Yes.  After you enter your Form W-2 and "Continue" you will be on a screen with "Let's check for other situations".  The first item on the list is "Overtime".  Check that box and enter your overtime deduction.  

I don’t think there is a fix yet. Are you getting your taxes rejected by the IRS? If so, they should be telling you which form is the problem. Usually it’s form 5695. My taxes were eventually accepted but after several weeks I received a letter in the mail from the IRS and now I’m working with them through IRS.gov/connect to try to get this pushed through. It’s a slow and frustrating process that should be a simple fix. Good luck. 

This isn't working. I am using the online version and have went in there what feels like a hundred times and went throught every part of the process and nowhere does it ask for my PY AGI... This is beyond anoying... What can I do to get this ammnendment filed?

@JamesG1 Not sure I follow: "You would enter the box 1 income in one pass.  Then enter the box 2 income in the second pass." I'm assuming you are stating I have to select this box and add the same K1 again but not enter the partner's share in the second K1  

You not have to enter the EIN for the bank in most cases. Enter the interest as if you got a 1099-INT, but only enter the name of the bank and the amount of interest. Leave everything else blank. There may be a few states that require the EIN, in which case you will have to use JamesG1's method.  

You report a QCD in the 1099-R entry section.   After entering the 1099-R details, there are a series of screens with questions about the distribution.  You need to go through all the screens/questions. Do not exit the 1099-R entry section before answering all the questions. When asked "Did you transfer all or part of this money directly to charity?", select Yes. Enter the exact amount of the distribution that was transferred directly to the charity. TurboTax will report the full distribution on Form 1040, Line 4a, but will not include the QCD portion in the taxable amount on Line 4b.   A direct transfer of funds from your IRA custodian, payable to a qualified charity is referred to as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).  QCDs can be counted toward satisfying your required minimum distributions (RMDs) for the year, as long as certain rules are met.  While the QCD amount is not taxed, you may not then claim the distribution as a charitable tax deduction.   Here are the requirements for making QCDs: You must be 70½ or older to be eligible to make a QCD. QCDs are limited to the amount that would otherwise be taxed as ordinary income. This excludes non-deductible contributions. The maximum annual amount that can qualify for a QCD is $108,000. This applies to the sum of QCDs made to one or more charities in a calendar year. (If, however, you file taxes jointly, your spouse can also make a QCD from his or her own IRA within the same tax year for up to $108,000.) For a QCD to count towards your current year's RMD, the funds must come out of your IRA by your RMD deadline, generally December 31. Any amount donated above your RMD does not count toward satisfying a future year's RMD. Funds distributed directly to you, the IRA owner, and which you then give to charity do not qualify as a QCD.

I have a similar problem. I have gone to the section you specified. I have no W-2s, it's al self-employment income.    There is an option to "Copy current year Schedule C information to next year". I choose "Yes" and Continue.   Absoltuely nothing is copied, and it wants me to manually enter every piece of info.   It seems a bug. My notes from last year indicate it worked then.

Is the loan secured by your home? If not, you cannot deduct the interest. See the definition of Secured Debt in IRS Publication 936. You are correct that mortgage interest that was not reported on Form 1098 has to be entered on Schedule A line 8b. The entry can only be made in forms mode. That means there is no way to make the entry in TurboTax Online. Forms mode is only available in the TurboTax Desktop software, not in TurboTax Online. In forms mode, enter the interest directly on Schedule A line 8b. Do not use the Home Mortgage Interest Worksheet. But when you enter it this way, TurboTax will not calculate any limits that might apply to the deduction. See "Part II. Limits on Home Mortgage Interest Deduction" in IRS Publication 936 to see if any limits apply to your deduction. Whatever the situation is, keep in mind that you cannot deduct your entire mortgage payment. You can deduct only the portion of the payment that is interest. Note that mortgage interest is an itemized deduction. It will not make any difference in your tax or your refund unless your total itemized deductions are more than your standard deduction.  

You didn't comment on any of the other things I mentioned.  If you did all the rebooting computer, modem, and router, tried without a VPN; tried wired connection instead of wireless, etc. then I  don't know much more to say.   However, yesterday was a Windows update.   Did you perform the update?  If so, it may not be completely installed and could be "breaking" something until the remnants of Windows update are installed.  

Some report that using dummy 9-digit numbers will not electronically file.   Consider reporting the interest as other income by following these steps:   Select Federal from the left side of the menu. Select Income from the left side of the menu. Scroll down to Less Common Income.  Click the down arrow to the right. Click Start / Revisit to the right of Miscellaneous income…. Click Start / Revisit to the right of Other reportable income. At the screen Any other taxable income? select Add. Enter the description of the income.  The income will be listed on line 8z of the Schedule 1 Additional Income and Adjustments to Income and line 8 of the Federal 1040 tax return.
