Ditto here. Today is 2 Feb 26 and in the last 11 days I have been notified of and installed 4 updates to TT for Mac desktop software including 1 today. Since the 22 Jan 26 update, the 1099R line has worked. I completed my taxes last week BUT am STILL waiting for the 1099R from my credit union so I can file.

Not actually my wife it’s just easier than explaining it.  second, it doesn’t let me get that far. The ONLY thing I can do in my info is verify my own info I press verify and the screen it immediately takes me to asks me for my income. At no point am I prompted or given a button to add any dependents. I click my info it opens a page that asks me to verify my own info (there is no button on this screen to add a dependent). I tap verify and it takes me to income.

A new, temporary additional deduction of $6,000 for those aged 65 and older (or $12,000 for a married couple if both qualify) is available for tax years 2025 through 2028. The deduction begins to phase out at income greater than $75,000 and $150,000 if you’re married filing jointly. This is in addition to the standard deduction or itemized deductions.    The senior deduction is automatically calculated by TurboTax based on the dates of birth you entered for each spouse.   The senior additional deduction appears on line 37 of Schedule 1-A of your form 1040, with that amount flowing to line 13b of your form 1040.   In TurboTax Online, you can only view Schedule 1-A after registering and paying the TurboTax fee.   But you can preview your form 1040 and check line 13b of your form 1040 which includes the senior deduction among other deductions if applicable, such as the tip deduction, the overtime or the car loan interest deduction.   to preview your form 1040 in TurboTax Online, follow these steps:   Open your return In the left-hand column, locate Tax Tools, click on the drop-down arrow then click on Tools On the Tools Center page, click on View Tax Summary In the left-hand column, click on Preview my 1040 Your form 1040 will display. Scroll down to line 13b   and you should see the amount of this deduction included in this line.

If you reported income on this W-2 from a state that does not tax income, just be sure that boxes 15 through 20 are all completely blank (not filled in with zeros). If that doesn't resolve your issue, please let us know what state is listed in box 15.

I refused to use turbotax this year.  They should not be allowed to advertise FREE when only 37% qualify.  On top of that for the few that do qualify, to actually do so is very hard to actually do with all the unintended upgrades built in to trick you.  I have many years of filing with TurboTax.  This year, 2025, I refuse to give them a dime!
