Why does turbotax ask for my husband's pin number when I try to file for a tax extension?  I am married, filing separately.  We do not live together and I am head of household.  So the tax extension filing won't go through because it's asking to create a pin for my husband.  Why can't I just create my pin and that's it???

I sold securities to use for a car down payment. Because I had to wait until settlement I took 2 small distributions from 2 retirement accounts. When the trades settled, I asked for the money to be returned to each account. 1) I noticed the money went back into one account but not the other - I will call to find out why, 2) Although there are 2 1099-Rs, I don't see how I indicated that the money was paid back. They used code 7 in box 7 which is normal distribution. How do I indicate that the funds went back so I don't get taxed on the distribs?

I am working outside Philadelphia but registered home address is in Philadelphia. I did my Taxes through FreeTaxUSA who said I might need to file my taxes with the city separately since they don't do that. When I went to sign up for an account on the Philly Tax Center I wasn't sure what kind of tax I was supposed to sign up to pay. Which ones do I select? The school income tax? Earnings Tax? I accidentally deactivated my account as well and cannot sign up for a new one. Does anyone know how to reactivate it?

My wife has always been under my health insurance plan with no lapse at any time. But the TurboTax keep asking about "What type of High Deductible Health Plan did [My wife name] have on December 2023? If I answer Family, then I get the lapse question on the next page " Did [my wife name]'s High Deductible Health Plan Coverage lapse in 2024 due to disability? I redone this section many times but keep getting the same lapse question.  My question is what should I answer to the initial question (in the following screenshot) on HSA? My wife is under my plan, but doesn't have her own HSA account. I believe I should answer None for my wife. But If I answer None I keep ending up in the lapse question for her. But If I select HSA for her in the following page, it seem to work, but this answer doesn't seem to be correct as she never have an HSA account of her own! Can someone please help?    

Preparing the 2024 return it seems I owe $ to federal tax while I will get $ refund from state tax. I was thinking if I could receive the refund and use it to pay the federal tax.   Question- If I file my federal and state returns by April15, can I delay paying $ to federal by, 2-3months? Doing so, will I be charged interest or late-fee penalty?

I have applied ITIN for my child along with Federal TAX return filing in 2023. The ITIN got rejected with the reason that I haven't claimed child tax credit. This happened as the checkbox "Credit for other dependents" was not selected in 1040. I was asked by the IRS to send the documents via mail for ITIN and I received ITIN for my child. But, the child tax credit $500 was not refunded in 2023. I'm planning to AMEND 2023 returns to get the child tax credit. Can someone guide through the process?

I'm being charged $150 on my credit card, and this should had cost me $59 for state return. I should not have been charged $79 for the basic. this is ridiculous! and there was no way to undo what they have done! The instructions that was given to use to get the payment canceled didn't go along with the information on the forms that were given. I did not have a Federal refund, only state refund. by the time I realized what was done, it was to late on my side.
