Thanks for the reply  @AmeliesUncle ,   They're both 2012 Chevy 2500 Silverados $15K each, bought in 2024.  GVWR = 6000+ If I amend and add them as Business vehicles, there is the Special Depreciation option available I noticed...  Probably should amend then, right?  Does the amendment need to be fully handled before I send in the 2025 return?  Just don't want to flag an audit.   fyi:  Last year I used the 179 depreciation feature and completely wrote 1 of them off...   Thanks!

There is no other comprehensive deduction tracking software or application out there.  I don't think they're ever going to bring it back, but they are supposedly working on functionality that supports importing CSV files which would mean users could import a file with a list of donated items. 

I was using turbo tax for years and recently I had a bad experience with a representative Edwig she told me I would be eligible for 0 dollars on my tax return obviously she doesn’t no what she’s doing because I had H and r block look at my taxes and they offered me 500 $ back I had a hardship this year cause me not to work as much but every dollar counts and 500 is better then 0 your agents should be well trained clearly there not that being said I will not be using turbo tax moving foward for my future larger returns this is the worst company ever no one communicates because prior to that conversation a turbo tax agent told me I would get 600$ back edwige had no knowledge of that . So your company is terrible and I will not be a valued customer anymore edwige needs to go back to training she didn’t even seem like she knew what she was doing very unsatisfied customer:Annmarie Marinaro 

Question for you, did you have other real energy improvements that you claimed in earlier sections of this form, or none?  I did have real credits to file for earlier in the form, but I do not have electrical sub-panel improvements that I can file which is where 25a is located.  Should I simply edit the desktop version of this form in 25a and answer no?  The form is confusing as that section also seems to include worksheet info on other forms of energy upgrades.
