Are your parents claiming you as a dependent on their return?  If another taxpayer (your parents)  is entitled to claim you as a dependent (even if they don't), you can't claim a deduction for an HSA contribution.  If this is the case, then your answer for the type of HDHP coverage you had is None for the entire year.  If don't qualify to be claimed as a dependent, then the answer for January through September is None, since you were on your parent's insurance.  If the insurance plan you have through your employer qualifies as HDHP coverage, then you the answer would be Self for those months.    To determine if you qualify to be claimed as a dependent see the following TurboTax article:   Rules for Claiming Dependents on Taxes      

Yes, if you are using TurboTax Online, you typically must upgrade to TurboTax Deluxe or higher to claim the Saver's Credit (Retirement Savings Contributions Credit).  The Saver's Credit requires IRS Form 8880, which is often tied to Schedule 3.   TurboTax Free Edition is limited to "simple returns" (Form 1040 only with limited extra schedules). Adding the Saver's Credit moves your return beyond this simple classification. 

In TurboTax Online you are able to remove the form by following these steps:   Down the left side of the screen, click on Tax Tools. Click on Tools. Click on Delete a form. Find the form listed and click Delete to the right.

To amend your 2024 Federal Carryover Worksheet in TurboTax Desktop, you must edit the source entry that feeds the worksheet, as direct editing is often locked. Navigate to the Net Operating Loss (NOL) deduction section in the deductions/credits area to correct lines 14a and 14b, then file a Form 1040-X to reflect the changes, even if the tax liability remains the same.  Steps to Amend Carryover Values in TurboTax Desktop:   Open your 2024 return in TurboTax Desktop. Click "Amend a Return" to enter amendment mode. Go to the Federal tab, then Deductions & Credits.

Look through the questions to see if you said that LESS than 100% of her income was from this Home Office (on your picture, line 1 even says if ALL of the income was from your home).  That is the most common reason.

Within the IRS form 1099-R entry, were you directed to the screens Annuity information?   If this is the case, at the question, For the years you received these distributions, was the total amount shown in the form the amount you paid tax on?, select Yes.   The box 2a amount will be reported as the Taxable amount.

If you are using the desktop software, you can go in to Forms mode, select the SE Adj Wks and uncheck the box in Part III.    Unchecking that box will remove any farm option entries in Part II of Sch SE.       In TurboTax Online you can change the options in Other Tax Situations >> Business Taxes and Deductions >> SE tax.
