The amount of interest income should not be omitted, no matter how small.  It can be entered without having the actual Form 1099-INT by just including the bank name and interest amount as if it were reported in box 1.     If you expect the amount was near $30, you should contact the bank for verification of the interest that was earned and to inquire about the Form 1099-INT.  The Form 1099-INT should be issued to you if the interest income is greater than $10.

and just a note when you get this information you don't need to enter every state - just the ones tax exempt to you (your home state but also look out for the territories which may be exempt in your state - Puerto Rico etc) and the rest you would enter as "Multiple States".

The maximum contribution to a 403(b) is $23,500.    If you are 50 or older, there is a catch up of $7,500, making a total of $31,000.   If you are aged between 60 and 63 at the end of 2025, you are entitled to a super catch up of $11,250 making a total of $34,750.   Please check your date of birth entered in the My Info section of TurboTax.

And here's how you can view it if you meet all of the qualifications mentioned by Vanessa A above.   If your return is still in preparation in Online TurboTax, here's how you can preview the Form 1040 and confirm you are getting the enhanced senior deduction.   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)." While still on that Tax Summary screen,  you can further verify it by going over to the left column menu and 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.

No, this is a new business created in 2025. I initially selected the regular LLC option in the beginning (because our state doesn't recognize partnerships), but went back and changed it to partnership LLC. I thought that might open up the option to add a partner, but it did not.
