Today 4Mar26 and I was able to amend my 2025return via 1040X.  Using desktop Deluxe.   BUT the rendering to a .PDF (from the forms view) is NOT correct.  Acrobat notifies you via pop-up that there is a problem and to "contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."  The form view is correct.   I have not been able to pass this info to Turbo Tax support - Can anyone here pass this along?    Thank you

It depends. If you received a 1099-G for unemployment you can use the steps in the link below. Where do I enter a 1099-G for unemployment or paid family leave? A control number is not needed unless you want to import. If you type your W-2 yourself, it will not be needed and you can proceed.   @Jdones2006 

is this Schwab?  If a bond has OID they report the full premium adjustment on 1099-OID but most of it is likely related to income on 1099-INT so you end up with Box 10 > Box 11.  I've never been able to get Box 10 to work in Turbotax I usually put it as $0 and make an "Other" adjustment to the 1099 and get to right place for Fed and State.

Unemployment compensation is reported to you on a Form 1099-G by your state.   To enter unemployment compensation Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business) Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business) Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Under Unemployment On Unemployment and Paid Family Leave, click the start or update button

Overtime isn't reported in box 12 in 2025.  It may show up in box 14 and it will have a category of "Overtime'.   If it doesn't appear there, you will have an opportunity later in the interview to post it. You can use your final pay stub to calculate the overtime.   To get credit for the deduction of Overtime pay. Post your W-2 exactly as it appears. Continue through the interview. You will reach the screen Let’s Check for Uncommon Situations Select the box that says Overtime. There are alternatives on how to enter this information If this information is NOT in box 14 on your W-2 It may be on your final pay stub, You may be able to find the stub online, or Contact your employer Qualified overtime isn't taxable in 2025.  This doesn't apply to the straight-time portion of ‌earnings.   The straight time portion of the overtime hours is still taxed. However, the additional 50% incentive is not. Your full W-2 wages (including overtime) are reported on 1040 tax return. The deduction is applied on line 13b of the same tax return. Details of the entry can be found on Form 1A in Part III.  For more information on the topic, see No tax on Overtime  Employers may include Qualified Overtime in Box 14 of the W-2.  

 TurboTax will automatically calculate it based on your date of birth and your income. If eligible you will find this on Schedule 1-A Part V and line 13b of your form 1040. There is not a special section or box to check.  Just enter your correct information and TurboTax will take it from there.     For Tax Year 2025 through 2028, seniors may claim an additional deduction of $6,000 per taxpayer over 65.  This is NOT a refundable credit.  This is a deduction of your income.  If your income is above $75,000 ($150,000 if Married filing jointly) the bonus deduction decreases by $.06 for every dollar over the relevant amount.  This deduction is available whether you itemize or take the standard deduction. If your filing status is married filing separately you are not eligible for this deduction. This bonus deduction is ONLY for those who were 65 or older as of December 31, 2025, it does not apply to those who are blind and under 65.
