You will have to file a 1040- NR tax return for US Nonresident Alien. TurboTax currently doesn't support this.    Turbotax has partnered with Sprintax to offer both federal and state tax preparation for international students, scholars, and nonresident foreign professionals.

Use these steps to downgrade your TurboTax Online product to a less costly or free edition: Open your return if you haven't already. In the left menu, select Switch Products.  Select Downgrade. Note: TurboTax Free Edition is for customers who are filing Simple Form 1040 Returns only (no schedules except for Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit and Student Loan Interest). Roughly 37% of taxpayers qualify. If you have additional forms or attachments, you’ll need to use a different TurboTax product.   You can also clear and start over to switch to a different product. This option erases your information to give you a fresh start in the new product you've chosen. ^ TurboTax FAQ - How do I downgrade to a different TurboTax Online product?   Learn more: What qualifies as a simple tax return for TurboTax Free Edition?
I use TurboTax for desktop.
Can you clarify what form? Thanks. @brandy-b17 
Yes you get both.   Are you filing Single?  The Standard Deduction is on 1040/1040SR line 12e and the new Enhanced Senior Deduction is on line 13b.

I have entered these as assets in Turbotax Premier but they do not show up as increasing the cost basis of the property. How do I add them to the adjusted cost basis of the property?

Consider reviewing the Education section within the Deductions and Credits part of your tax return. When entering information from Form 1098-T, you will be asked if additional scholarship money was applied toward legitimate educational expenses not already listed on the form. You should answer "yes" to this question and then input the specific tuition amount that the scholarship funds were used to cover.  
Did your return say QCD by line 4b?   I wouldn’t worry about it anymore.   If you want to add a statement you would have to mail your return.

Hi, I can't figure out where to report extra income that isn't covered in the topics listed in turbotax Deluxe. The IRS says to report income from managing an estate/will on 1099, schedule 1, page 2 . Turbotax Deluxe doesn't seem to have any flexibility despite its increased cost this year.

What else I needed?
No, do not use "short sale".  Assuming you bought the original stock that had the spin-off, you would enter "Purchase".  If not, enter the method you acquired that stock.  
@VolvoGirl No, I had efiled! Which made it even more frustrating that it had been missed. When I spoke to the IRS, they said they missed it completely and it was an error.
