I arranged for a direct withdrawal from my bank for payment of my taxes and authorized the money to be released on 4/14/2025. My return is reported, by way of USPS tracking, as delayed. My bank does not show the money released on 4/14/2025. When should I expect the money to be release as payment on my taxes and will there be charges as it is now after the 4/15/2025. Also, I recommend that these contingencies be added to your Tax program in future renditions or at least more conveniently accessible.

There's not an indication on Form 1099-R that your distribution was a QCD. After you enter your 1099-R, TurboTax will ask you follow-up questions. You will select that your distribution was a Qualified Charitable Distribution.
The full amount of the distribution reported on your Form 1099-R will be on line 4a (IRA Distributions) of your Form 1040 or 1040-SR. The taxable amount reported on Line 4b will be the total distribution less the QCD amount and will have "QCD" entered next to it.
Refer to the TurboTax Help article What is a Qualified Charitable Distribution? for more information.
If you didn't answer the follow-up questions indicating that your distribution was a QCD, that may be why you received the CP2000 notice. You will need to follow the directions on your notice to let the IRS know that you had a QCD.
Refer to the TurboTax article I got a CP2000 notice from the IRS for more information.

@Vanessa A Thank you for responding to me! I had it that way originally, but when I saw that the IRS made the checks payable to the business and used the business EIN on the 1099-INT, that made me think I needed to use their Schedule C to report the interest and then also, I deducted the fee paid to the specialist company that prepared the 941X. but I guess not... I just eat that cost and cannot reduce the taxable interest income by what I paid them for their work? . Yes, the businesses are closed and no returns have been filed after the second year closed - misc expenses and payments that happened in January (cash basis) - two of the LLCs have not been closed, but the third one, yes. Thanks again.

Yes, I am - where it says "Tell Us About Your Schedules K-1." This has sections where TurboTax asks about car/assets/gifts/miscellaneous/transportation/meals/entertainment/travel/education/publication. Since my spreadsheet has this info, and our tax guy gave us a K-1, I am just ignoring these sections moving forward. I am not entering anything in the Self Employment section.

When a large portion of your income was at the end of the year you can get a break on the estimated tax penalty by using the annualized income method to calculate the penalty. It takes into account that the income occurred at the end of the year, so you were not required to make estimated tax payments earlier in the year. When you go through the "Underpayment penalties" topic in TurboTax it will ask you if you want to use the annualized income method.

Line 4b of my 2022 Form 1040-SR shows QCD and correctly calculates the Taxable Amount.

Are you talking about the 1040-X? TurboTax will only include that in your amended MA return. And you will probably have to print and mail that.

Hmmm, I disagree somewhat. As long as the value of box 1a didn't change......and box 1b is still equal-to or lower than the box 1a value. Then the increase in your box 1b value could lower your tax liability....because the 1b value just allows some of the dividends to be taxed at lower tax rates. But whether it has any effect at all will depend on all your income for the year. The only way to tell if it might result in a bit of a refund would be to prepare an amended tax return to see what happens. Don't amend until the original tax file ahs been processed, and any refund issued...or payment for taxes due has been paid on the original file. That original file cannot be stopped.....so the original refund, or payment due, needs to be completed.

Your deductions are based on your income. Changing your income changes your deductions.
Yes, you can skip taking a deduction like this.

Correct. If you never filed, you would not amend, just file. Because you need to carry it over each year. You cannot skip a year. So it has to be applied consecutively.

The IRS’s position would be for you to make an estimated payments in the quarter that you had unexpected income to cover your anticipated tax liability.

The 1040X overrides the 1040. They will add any extra documents you send with the 1040x to the 1040.

What is the rest of it? Does the 1040 have the full amount on the IRA 4a line and does it say QCD by 4b. and only the taxable amount listed? Or did it show up on the wrong line?

Thanks @Vanessa A. That helps. My situation is that I have had losses in these nonresident states for years and never filed since I thought that I could keep track of the losses on my own until I had a gain. Given that, it sounds like I should file (not amend since I never filed) for these past years in the non resident states. Correct? In your example, why would you use $3000 on the 2021 return if you had no gains? Why wouldn't you just add the current year passive losses to the carryover losses? In my situation, I have losses in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 where I never filed and now have a gain in 2024 since they sold the property. I'm not looking for a refund in past years but rather to carryforward the losses and use them this year (and future years).

If you need to submit a copy of the 1099-R and the charitable donation receipt then send them to the address on the letter.

Will the IRS get confused when they see two returns e-filed that have all the forms? I think the only way I can file just the 1040X and the 8962 is by mail.

For 2024 I had a large capital gain in January. Then at the end of the year I bought a home and generated quite a bit of income through the sale of stocks, funds and CDs. So then I had all this income at the end of the year. I did make a quarterly tax payment in Q1 but none in Q2-Q4. And I got dinged for for an estimated tax penalty in TT for $3,000. So question is does the IRS give you a break if your income is sporadic during the year like my example above? The home purchase was not known until December and the income I needed to purchase it.
