Adding Schedule 1 to my Form 1040

I have a suggestion for future versions of TurboTax.

You need to allow users to access and input data into Schedule 1 - Additional Income and Adjustments to Income WITHOUT necessarily going through the "interview" (Q&A) process.

I have a need to enter an amount into Item "z", Line 24 of Schedule 1, but I can't.

I spoke to a TurboTax Rep about this problem several weeks ago, and was told there is no way to complete Item "z", Line 24 through the interview process, and the software prohibits entering information directly into Schedule 1.

First what you want is in the DOWNLOADED program by doing overrides in the FORMS mode which MAY keep you from efiling and WILL void the accuracy guarantee.

And there has always been a way to enter the Sch 1 line z (same thing on the old form 1040 line 21) thru the interview mode ...

Click on the Federal tab.
Click on Income & expenses.
Scroll down to Less Common Income.
Click on Start or Update button Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
On the next screen (Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income), click the Start or Update button for Other reportable income.
Did you receive any other taxable income. Click Yes.
Other Taxable Income, enter a description and the amount. Click Continue.
Click Done.

The income will be reported on Schedule 1 line 8 (z) with the description that you entered.

Thanks, but I’m trying to add a deduction - not income. How do I add a random deduction?

Sorry ... that is so unusual you cannot do this in the interview mode ... it is one of those things that must be an override in the FORMS mode if you cannot find what you need in the deductions section ...
