Health care insurance premiums, including dental and vision insurance premiums, and other medical expenses that you paid with out of pocket funds and were not reimbursed are an eligible medical expense that you can deduct using Schedule A for itemized deductions. However, only your total medical expenses that are greater than 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) can be deducted. Your total itemized deductions reported on Form 1040 Schedule A must be greater than the standard deduction for your filing status to have any tax benefit. Standard deductions for 2025 Single - $15.750 add $2,000 if age 65 or older Married Filing Separately - $15,750 add $1,600 if age 65 or older Married Filing Jointly - $31,500 add $1,600 for each spouse age 65 or older Head of Household - $23,625 add $2,000 if age 65 or older To enter your medical expenses - Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business) Click on Deductions and Credits Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Scroll down to Medical On Medical Expenses, click the start or update button

I went through every step on my own to try and solve this, but then I finally had my computer guy log onto my computer and it turns out my VPN was always turning back on every time I restarted my computer.  Once he disabled it fully, my TT was working again without having to re-activate.  I hope this works for you guys.  I spent a couple of hours on the phone with TT before that.  The gal was very nice and helpful, but without seeing what was happening on my computer, she didn't catch it either.  I   So my advice is to disable all your security FULLY and then restart and try.  I sure hope they fix this though, as I do not like having to disable security.    

Turbo tax is doing this purposely to force you to pay the $40 fee to use your federal tax refund to pay to file your state taxes. SCAM! So the $25 fee to file my state tax becomes $65. Done with turbo tax. Moving on to CashApp.

It depends. If your tax returns have been filed and accepted then you will need to amend them to remove the duplicate entires. Do not change your tax return until you read all the instructions. TurboTax needs to know the original numbers and the corrected numbers to provide the correct end results before you prepare it.   If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.    You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed. You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return. Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected. You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment Amend a tax return for the current tax year - you can amend now as long as the original returns have been accepted.

Assuming you are also seeing the issue where TurboTax for Mac asks for your "keychain", what it wants you to enter is the password you have set to log in to your computer. Please clarify if you have a different issue.   @kevinshoemaker7206
