When will schedule 1-A be available?

[DoninGA]

Schedule 1-A is available in TurboTax

[JamesG1]

IRS Schedule 1-A is generated when the taxpayer reports:

• No tax on tips,
• No tax on overtime,
• No tax on car loan interest, or
• Enhanced deduction for seniors

In TurboTax Online, view the entry by:

1. Selecting Tools down the left side of the screen,
2. Selecting View Tax Summary

Note the entry Additional Deductions (Schedule 1-A).

In TurboTax Desktop, select FORMS in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

Turbotax is also not generating a Schedule 1-A form for me either despite qualifying for everything.

Form 1-A is available. I used it for Tips and it works.  I'm using Windows desktop. Turbotax says its avaialble for all platforms. If it's not working, check your entries. If you have desktop, you can review the Schedule in forms mode. Not sure about online. You may have to pay any fees before you can review or print it.

It's not available in my turbo tax deluxe and it does not show up in the forms.

Go to ONLINE at the top of the page and 'Check for Updates'.   

If your program is updated, step through the interview sections for Schedule 1-A deductions (W-2 entry for no tax on tips/ OT, Vehicle Loan Interest Deduction) to create the form in your return.

In FORMS, choose 'Open Form' and type in '1-A' to view the form.

I'm having the same issue as the original poster.   I'm using the desktop software and checked for updates - "my software is up to date".   Schedule 1-A captured my overtime, but not my tips.  The software won't let me type in a number manually into the form.  Any hints?

[DoninGA]

@slepore8 Did you have tips reported on your W-2 in box 7?  If so, the calculation is done by the software in Part II of the Schedule 1-A.

If you did not report tips to your employer you should have checked the box Tips not reported on my W-2

[slepore8]

Box 7 is blank.  My tips were included in box 1 so were already taxed for social security taxes.  My employer noted my tips in box 14 which I understand is just a general memo field and does not feed into schedule 1-A.   Should I still check that box "tips not reported"?  They were reported - in box 1.

According to TurboTax's tax form availability matrix (https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product...), this form should be available for e-file in the desktop windows software, however, I have the software with the latest updates, and it shows that the form is not finalized and cannot be submitted.  Unfortunately, it doesn't have a date.  TurboTax, can you fix your matrix please!

@richlux The Schedule 1-A has been available in TurboTax for two months or longer.  You need to make sure you have the latest software update.  Click on Online at the top of the desktop program screen.  Click on Check for Updates.

If you show as being updated and still have this issue, then use a manual update if you are using a Windows based computer.  See this for a manual update - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/update-products/manually-update-turbotax...

Or, save the tax return, close the TurboTax program.  Close and re-start your computer.

@DoninGA Thank you so much!  I had rebooted my computer and did the check for updates multiple times, but that didn't fix it. Downloading the manual update finally fixed it.  I'm having a similar issue with TurboTax Business, where the availability matrix says the forms are available, but the software says they aren't. It says that the 1065 Partnership Form p1-4 and p5-6 along with Schedule B-1 and Schedule K-1 are not available yet.  Is there a manual update for the Business version?  The one that fixed the Deluxe version did not fix this.

Actually, I found it: https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/update-products/manually-update-turbotax... and it fixed that problem also.

This is a little concerning. I'm worried that I won't get future updates since the "Check For Updates" feature kept telling me that there were no updates even though there clearly were :(

Thanks again,

Rich
