@35792 There is no license code when using the TurboTax online web-based editions.  The license code is only used when installing the TurboTax desktop software you purchased.

The amendment form 1040X will only be available in TurboTax after 3/4/2026.   If you are expecting a refund, we recommend that you wait to amend until after the IRS has processed your original return and you have received your refund.   To amend your tax return, please read this TurboTax article.     

Every year---every year----the online fees are discounted until the end of February, and then they increase on March 1.   This is nothing new to people who have been using TurboTax.   You can pay ahead of March 1 to lock in the discounted fee even if you wait to file later.

I did a mock return with the car interest deduction and it worked as it should.   Example:  Tom is single and has an AGI of $125,000.  The car interest deduction starts to phase out for a single individual at incomes over $100,000 so he is above the phase out range by $25,000.  For every $1000 over the phaseout range, $200 will be subtracted from their eligible interest.  For this individual, the first $5000 of interest will not be deductible ($200*25000/1000).  If Tom only had $4000 of car interest eligible for the deduction, then he will get no deduction.  If Tom had $6000 of car interest eligible, then his deduction would be only $1000.

@DaveF1006 wrote: For the 2025 tax year, if you’re filing as Head of Household with a nonresident alien spouse who doesn’t have an SSN or ITIN, TurboTax will ask for a taxpayer identification number for your spouse to e-file your return. The IRS generally needs a TIN for both spouses, even if you file separately, to help prevent identity fraud and confirm your filing status.   You’re right. Your spouse isn’t a qualifying person for Head of Household since you’re using a qualifying child, and they aren’t filing a U.S. return. But to e-file, the IRS still needs a valid number. This is an IRS rule, not something required by TurboTax.   @trapezewdc  @DaveF1006  Thanks, although I believe this is a new requirement.  In previous years it was not required to enter an ID number for a spouse when filing HOH.  

The prices have gone up on March 1 for many  years now.   You can always pay early for online to lock in the current price.    Just say you want to print and it will make you pay now.  Then you can file later.   How to print your return before filing https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/can-i-print-a-copy-of-my-turbotax-online-return-before-i-file-it/01/26244
