If you are a qualifying senior, TurboTax does calculate the Enhanced Senior Deduction automatically.   Be aware it is not part of the standard deduction.  It is a completely separate deduction that ends up on a different line of the Form 1040.  You do not have to make any specific entry.  Here's how to view and confirm:   For seniors age 65 and older and who meet the other qualifications for the new Enhanced Senior Deduction, TurboTax automatically fills out Schedule 1-A in the background and then enters the amount of the deduction on the Form 1040, Line 13b.  It is not part of the standard deduction--it is a completely separate deduction on its own line.   If you are "married filing jointly" and both qualify, then you both get the new deduction.  If you are "married filing separately", however, you are not eligible.   Single filers, HOH filers, and qualifying surviving spouse, if they otherwise qualify, are eligible.   You appear to be using Online TurboTax--at least that is what a tag shows underneath your question above.  If you are still preparing your online return, and want to verify that you received that new senior deduction, here's how you can preview the Form 1040 and confirm you are getting the enhanced senior deduction.   If you already printed out a copy of your return, you can view the Form 1040, Line 13b and Schedule 1-A where it was calculated.  If still preparing your return, here's how to preview it:   With your return open go to the left column menu, and click on TAX TOOLS, then subtab TOOLS. In the Tools window choose "View Tax Summary." On that Tax Summary screen you should see that you are getting "Additional Deductions (Schedule 1-A)." Then, while still on that Tax Summary screen,  you can further verify it by going over to the left column menu and under Federal clicking on "Preview my 1040."  That opens up the Form 1040 Worksheet.    Scroll down to Line 13b, and the figure there includes the enhanced senior deduction from the Schedule 1-A. And while you are there, you should see your standard (or itemized) deduction on Line 12e.

@SharonD007 the question was about sales tax - not interest loan deduction under OBBBA.   the sales tax is generally deductible if you itemize, if you take the standard dedcution, then no, you can't deduct the sales tax. 

Just so I understand your answer @DaveF1006 , consider the following hypothetical: I lived half the year in Maryland and half the year in Pennsylvania. I get my Form 1099 and it says I earned $1,000 in interest on a money market fund. I look up the supplemental information from the fund sponsor, and I see that 85 percent of the interest for this fund consists of interest on U.S. government obligations in 2025. I work on my federal return, and get to the screen in TurboTax that prompts me for interest on U.S. government obligations. I multiply 85 percent times $1,000 and enter $850. When I get to my state return for Maryland, I have to figure out how much income I earned while living in Maryland. My income for Maryland totals $50,000, including $500 in interest from my money market fund. TurboTax carries over the $850 dollars I entered in the interview for my federal return and subtracts all of it from my Maryland income. So the program deducts not only the entire $500 of interest on my money market fund, but also an additional $350. My income for Pennsylvania totals another $40,000, including the remaining $500 in interest from my money market fund. When I get to my Pennsylvania return, TurboTax applies some kind of calculation and deducts some percentage (less than 100%, let's say 50%) of my interest on U.S. government obligations that works out to $425. As a result, I've now earned $1,000 of interest on my money market fund, deducted $1,275 of interest on U.S. government obligations from the two states combined, and deducted more interest on U.S. government obligations in Maryland than the total money market interest I earned in Maryland.  Correct result?  

No, your Line 2 should not be $15,000. For your second year, your form should likely look like this: Credit for Employment during Tax Year 2025: $5,000 Unused carryover credit from Tax Year 2024: $0 (unless you didn't use all of last year's credit)* Total Credit Available for Tax Year 2025: $5,000   Here is the breakdown. The Aerospace Employee Credit is a $5,000 annual credit allowed for up to 5 years ($25,000 total over time). You don't "unlock" the future years' credits until you actually work those years. Line 1 ($5,000): This is the credit you earned specifically for working in the aerospace sector during 2025. Line 2 (Carryover): This line is only for credit you were eligible for in previous years (like 2024) but couldn't use because your Oklahoma tax liability was too low. Verify you used it all in 2024.   Example: If your 2024 Oklahoma tax bill was only $3,000, you would have used $3,000 of your credit and had $2,000 left over. That $2,000 is what would go on Line 2 this year. If you were able to use the full $5,000 to offset your taxes last year, your carryover is $0.   5-Year Limit: You can claim the $5,000 on Line 1 for a total of five years. Since this is your second year, you’ll have three more years of eligibility after this. The line 2 carryover is allowed after 5 years since you tried to use it and it was carried over. Documentation: Since you already provided your transcripts/diploma last year, you typically do not need to resubmit them for your second year unless you have changed employers.

I assume you are referring to the 6-digit email verification code some filers need when efiling.  Check your email's spam/junk folder to see if the code is ending up there.   If that's not the problem, you can go to your settings in your Intuit Account and may be able to verify your email address there if it's not verified.  Or you can change the email address if desired (using the steps below.)     Here's how: In the left menu column scroll way down to Intuit Account. Then once in the account choose tab Sign In & Security. See if your email address has a tiny link beside it that says "not verified".  If so, click that to verify. Perhaps once you verify it there in the account settings, it won't ask you to verify it again when you are efiling. Or you can change the notifications email address, if desired.  If you do, also verify it while you are in the account settings. If after all that, you still can't resolve your issue, here's how to reach TurboTax Support 5AM-9PM Pacific, 7 days/week.   FAQ: What is the TurboTax phone number? https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/what-is-the-turbotax-phone-number/00/25632   If you use Free Edition and don't have phone support, another way to reach them if you have social media is to direct message a Support agent: https://x.com/TeamTurboTax or https://www.facebook.com/turbotax

Was your Solo one done as Single or Married filing Separate?   If you did it MFS check everywhere that any spouse info didn’t transfer into 2025.   Not sure if it’s safe to transfer MFS into Single.   

Correct: You must declare your foreign private pension accounts under a subsequent question of “Foreign Financial Assets” the gain or loss but it will not change your Tax Bill until you realize/cash in/start receiving the gain or loss by withdrawing.
