Well it's kinda complicated due to every situation being different, there is a timeframe they have to do the audit but it is sometimes a long process. They audit your taxes not your check so they will probably want more verification that what you told them is true. It could also be if you made any mistakes unintentional. They will contact you sending more info regarding that. Likely you will not see your check until after the audit has been completed and then it will still take a little time to get it possibly you will get a check for interest because I did.
How do I import my files from Itsdeductible into Turbotax premium?

@UncleSamPayer   In June 2025 I upgraded my Notebook from Windows 10 to Windows 11.   It went well.   All my Turbo Tax programs back to 2019 were still there and run fine.  I didn’t need to reinstall them.   It didn’t ask or tell me I needed to use Cloud or OneDrive or sign into anything online.   I’ve never set up a Microsoft account.   
Hi @mesquitebean  That's correct, it is a "Do Not File/Form Not Final" watermark.   This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the detailed answer and for your time.

Files on your machine get synced, or uploaded, to the cloud via OneDrive and you can turn off OneDrive or even uninstall it.    I have Windows 11 on 3 machines and none of them have uploaded files (e.g., Word docs, Excel spreadsheets, et al) to the cloud.

As an update I called and also asked this question.  Interestingly the support person admitted she did not use turbotax or Its Deductible to do her own taxes.  I told her if she actually used it for tracking donations she would be joining all of us complaining.  I told her that if Intuit went forward this time, I like others will be switching to a competing product which is cheaper than turbotax.  She was also very nice and stepped me through how to cancel my automatic renewal and download.  So much for them caring about their customers.   I also passed this issue on to a local TV News station "trouble shooter".  Perhaps if this makes it onto the evening news more people will decide to take their business elsewhere.

When did you file?   Turbo Tax Online is only good for 2024 returns since last November 2024.   Did you fill out your 2023 return in the 2024 Online version?  Was your “2023 return”  Accepted?  Didn’t it ask you for the 2023 AGI to efile?   If you filed 2023 using the 2024 online program and forms and the IRS accepted it you will need to amend the “2024” wrong return that was suppose to be 2023 and change it around to be actually for 2024.  Hope that’s clear.   Then you still need to file a 2023 return. it's too,late to start a 2023 or prior online return or use the mobile app, either on Turbo Tax or the IRS. And too late to efile 2023. To do a prior year return you have to buy the Desktop program here, https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.   If you have a simple return and want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand.  Here are some basic forms..... Here is the 2023 1040 return https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040--2023.pdf or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors, https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s--2023.pdf 2023 1040 Instructions https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040gi--2023.pdf 2023 EIC and Tax Tables https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040tt--2023.pdf Schedules 1-3 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s1--2023.pdf https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s2--2023.pdf https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s3--2023.pdf Don’t forget your state. And you will have to print and mail your returns.  So be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

Why doesn't TurboTax include my federal return after my state return when I ask it to SAVE my return as a PDF file? Up to 2023 tax year, it would, but for the 2024 tax year, it's not!   Specifically, up to 2023, it would include my federal return (1), then my state return (2), then a second copy of my federal return (3).   Now for 2024, it excludes (3).   Thank you.

This might be good news for some, but for me, the whole reason I don't want Windows 11 on my machine is that I don't want my information on the cloud.  I have the option to  "Enroll in Extended Security Updates..." but they will force you to make a Microsoft account.  It is still unresolved whether TurboTax will work on Windows 10 even with Extended updates.

Form 2210 is only generated if one of the exceptions in Part II applies, when filing if you go thru Other Tax Situations > Underpayment Penalty that's where that happens otherwise you would file with the penalty on Line 38 of Form 1040 and no Form 2210 is filed.  IRS recalculates it independently based on information in their system - differences in prior year AGI or Estimated Tax payments for example could then trigger a different penalty result.   For line 8 follow the instructions for Form 2210 or provide more details here if still stuck and someone may be able to help further.  But for most people it's 100% of their 2024 tax liability (generally line 22 on Form 1040 for most people, but follow instructions if you had stuff on Schedule 2 or refundable tax credits), or 110% of that amount if your 2024 AGI was > 150k or 75k if married filing separately.   If you are using TT desktop you can go back to your return and in Forms mode double click on Line 38 then again in the 1040 worksheet and it will show Form 2210 generated by Turbo that did not need to be filed.  But that may not have the correct info if IRS determined you owe a different penalty amount.   You can also check your transcript and payment details under your account at irs.gov to see why there may have been a difference in the calculations.

If your extension payment did not automatically show up on your 1040 or state return you need to enter it.  So make sure it's not already there before you enter it!  Federal Extension payments should be on scheduled 3 line 10.

How very disappointing to hear about Its Deductible being no longer available. I would hope that a company focused on customer satisfaction that has grown because it has the niche of Its Deductiblet to make filing taxes much  more organized and efficient, will re visit the decision to discontinue it or provide a viable alternative. This happening before the end of the year creates a hardship on those of us who have extremely busy schedules and have valued the ability to use this tool for so many years. Whoever is in charge and leading this decision, please reconsider. The sadder part is that no explanation of why it is being discontinued is offered.
