Thank you for your response.  Adding a zero in box 7 did not change the outcome.  It is not linking to Schedule F - I realized as it currently is entered it's under other common income.  The option for a 1099-G under Farm income does not have an option for box 6.

There is a workaround. Would you be willing to try this workaround for testing purposes? It doesn’t always work, so I would need you to reply and let me know if this works for you.    This workaround, when it works, unblocks and resets the efile status for the tax return which could be achieved.    You need to change the SSN to dummy SSN (like all zeros in ssn) and perform check efile status, then re-enter your real SSN afterward.  The steps are listed below. Steps:   Change SSN to dummy SSN (like all zeros in ssn) in personal info Go to File tab and perform efile status check -> No status will be displayed Changed SSN back to original SSN Go to File tab and perform efile status check -> Will/Should show correct status for the filing Go to file a return section and file amend return, the product will allow to file amend return now.

The extension gives you until October 15, 2025 to file your taxes without getting a failure to file penalty.  You don't get extra time to pay your taxes so you must pay any taxes that you may have that are due by April 15, 2025 so you won't be assessed the failure to pay penalty.   Refer to the TurboTax Help article How do I file an IRS tax extension?.  If you need to file a state extension, review the article How do I file an extension for my personal state taxes?

the deceased date was may2024 and I am trying to decide about calendar year vs fiscal year tax filing for the future...fiscal filing goes from may 2024 -april 2025 ?  does that mean I report dividends paid for this whole  period now on my 2024 tax filing ....and how can I report dividends for the period jan2025-apr 2025 without a 1099-div.....I have court fees from dec 2024 and jan 2025 and I thought if I went for the fiscal year, I could deduct them both....is this a bad idea since the 1099-div are issued at year end...

Too late.  I tried to E file, they took my payment for state filing.  Then when I clicked on file it would not file. I have a MAC and the trouble shoot instructions said close the file and reopen.  My entire tax file is now gone, not saved anywhere even though I had opened it several times before in the last month.

March 5 my state return was accepted. About a week later I received a later stating I had an overpayment from unemployment of $800 and part of my tax return will cover this. The remainder of my return is around $5k-6k. Will I receive this money? When I track my return online it says still pending, on turbo tax it says approved 03/05 and when I call my information does not pull up my state return at all to track so I am now getting nervous

The bank interest is a bit tough since you have to know the rules for that investment and most of them love to charge fees - which takes you back to when paid. Bonds are similar. They can be reported each year as accrued or wait until mature and report it all at once. You get the 1099-INT at the end. See another post of mine for bond information. @Frank nKansas

No, I'm afraid not.  Your payment information was transmitted to the IRS when you filed the return and the IRS has it now.  Whatever payment arrangements you have made with them have already been entered into the IRS system.  You can try to contact the IRS to change your payment arrangements but contacting the IRS at this point can be very difficult.   Here's the contact information for the IRS.   @AJRios73
