The connection to AR state return is broken as of 3/2/2026. When I click fix return, it just puts me in a loop about TP first name and says "state calculations have not been fully updated yet to reflect these changes." 

Sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:   Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu. Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website. Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms. Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit." Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.   Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.

The City of Portland's own portal for collecting the Arts tax was down over the weekend, Feb 28-Mar1, for maintenance. But it's back up this morning, Mar 2, yet TurboTax attempts to eFile this form are still met with:   Your Transmission Didn't Go Through TurboTax was unable to send your return to the Intuit Electronic Filing Center, for the following reason: Transmission failed: Tax Year 2025 transmissions are not available.). TurboTax is not ready to process Tax Year 2025 for this return. Looks like we've had a technical hiccup. Try e-filing again. If that doesn't work, you can print your return and file by mail   Getting really tired of all of the glitches, bugs, and awful support in this year's TurboTax. Been using it for eons, and this is by far the worst it's ever been.

Can you clarify your question? Did you check the IRS Where's My Refund website? Are you asking why you haven't received the refund? Please give any additional details? Did you get any kind of message? What additional information do you have?  

Do not click on anything that says "amend" if the return has not ever been filed.   You can still make changes to the return; you might need to click on Add a State to get you back in to make changes.  You do not really have to add a state return, but that trick will let you back in to the return to make the changes you need to make.
