Thank you for this clear information   Account number 000-99999 only use portion after the - 99999 SS Number with dashes 000-00-0000 include the dashs   3 Captcha sheets    Import Success   Next Fund, Ooops there is a problem.    It seems Franklin wants a significant amount of time between attempts to import.   It would have been much quicker and easier to type in the information than try to import.   The problem is I went paperless, and trying to find the documents on Franklin's website is equally frustrating.  

No one here can track them for you, but we can tell you how to do it.   First, you need to be sure your efiled state return was successfully filed.   Since you efiled, be sure your efiled state return was accepted.  If you used Online TurboTax, you can check by looking at the Tax Home in your Online account.  Then here's how to get to your state's refund lookup tool.   FAQ:  How do I track my Oklahoma state tax refund? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-oklahoma-tax-refund/L7sV4AYwi_US_en_US

The taxpayer enters the RMD portion of the 1099-R, which can not exceed line 1. Each spouse must take their own RMD. One spouse cannot take less and the other more, so that the total for the two taxpayers equals the separate amounts required.  If the RMD for one spouse was $80k but took $50K from one of their IRAs  (on line 1) and made a $20K QCD, the RMD would still be $50K on that 1099-R. They would have to take $30K from another of their IRAs to meet their RMD requirement.  On the second 1099-R, they would indicate an RMD no more than what's on line 1.  If $80K was indicated as the RMD on the first 1099-R, TurboTax would think there was a deficiency of $30K  and produce a 5329 (even if the $30K was indicated as the RMD on their second 1099-R). 

@ aldanams  Here's a fast way to get to the entry of a 1099-MISC for the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend.   With your return open, go to the left column menu and click on TAX TOOLS, then TOOLS. In the Tools window click the blue button TOPIC SEARCH. In the search line enter the phrase Alaska fund without quotes. Choose the selection in the results (it may be highlighted already), and either double-click it or click GO. The next screen may ask: "Did you get a 1099-MISC?"   {NOTE:  If you had already been in that 1099-MISC area before, you may get a 1099-MISC Summary screen, in which case click a button to add another 1099-MISC.]   After you enter the boxes from your 1099-MISC, you will get a screen "Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC."    Just enter "Alaska permanent fund dividend". On the next screen, it will ask: "Do any of these uncommon situations apply?"   Again choose  "This was an Alaska Permanent Fund dividend distribution." Continue until you finish that section, and you will probably arrive at a "1099-MISC Summary".  Scroll down to a DONE button. After clicking DONE, you should be back at the summary "Your income and expenses."

The 481(a) adjustment should be on the rental property Schedule E, line 19, for this property. Since it is Illinois property, the Schedule E results for this property should be in column B of the NR.  You have a reduced basis for the property, so the gain is increased for Federal and Illinois. This is actually a wash for Illinois. lower profit or higher loss on Scheduke E, which offsets the higher capital gain that flows from the Federal and needs to be in column B of the NR.
