How to check the check box on 1040 that asks "check here if your main home, and your spouse if filing joint return was in the US for more than half of 2025?"

how to select check-box for "main home in US for more than half of 2025?"

At the beginning of the Earned Income Credit (EIC) section of the interview, TurboTax will ask if you lived in the U.S. for more than half of 2025. If you answer Yes it will check the box on Form 1040. That checkbox doesn't affect anything except the EIC. If you are not eligible for the EIC it doesn't matter whether the box is checked or not.

Recent updates to the TurboTax software added a question about your main home during the Federal Review process. 

In TurboTax Online, open your return and choose "Federal Review" from the left menu. Continue through the interview until you see a page "Let's take a second look at your info." The box you need is at the bottom of that page.
