Please review your marital status under My Info. After checking "Plan to file separately or as Head of Household", the next page should ask for more info on your spouse. This is the page where you check the box for "I didn't live with XXXX at any time between July 1, and December 31," which checks Box 6b on Form 1040.     If you don't see this page, change your filing status back to Married Filing Jointly and complete the interview for this topic until all questions have been answered. Log out of TurboTax then log back in.    Return to My Info and edit your section to change your filing status to MFS. The questions about your spouse should appear, allowing you to confirm your entry. You will need to review other sections of My Info that you may have changed before.   If this doesn't resolve the Box 6b issue, you will probably need to file by mail.

If, after reviewing the Depreciation and Amortization reports for prior years, you determine that the total depreciation is correct, follow the instructions posted by Expert DianeW777:   If the prior accumulated depreciation is correct, then you should leave the lower amount calculated for 2025. Continue to keep all of your prior depreciation records so that you are prepared when and if you should sell this building. However, if your calculations show that the accumulated depreciation is incorrect, you may need to edit that information on the Asset Entry Worksheet using Forms Mode. The total Prior Depreciation is shown on Line 10 and AMT Depreciation is on Line 12. Note that these lines have blue or green fonts in a yellow box. Those are the only numbers that can be changed. Numbers in black are calculated and can only be overridden, which invalidates the return for e-filing.  

Ensure that the requested payment date for electronically paying a return liability is within the acceptable date range, which is typically no more than five days prior to the date you e-file the return. If you filed after the original due date, make sure the requested electronic payment date is the same day you e-file the return. If the issue persists, consider contacting TurboTax customer service for assistance

if you used desktop though responding in online for Windows 11, go to the c:\Users\User-Name\Documents\turboTax folder. you should find a file starting with a tilde (~) and ending with .tax2025. that's a backup of the last saved file. You can open it directly by double clicking on it, but you'll have to make sure it's the same as the return you filed. 

@NCperson Yes.  If you had a gain greater then the exclusion amounts then you would have to report the sale. Also, if you received a Form 1099-S for the sale either with a gain or a loss, the sale has to be reported.

What does the IRS website for the status of the federal tax refund indicate - https://www.irs.gov/refunds   Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.    After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
