This is probably not a Turbotax glitch, but a matter of timing delays between the IRS and state revenue departments. The IRS, who has been vastly underfunded for many years, has been struggling with all sorts of backlogs in their operations, especially during the COVID years. For this reason, states suffer downstream effects from IRS delays, which makes it difficult for those states to get timely information to Turbotax before the Turbotax products become available to the masses, ergo the need for downloads after first installing Turbotax.
RECOVERY REBATE CREDIT ISSUE
You have mentioned a missing form. In my case, my Oregon return, which I finished and submitted yesterday, was rejected because of a delay in the software being able to handle the Recovery Rebate Credit (aka Stimulus Payments) correctly. The rejection was accompanied by an explanation that the software would be corrected by today, February 17, and to my delight, it was. I merely had to download the "correction" and the appropriate calculations were (I think) applied, and I refiled (without incurring another charge from Intuit.) I have yet to get the acceptance notice, but these are systems problems, not attributable to lazy or inept public sector employees.
I did find that the information on my IRS stimulus payments account information page was a bit confusing. However, the information on Letter 6475 (which I hope most people keep) was much more understandable and allowed me to be able to confidently claim that my wife and I had received half of what we were entitled to. Therefore, that half would be applied as a credit to our 2021 tax liability, thereby giving us a refund.
I hope that this information may helpful to other Oregonians yet to file. Good fortune to you all ...
