Does the investment report an EIN or taxpayer identification number? You may have to identify the investment as a foreign partnership.

OK, I am confused about something. I e-filed my original return yesterday in TurboTax and it was accepted by the IRS. I noticed today that I forgot to include a 1099-INT for the interest on Series I savings bonds. First of all, no additional state tax is due because it is a savings bond. Even though TurboTax gave me the option to send an amended state return in (for Virginia) I did not do that. That is the state question. So, for the federal question. A "Step 1, Step2, Step3" screen came up in TT and Step 2 said this: Step 2: Print and mail your amended returns (Returns other than VA, must be mailed). I continued on and it allowed me to e-file the Federal Amended Return where I confirmed my original banking account information to pay the additional tax owed from the 1099-INT that was missed. Then it tried to get me to e-file the Virginia state return again even though there was no change. I unchecked the option to file the VA state return. What gives. This step 2 seemed to indicate and cannot e-file the federal amendment, but it allowed me to continue on and transmit it.

Have you reviewed your capital gains tax worksheet to see how any capital gains or qualified dividends are being calculated?

Legal settlements that are taxable (including previously deducted medical expenses related to physical injury or illness) are entered as miscellaneous (other) income. Interest earned on settlements is taxable income and should be entered as a Form 1099-INT. If you received a 1099-MISC: Open or continue your return. Navigate to the 1099-MISC section: TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to 1099-MISC. TurboTax Desktop: Search for 1099-misc and select the Jump to link. If you're asked Did you get a 1099-MISC?, answer Yes. If you've already entered a 1099-MISC, select Add another 1099-MISC. Enter the info from your 1099-MISC and select Continue. On the Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC screen, enter lawsuit settlement and select Continue. On the Does one of these uncommon situations apply? screen, select This was money from a lawsuit settlement and then answer the back wages question before selecting Continue.

Hi James, I'm using TurboTax Online Premium (via Fidelity offer). Here is what I did. I imported the PDF version of one 1099-B (after the import from Fidelity didn't work right). There are about 291 entries. I reviewed the first 200 entries. I moved to the group containing the remaining 91. I see at the top of that page that it thinks there are 91 left to review. However, the table that should be showing the 91 entries is empty and says: You currently don't have any sales on this page After the import I checked to see that all entries were available before reviewing. They were. It seems that reviewing transaction range 1 - 200 breaks transaction range 201 - 291. I did some experiments after importing the PDF again. It seems that reviewing an item on the last page of transaction range 1-200 breaks range 201-291. I'm unable to finish reviewing that 1099-B and expect to have the same problem with another 1099-B that has a total of 789 transactions. Thank you for responding! I haven't tried to print or view my taxes because I haven't finished reviewing the items in the income section. Therefore, I haven't finished the rest of the Federal and State returns.

You're one of the odd ones. As @Vanessa A says above you have to do it out of order because of the California/Oregon thing. It's the way to avoid that double-taxation.

Here are several troubleshooting steps that you can try:
Make sure your Windows Software is up to date.
If you are using a downloaded version, uninstall and reinstall the program from your MyDownloads folder. How do I find my TurboTax for Windows software download?
If that doesn't help, try a manual update. What is a manual update?
Turning off your VPN and anti-virus software during the update can help as well.

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
https://www.irs.gov/refunds
To track your state refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing

Waiting for your child's amended return to be processed does not help you. It takes months for an amended return to be processed. You cannot e-file, so mail your returns when you are ready to put them in envelopes.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
