I recommend contacting the IRS at this link for assistance.  There is a section at the bottom where you can request assistance.   You can also refer to how do I file an FBAR report (FinCEN114)? for more information on the filing requirements.

Assuming you are referring to using a room in your house for a home office, you can only deduct the area that is strictly used to business purposes from a self-employed job.  You cannot deduct any home office expenses if you are working as an employee.     Please see can I take the home office deduction for more details.

If it says Printed or Ready to Mail that means you have to print it out and mail it to the IRS yourself.  So it has not been filed.  You can try to change it from Mail to Efile https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/e-file/help/how-do-i-change-from-mail-to-e-file-in-turbotax-online/00/26985   Click on Add a State to let you back into your retun.

Thanks for replying What i see is that my refund is at the e-filed side on the progress bar, and when I look at my home page for the taxes my taxes say they are printed. Not accepted, rejected or anything else just printed.  

Can you clarify what form you are referring to?  Was this a $10,000 withdrawal from an IRA that was used to purchase a home?     If so, please see the link at the bottom of "are there exceptions to the early distribution penalty on an IRA" to get to the input for the 1099-R form.   

You will still get the refund from the first original return or still need to pay the first tax due.  In fact you should not even amend until the first return has fully processed and you get the first refund or your tax due payment has cleared.     Then the amended 1040X return is only for the difference you get back or owe.  I think the cover sheet shows what the original return WOULD have been if you did it right the first time.  Ignore the new 1040 that might print out.   Go by the actual 1040X.  Line 18 should be your original refund amount and line 22 should be your additional refund.  If you paid on your original return it will be on line 16.  If there is an amount owed with the amendment, it will be on line 20.   If you have a tax due, do not send the 1040V.  Just include a check with the 1040X.  Ignore the 1040V.  That is for the original return or what the original return would have been if it didn’t need correcting.  Don’t pay the amount on the 1040V.  Pay the amount on the actual 1040X line 20.

Yes you need to enter the carryover loss from 2023, not 2022.   If you didn’t use it in 2023 it would still carryover but as the 2023 loss.  Did you enter it into your 2023 return?  You may need to figure out what the loss would have been for 2023.  You may need to amend your 2023 return.      You have to report the carryover every year until it's used up.  You can't skip a year.  Even if you don't report it on your return you have to reduce it by the 3,000 (1,500 MFS) when you carry it over to next year.  You can't choose when to use it.   If you have a negative AGI or negative taxable income it will show up on 1040  BUT it won't reduce the carryover to the next year.   This is from the IRS Pub 550 page 66 Capital Loss Carryover "When you figure the amount of any capital loss carryover to the next year, you must take the current year's allowable deduction into account, whether or not you claimed it and whether or not you filed a return for the current year. "   Here is pub 550…  http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p550.pdf
