What are you trying to enter?  A 1099?   What kind?   Are you trying to import it?   Chase Bank is listed on the Import Partner list https://www.intuit.com/partners/fdp/implementation-support/tax-import/program-overview/partner-list/   Or click on skip import and enter it manually.       

Getting a check in the mail is no different from getting anything else in the mail. There is no fixed amount of time that it takes for mail to be delivered to you. It depends on where it was mailed from, where you live, and how slow the Postal Service is.  

Desktop Deluxe will work.   All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.  You don’t need Home & Business for your S Corp income.   You should have a K-1 and/or a W2 from the corp return.   You don’t need Schedule C for that.   

Processing of a federal tax return by the IRS normally takes about 3 weeks if there are no problems with the tax return and no unusual situations, but your particular tax return might not be processed in the normal amount of time.  

Did the IRS say they mailed it?   Did you select to get a check instead of Direct Deposit?   Or is Turbo Tax saying Ready to Mail?   If Turbo Tax says Ready to Mail it means your tax return wasn’t filed and YOU have to print and mail it to the IRS.   

We are in the same situation, so my wife  selected 'Married Filing Jointly' and submitted her W-4. Is it normal that no federal tax is being withheld from her paycheck? I look forward to hearing from you.  Thank you.

@Propeller2127 , you need to contact your financial institutions ( those that sent you the 1042-S) and update them on your being no longer  NRA but a resident ( for tax purposes ?). If you look at the 1042-S form at IRS -- >  2025 Form 1042-S    you will see the income codes and the explanatory codes  called out. Per the above  (a)  income code 6 ( in Box 1 of 1042-S) is dividend issued by US corps.. Thus these incomes need to be entered as  dividend income -- form 1099-Div . You can use dummy forms  to enter this data .Essentially this  lines up with your post. (b)  income code 29 ( in Box 1 of 1042-S) is  deposit interest  ( probably from a financial institutions like a bank or monies held for investment at a broker ).  You need to enter these amounts as interest earned. The non-withholding probably means the amounts were of a minimal nature ( under $10 ? ).  This does not  line up with your post.  You do not have to use  dummy 1099-INT -- TurboTax allows you to enter interest income  with just name of issuer and the amount.   Is there more I can do for you ?   pk

I assume you entered her?   There are a couple questions you could have answered wrong under My Info.  Click on My Info then click Edit by Dependents, then click Edit by their name and go though all the screens again.   First of all check their date of birth.  Also you need to enter a ssn for them.  And say her ssn is valid for employment.   If your child was away at college, count the number of months away as having lived with you.  The correct answer to claim the person is to say "the whole year". This will indicate you supported the person the whole year, thus it will be entered on your return correctly showing up as a dependent.   Or the one that says did your CHILD pay more than half of their support.  It's not asking if you did.   If you can't get it to change then try completely deleting them and re-entering them.  Sometimes that helps to clear something out.   Or check and make sure you didn't accidentally check the box that says you (or your spouse) can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return.  You can't claim any dependents if you (or your spouse) is a dependent.

You don’t have to enter the 1098.  Just enter the right amounts in the right places.   If you took the Standard Deduction the 1098 wouldn’t show up on your return at all.   It’s not like income that the IRS matches to your W2 or 1099 forms.   And anyway you are not claiming more on SCH A.   They don’t care about you claiming less deductions.
