If you aren't seeing a code W in box 12 of your 2024 W2, it only means that you didn't have any contributions to your HSA through payroll deduction.  You can still contribute to your own of course.   I was using a mock return in the desktop version of TurboTax and used the section you highlighted to get a $4000 contribution to an HSA.  On the screen for "Let's enter your HSA contributions", I put in the personal contributions box $4000, then went to the the next screen and select Yes for being covered by a HDHP in 2025.  The next screen "Do any of these situations apply to [name]?" has situations that could affect the ability to make a full or even partial contribution - I had none of those checked, but if you have any of those checked, that could affect the level of the contribution you could make.  For "What type of HDHP coverage did [name] have during 2025?", I checked a self only plan every month of the year.  If you select the "Different plan types" that may also affect your contribution level.  After that screen, I get a "Your HSA Summary" screen showing a $4000 deduction.   There are many factors that could influence the level of the HSA deduction you can take.  If you want us to take a closer look at this, I'd recommend sending us a diagnostic file, which is a copy of your tax return data that has your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:   TurboTax Online:   Sign into your online account. Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen. A drop-down will appear. Select Tools On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.” This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us. Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.   TurboTax Desktop/Download Versions:   Open your return. Click the Online tab in the black bar across the top of TurboTax and select “Send Tax File to Agent” * This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created.  Click on OK and the tax file will be sanitized and transmitted to us. Please provide the Token Number  (including the dash) that was generated in the response.   *(If using a MAC, go to the menu at the top of the screen, select Help, then, “Send Tax File to Agent”)  

Les ananlystes nous avisent qu'il y a un problème avec le TP-80 ligne 110. Ce sera réglé le 2 avril prochain. Cependant, vous pouvez contourner le problème en entrant $ 0 sur la ligne 110 du TP-80. À ce moment, les revenus du T2125 seront les mêmes que ceux du TP-80. Si vous choisissez d'inscrire zéro à la ligne 110 du TP-80, vous devrez imprimer et poster votre déclaration. Nous sommes désolés des inconvénients que cela vous causent. Merci de votre patience.

@user17741347624   You stated you fully updated the program and it took updates so it is not just your security software stopping them.  You should not override anything in a program as that can cause errors and miscalculations and why it is picking the Standard Deduction for AMTI calculation.   Instead of overriding by entering zero, call up the "Tax & Int Wks"  that feeds the Sched A  and change line 1a1 (income for state tax ded calculation) to 0 and 2a (your real estate taxes paid) to 0.  This will then have 0's on the Schedule A.   See if that works. If not then please send a Token that eliminates all personal info by going to top tab choose ONLINE then send tax file to Agent and I will ask a TT agent to check your return as I can't see it.  Post the Token number you get.

I got Schwab to open a ticket in their backline to double check to see if that 1099 is correct. It should take 3-5 business days. And I was wrong about Fidelity. Box 5 in Fidelity contains only the after tax contributions.

  TurboTax automatically calculates the additional senior deduction based on your date of birth and your income. You will see it on Schedule 1a, line 13b of your 1040 form. There is nothing extra that you need to do.    Taxpayers who are 65 and older may qualify for the additional deduction of $6,000 ($12,000 for MFJ).  To be eligible for the additional deduction, you must meet the eligibility criteria below: Be 65 or older by December 31, 2025 File Married filing Jointly if married Modified adjusted gross income under $75,000 ($150,000 for MFJ).  The deduction phases out for taxpayers above this income Review the TurboTax articles Tax Counseling for Seniors and the IRS Fact Sheet Deductions for Seniors for more information.

It is automatic based on your age. It is not part of your Standard Deduction. The new Senior Deduction is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e. The 6,000/12,000 senior deduction will be calculated on 1040 Schedule 1-A page 2 Part V Enhanced Deduction for Seniors which goes to 1040 line 13b with any other sch 1-A amounts. Turbo Tax automatically includes it if you qualify. For Single the deduction starts to phase out at 75,000 and maxes out at 175,000 For Joint the deductions starts to phase out at 150,000 and maxes out at 250,000 If you are married you have to file a Joint return 
For Online version You can preview the 1040 or print the whole return https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/accessing/help/how-do-i-preview-my-turbotax-online-return-before-filing/00/26160 What do you have on 1040 or 1040SR line 13b? See the 1040 ….    

Thank you for posting your solution to the Turbo Tax 1099R issue.  I followed your advice, deleted the 1099Rs that I initially transmitted from my financial service and then re-entered them by hand.  I was then able to file my return electronically.  THANK YOU!!!!  I can't believe and am very disappointed I didn't get this solution from Turbo Tax.....

The experience you described was referred for investigation and confirmed as an issue. I was just advised that the developers are working on it and may have a solution in the first week of April. If you have not filed yet, update TurboTax and check the 8283 section after April 5th to see if the fix has been deployed.   @sapientia   

@user17739689050 I'm sorry, I though you mentioned that she was a student at some point.    @Ctokarchik Then unfortunately, we are going to have to wait and see what the CRA changed. Maybe if you login to My Account you might be able to compare the lines between what's there and what's in TurboTax to see if you can spot what has changed.
