Originally she filed her taxes on accident as married filing separately then we waited for it to get accepted and then got it amended to be filing jointly now the system is broken and won’t let me file as head of household jointly. 

Yes.   If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.    You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed. You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return. Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected. You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment Select your product below and follow the instructions.  Amend TurboTax Online  Amend TurboTax CD/Download 

It depends. The amount of the loan and the going interest rate along with your relationship and proof you are not just trying to avoid taxes all play into the answer. See this TurboTax blog about Imputed Interest.

You should be able to type in 238190 if that was the business code you used last year. The code is not all that important, but I would use the same code year after year unless your business service changes.    The code is useful to determine the types of expenses that would be related to that type of work.    @Drake1960 

Funds are usually withdrawn on the payment date you specify in TurboTax, assuming your e-filed return has already been accepted (received) by the IRS.   If that date falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the funds are typically withdrawn the next business day.   If you file right before (or on) the April 15, 2025, deadline, the IRS may not be able to debit your payment until after the deadline due to high e-filing volume. Also, it can take your bank another few days to post the debit to your account. As long as you file your return or extension on or before April 15, 2025, and you select April 15, 2025, or earlier as your payment date, you won't get penalized for late payment.   If you don't see the debit in your bank account 7–10 days after your return has been accepted, call IRS e-file Payment Services at 888-353-4537 or contact your state tax agency.      When will my tax payment go through?
