Well.......... IF the military member has a state of legal residence (SLR) that is NOT KS, then the civilian spouse can also claim that non-KS SLR  (if living at the same post).   1) Usually you do not indicate you "moved" to KS in the Personal Info section.  As far as the military and KS are concerned, you remained a "resident" of your non-KS  SLR state all year.  So do not indicate you resided in KS during 2024  (the mailing address in KS is okay, it's not used for anything but mailings)   2)  IF....if the military person works an off-duty civilian job, then that work requires a non-resident KS tax return and only that income is subject to KS taxes.   3) IF the Civilian spouse worked in KS, then....if he/she filed the proper paperwork with that employer, then no KS taxes were withheld, and no KS non-resident tax return is required.   But, that income is usually included on the couple's SLR state's tax return, and is usually taxed (but not always).   4) to avoid KS withholding for the Civilian spouse that is working in KS, he/she should fill out the KS withholding form K-4, claiming exemption on line 6 of that form, under MSRRA, and file that with their employer.   _______________________________ Read the help articles at:   What is my state of residence as a military spouse?   Where can I find state information on filing my return as an active duty military member?   What is my military state of residence?    

This really doesn't answer my question. I obviously know they are charging us for the state returns and the option to avoid them is to print the returns and mail them. This is what I'm forced to do now. But the question is, why do they charge us? Does it cost Turbotax to process these returns that they feel they need to pass on to the customer? Or do they just do it to earn extra revenue?

No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/contact-turbotax/L2y9ZKpQB_US_en_US?uid=m5s9l2vh

You will need to amend your Form 1040 after it's processed by the IRS. See the instructions from TurboTax Expert KarenJ.   After you amend your 1040, you'll also need to file your 1040NR. TurboTax doesn't support Form 1040NR. You can use Sprintax to complete your 1040NR.

You will have to contact TurboTax support for assistance with this problem. Use the key words Billing Issue See this TurboTax support FAQ for contacting support - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/turbotax-phone-number/L0Od33nMQ_US_en_US?uid=lfgviwbm

  You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2024 only.   Only a 2024 return can be prepared online and only a 2024 return can be e-filed.   Online preparation and e-filing for 2021, 2022, and  2023 is permanently closed. Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.   To file a return for a prior tax year  If you need to prepare a return for 2021, 2022, or 2023  you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s) https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/ You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.   Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0   When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

Thank you for providing the sample upload.  I matched EXACTLY the column names, however, I only had dates in my CSV.  It was erroring and saying needed column names etc. but the real problem is once I added "12:00" to the date, it loaded fine (so stupid).

HSA contributions made by you and your employer are in box 12 of your W-2 with the code W, make sure you didn't enter that amount again in the HSA section as this will incorrectly double your total contribution amount.

Enter the average value (Fair Market Value) of the rental for tax year 2024.  This may be needed for form 8971 in order to report a value for the inherited property.  If you inherited the property, you would get the stepped-up basis.   

E-filing fee in desktop software Did you purchase desktop software with state software included?  They sell Deluxe both with and without state software--so you have to be careful which one you choose.  And even if it does have the state software download included, that is for preparing the state.  There is an extra $25 fee to e-file the state.  You can avoid the state e-file fee if you print and mail the state instead of e-filing it.

If you received a payment confirmation and your credit card was charged, that amount will still be credited into your account (Your TurboTax will show as paid and the balance should show as "0"). Once you fix the rejection issue, you should be able to resubmit without having to pay again.

The answers above are incorrect.  Your earnings credit comes from Schedule SE line 4c, not line 2.  To achieve at least $1,730 on line 4c your net profit would need to be at least $1,873.   [DianeW777 subsequently made the correction.]
