No-----did you enter W-2's from some earlier year?   You cannot use online TurboTax for an earlier year.  Online is only for 2025.       You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2025 only.   Only a 2025 return can be prepared online and only a 2025 return can be e-filed.   Online preparation and e-filing for 2022, 2023, and  2024 is permanently closed.

The tax credit can be used to reduce your state income tax to $0 for the current year, and any unused credit can be carried over to future years. I suspect what is happening is because you are reporting a large gain from the rental property that is causing your state tax to increase sufficiently to allow for the accumulated AB150 credit to be used in the current period.   The credit is used to reduce your tax up to the amount of the credit or to $0. You may still have a refund though since once your tax is reduced to $0, any tax withheld would be refunded to you.     You can use these instructions to see a summary of your state taxes to see if your tax is being reduced to $0 and you are then receiving a refund of your taxes paid in:   Choose Tax Tools from your left menu bar in TurboTax Online while working in your program Choose Tools Choose View Tax Summary You may need to be working in your state tax return to see the state tax summary.

To solve this excess Roth contribution you made for tax year 2024, you need to do the following:   For tax year 2024: You need to amend your 2024 tax return to report the excess contribution on form 5329 and pay the 6% excise tax. This is because the excess contribute was not withdrawn before the due date of the 2024 tax return (April 15, 2025).    Please read this TurboTax Help topic on how to amend a prior-year tax return.   For tax year 2025: As the excess contribution remained in the account as of December 31, 2025, an excise tax of 6% is due for 2025. You have to file form 5329 for 2025. To avoid continuing to pay the excise tax of 6% in 2026, you need to withdraw the excess together with its related earnings before December 31, 2026.   For tax year 2026: You'll receive a form 1099-R with the total amount withdrawn (excess plus earnings) in box 1 and earnings in box 2a. The code in box 7 should be 8J. You'll enter that 1099-R in your 2026 tax return and the earnings will be taxed.    If there is a loss, that loss is not deductible.   [Edited 3/24/2026 | 1:16 PM PST    

For 2025, there is a senior citizen enhanced deduction—not a tax credit—of up to $6,000 available for taxpayers aged 65 or older. This deduction is in addition to the higher standard deduction for seniors and phases out if your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $75,000 for single filers or $150,000 for married filing jointly. TurboTax should automatically apply this deduction during your tax return preparation if you entered your age and income correctly and meet the eligibility. If TurboTax isn't including it, double-check that your birthdate and income information are accurate in the program. Also, ensure your filing status is not Married Filing Separately, as this deduction is not allowed then. The deduction reduces your taxable income rather than providing a direct tax credit.

If you are filing a joint return but only one of the spouses is 65or older, then the standard deduction of $33,100 is correct.    $31,500 + $1600  = $33,100   2025 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS SINGLE $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind + $2000) MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind +1600) MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $31,500  (65 or older/legally blind + $1600) HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $23,625 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)  

This community is much better than Turbo Tax experts  whom I did screen sharing with, yet did not solve the issue .  In short , Turbo Tax Online should clear up this problem. Perhaps add a button "Back To Interview "

I'm having this issue too. I answered "No" to the question asking if I have this situation because I navigated here by accident, and it won't clear the need for Review here and is blocking my ability to submit my taxes.

1. Under New York's Convenience of the Employer rules, New York state will almost undoubtedly look to tax all the income.   They are very aggressive especially with remote employees for companies that do not have an office outside of New York where they can at the very least assign the employee to.   2. You should allocate the income to New York and take the credit for taxes paid to another state for Illinois.   3. New York in general, does not look at physical work location with the Convenience of the Employer rules- they look at the other factors, see TSB-M-06(5)I:(5/06) - Tax.NY.gov.   They have been successful in litigation unfortunately, which allows them to be so aggressive.
