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.

In 2025, as a single Virginia taxpayer, I received a $200 tax rebate from Virginia, which is NOT a tax refund.   But Desktop doesn't appear to offer a way to enter this Virginia tax rebate, so I use the 1099-G tax refund screen.   On the TurboTax Desktop screen titled "Tell us about the refund you received in 2025", there is a blue link which says:   "How do I enter my rebates for VA or IL ?" and when I click on that link, a TurboTax Help window appears which says:   Help content not found for com.intuit.ctg.tpshelpscreen:///S2025US1040PER/hypg1099home   Please answer "How do I enter my rebates for VA or IL ?"   In the meantime, I went ahead and entered this $200 rebate as if it was a refund, and according to the Desktop form "St Refund Wks", this $200 tax rebate is not considered taxable income by TurboTax--even though I itemized deductions in the prior year (2024), including state and local taxes.   Is this correct ?

If you are amending for the Premium Tax Credit reported on a Form 8962, you MUST enter a Form 1095-A so that the TurboTax program can complete the Form 8962.   To enter, edit or delete your Form 1095-A - Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business) Click on Deductions and Credits Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Scroll down to Medical On Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A), click the start or update button The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 03/04/2026   An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

J'ai finalement trouvé la solution.   Si la période pour laquelle vous réclamez des frais médicaux n'est PAS l'année fiscale (dans mon cas, c'est du mai 2024 à mai 2025 comme prévu par la règlementation), il faut renseigner le montant payé sur l'année précédente dans le formulaire QREPORTS, 3e ligne "Cot. au régime d'assurance médicaments du Québec si la période de référence n'était pas le 31 décembre". Ce montant sera alors correctement reflété dans QMED.   NOTE à TurboImpôt: il serait judicieux que dans Easy Step, si les dates ne sont pas l'année fiscale, un avertissement soit donné de compléter QREPORTS (ou mieux, le faire automatiquement comme au fédéral). 

A business expense is something that you have to buy in order to do the job, or something that you only buy to do the job.   It sounds like you were at home doing this job using equipment that you already had.  So you did not have to spend any money on anything in order to do this.     If you had to drive to any locations in order to do these jobs then you can take a deduction for the mileage that you drove.  If you purchased any office supplies in order to these jobs that would be a deduction.   If you have an area of your home that you used exclusively for business - it can't also double as the dining room or your bedroom - then you can take a deduction for a home office.  TurboTax will walk you through the steps for that.

That's exactly how I've entered my annualized / uneven income, and estimated taxes in the past; however, this year, using the online version of the TurboTax Pennsylvania module, it doesn't work like that ... there's a glitch as I described in my original message.  I just tried it again, and the problem is still as I originally described.  Also, this is the ONLINE version that I am having problems with.

Thank you Volvo Girl 15. Your info was excellent and I checked box 32a. It didn't fix the issue but I went back to the step by step I had not checked the box pertaining to type of Independent Contractor. Once I checked the proper box it accepted my deductions and lowered my tax obligation. 

The actual residence of your rental property is entered under Wages & Income >> Rental Properties >> Rental Expenses >> Assets for Depreciation. This article will provide steps, depending on which version of TurboTax you are using: Where do I enter income and expenses from a rental property?   See this article for a list of assets that may be depreciated: How do I handle capital improvements and depreciation for my rental?

Thank you for the update. This doesn't instill much confidence in TurboTax anymore. I guess after nine years with TurboTax, I'll be using something different next year since it's been weeks and the issue hasn't been corrected.

This doesn't work.  Even when I wipe and start over, it won't let me pick the DIY product anymore.    It says "Great Choice" but I haven't even picked anything yet.   Clicking the "see other options" just shows me options but you can't pick anything.
