FYI - If you have the Desktop program you can check right inside your return.    For the Desktop program you have to check the filing status inside the program. Open your return and go up to menu item File > Electronic Filing > Check Electronic Filing Status   Then save your return with the status. Go to File-Save. When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.

I completed and filed my 2024 return using the E-File option in TurboTax Premier on 3/15/25.  From that action I got a "E-File Pin".    Since I have not received my refund, I checked on the IRS website and the response was that the information entered "did not match their records".  So, my question is "have you gotten any other questions about the E-File option not working as expected?"        I think that checking with you is faster that having to go the the IRS.      Thank you!

Are you sure you filed previously? If you had already filed, your return (the second one you just filed) would have been rejected. You can't file 2 returns using the same social security number.    

TurboTax transfers data from your federal return to your state return. Before you begin troubleshooting your state return, go back through your federal return and enter your real estate taxes there.  After you review your federal return, select the State Taxes tab and review the state section. Pay close attention to the information, especially if you have made changes to your federal return. There might be new sections that need to be completed.  Where do I enter my real estate (property) taxes in TurboTax?   Troubleshooting common federal to state transfer issues

Then sometime later you get another email telling you that your tax return was accepted (or rejected). Did you get either of those emails? Is the confirmation code for paying your TurboTax fees? Paying the fees does not file your tax return. You have to continue through the e-filing screens until you get to the screen with a big orange button that says "Transmit my returns now," and click that button. Did you do that?  

No, they are not funds for healthcare insurance, it is funds coming from a union that covers healthcare workers. It does not appear as though it has anything to do with the government. This is for healthcare workers, not federal employees.  The 1199SEIU Funds began with the Local 1199 Benefit Plan. Formed in 1945, its goal was to provide basic health, disability and life insurance benefits to just 300 New York City retail drugstore workers with employer-paid contributions. In 1948, the Benefit Fund became self-insured and self-administered. Since then, the Fund has continued to grow, providing the infrastructure to support additional benefit funds that provide coverage for healthcare workers throughout the industry in hospitals, nursing homes and home care agencies.

Then which "distribution" do I choose? The App asked 401k, IRA etc. Can I choose "none"? Thanks.  What do you get from the gov?  Do you get Social Security or SS Disability or ssi or a SSA-1099 form?   For SS or a SSA-1099,  If it's asking for an EIN number you are entering it in the wrong place. There is no EIN on social security SSA-1099. Delete it and enter it here, Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099 under Federal tab (Personal for Home&Business) Wages and Income Then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security Then the second line - Social Security (SSA-1099. RRB-1099) - click the Start or Revisit button

Thanks. I was doing this until I noticed on Desktop it had a 8995A and my actual return had an 8995 so that’s confusing me now. My original return has a simplified version and the Desktop version has the smart version under schedule C and I can’t figure out how to translate from the original.
