Taxes are due today, April 15.  If you need more time to pay, you can request an instalment agreement.   If you haven't filed yet: Go to File On the How do you want to pay your federal taxes? screen, select Request an IRS payment plan If you have already filed, you can apply for a payment plan (Form 9465) at the IRS Payment Plans and Installment Agreements website.     

What state?  If you file Form 4868 with the IRS requesting a six-month extension of time to file your federal tax return by October 15, 2025, some state returns will be automatically extended as well.    Select your state from the list in the FAQ below to learn how to file your state extension.   TurboTax FAQ: How do I file an extension for my personal state taxes?

Is Form 8453 part of your return? When you print your return (or create a PDF) TurboTax only generates the forms and schedules that are transmitted to the IRS.  If Form 8453 is part of your return, then your e-filed return has told the IRS that you will be mailing Form 8453 to them.  I doubt there will be a problem if you don't mail it, because you shouldn't have to, but you should be aware.

If that showed the efile was accepted, (or if you mailed a paper return), you can use the "Where's My Refund" tool at the IRS website below to monitor the status of your Federal refund.   https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund   If that IRS tool says it's not finding your information, here are some tips:   If you efiled, be sure you have waited at least 24 hours after acceptance before using the IRS WMR tool.   If you mailed a paper return, it won't show up in the tool for at least 4 weeks or longer. Be sure you enter the correct tax year, SSN, and filing status. Be sure you are using only the Federal refund amount.   Do not include any state refund or any total refund or net refund (Fed and State) that TurboTax may have provided on a summary screen.   Look at your actual Federal return to get the Federal refund amount, i.e., your Form 1040, Line 35a. If the IRS WMR tool is still not finding your information, you can also try phoning the IRS refund hotline, again using the figure from Form 1040, Line 35a. I've seen it work for some users when the WMR tool didn't.  800-829-1954 If still no luck after that, we can tell you how to phone the IRS to inquire.

Please clarify your question by providing some additional information so we may better help you. Such as: What version of TurboTax are you using? Do you have a question? Are you entering a Form 1099 that has no EIN? Was the Form 1099  issued in error? What TurboTax screen are you on?

You can switch between the standard deduction and itemized deductions by following the detained instructions in the TurboTax article  How do I change from the standard deduction to itemized (or vice-versa)?
