You enter auto repair expenses as Vehicle expenses when entering income and expenses for your business (Schedule C).   Please note that you can only deduct auto repair expenses when you opt for the actual expense method, and not when using using the standard mileage method.    And you can only deduct the business portion of your vehicle expenses.   Please read this TurboTax article on Business Use of Vehicles  for more information.

I suggest you run Federal Review  Located under Federal on the left sidebar. This will review what you've posted so far, and identify problem areas. You can enter corrections directly from fere.

The Casualty and Theft Worksheet only has one page. If you are looking for Page 2 of Form 4684, for Section B of the form for Business or Income-Producing Property, you would need to indicate that  type of loss in the Interview section of TurboTax, and enter the pertinent information.  

Do you mean you received another W-2 or 1099 after you filed or did you try to do one document at a time?   Click here for instructions on how to Amend Your Return.     If you did just one document at a time, be aware that ALL income from ALL sources should be reported on one return.  After you enter one document (ex. 1099, W-2, etc) all you need to do is click Add a (name of document) and you will be able to include them all on one return.  

Yes, you can leave that blank and continue through the program.  The program may show the missing number as an error, but should allow you to E-file.   You also have the option to elect to file a joint return. If that is your choice, TurboTax can help you with that filing as well.    HERE are the options for filing when married to a non-resident spouse.    

Please clarify your question.   What document are you posting? Are you trying to Import the information? Do you have a copy so you can post it manually? Please contact us again to provide some additional details.       

Yes, you should claim the state tax refund as income on your 2024 tax year return. Yes, the questions the program asks is in regard to how you filed your 1040 for tax year 2023. Since you filed Form 1040NR, those questions are not relevant.  This IRS link reports that a refund of state tax that would have increased the previous year tax liability is reported as income for the year received. This is the case for your situation.         

It is fine to enter the karaoke videos the way you have been doing that.     Watching the refund meter as you enter information is not necessarily a good idea if it leads to trying to change the way you are entering an expense just to make the meter move again.  There are other things in the background that are keeping that number from changing as you enter more expenses.  You would need to look at your overall return to see why the refund meter is not changing with additional expenses.
