It is too early to amend your return.  You will be able to amend as soon as the federal amended tax return form 1040-X is available for filing in TurboTax.  Use this tool to check availability of forms, including 1040X: Tax form availability   Here is some more information on filing amendments: How to File an Amended Tax Return with the IRS

The Form 1040-X to file a 2025 amended tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/19/2026   An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk

I'm having the same issue, and agree, these IRS FPLs have been out for over a year.  And we can't override the # TT populates in Form 8962 - Line 4, so we're at the mercy of TT to fix this significant bug which will cause many of their customers to pay a lot more in taxes - and many people may not even catch this issue.  I called TT Support on 12/22/25 and she took a screen shot of the issue from my PC to open an incident, but it's 6 weeks later and still not fixed.  I've called several times and wasted several hours, to get an update and usually ultimately get disconnected from their phone system.  

Thanks for all the responses.  I like the clarity of the response that if I am not seeing the deduction then: 1) age is wrong, 2) income is too high or 3) I am filing married separately.  My age was correct and I am filing jointly so those were out.  My problem is that my MAGI is too high.  This may help others so this is what I found.  The 6% phase out above the $150k is a little misleading.  It is really 6% for me and 6% for my spouse (>65) for a total of 12%.  So, the simple math is:  $1200 deduction divided by 12% (1200/.12) equals $100,000.  So the complete phase out is $150,000 + $100,000= $250,000. Married filing jointly with a MAGI over $250k does not get any senior deduction.  I am assuming that is why I don't have a schedule 1-A and my line 13b is blank.   Thanks for all the help, it was a little confusing.

If he is age 19 or older, not a full time student under the age of 24 and his total income is $5,200 or more then you cannot claim him as a dependent.   None of those living expenses to support yourself or your brother are deductible on a tax return.

I believe this is a scam as well! You stated to the gentleman that it should be only $40 feet. I process my return this year like I always do with turbo and this is the 1st time I’m getting my refund from a 3rd party.  I just received I guess what is believe to be my state fund and it was short $132. I went on the IRS and the SBTPG website and 1) it’s still showing that my taxes are still being processed and that $132 would be charged for my federal. When I put in my State nothing comes up. What is concerning if why would I have double the fee charge for both my federal and my state. Also if I’m receiving my state now , why is everything still showing that my taxes are only accepted but not refunded. I’ll will be reaching out to IRS and SBTPG
