrectly, you’ll file an amended return (Form 1040-X) for 2025 and correct the tips.   Log in to TurboTax, go to Tax Home, scroll down to your tax returns & documents, select the year you want to amend. Then select the Amend (change) return drop-down. Choose  Amend using TurboTax Online. Then make the changes regarding tips in the W-2 section (or self-employed section, if applicable).   For more information, see: How do I amend my federal tax return for this year?

If you normally reported the income from this business on a Schedule C, then you will report the sale of the business in the same section.   Go back to your entries and under business summary, edit the information about your business.  There is a question about stopping your work in 2025, answer yes and TurboTax will ask you the necessary questions regarding any inventory and assets to close your business.     Self-employed individuals tax center

Yes, the TurboTax Deluxe Desktop 2025 can handle CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community) prepaid medical deductions. These will be entered under the "Medical Expenses" section of Deductions & Credits in your TurboTax program. Keep in mind that you must itemize deductions on Schedule A, and these expenses are only deductible to the extent they exceed 7.5% of your 2025 Adjusted Gross Income.   In general. as Mike9241 mentions above a percentage of your CRC payments are deductible as medical expenses for both the entrance fee and monthly fees, provided they are non-refundable and used for pre-paid medical expenses.  The CCRCs usually will give a statement regarding the amount of the specific deductible percentage.   Often the CCRC calculates the percentage of your fees that will qualify as medical expenses and provides this to the residents. This is usually done using a Form  1099-MISC, which will show the amount (%) that is deductible.   To get to the medical expenses  section of TurboTax you can: Click on Search at the top right of your TurboTax screen Type medical expenses in your search box Click on the link Jump to medical expenses  Follow your TurboTax screens to enter your CCRC payments   Click here for Can I deduct nursing home costs? Click here for What Medical Expenses are Tax Deductible?   Click here for What are Tax-Deductible Medical Expenses?     Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.
