Thanks again for the help so far @dmertz! The only place where I see this question is under Deductions & Credits > Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions. I checked Wages & Income > IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) but don't see the question there. Can you please suggest what's the second place I should look for?

I had the same thing happen to me this year. I think what the OP is asking (which is my question as well) is, shouldn’t Turbo Tax catch these things before they happen? If I had used a real tax accountant, would they have caught it? Or in other words, why am I paying turbo tax plus protection if I get slapped with $1k in a penalty a year later? 

The address you used matches the information provided by TurboTax in this link as well as the form instructions from the IRS.   Since you used certified mail, you have proof of the documents being mailed as instructed.   At this point in time, you can refer to this information from the USPS for more guidance on delivery timeframes as well getting tracking status help.

If you are using TurboTax online you will have to purchase the return prior to being able to viewing the worksheets.  Once you have purchased the return you can follow these steps to view:   Choose the FILE section Under the question, "you are asked if you want to 'view/print/save' your return.  Choose Yes Select the option, "PDF of all your forms and worksheets saved to your desktop for review"    

Thank you very much!  Only a minor hiccup with opening download of Desktop version:  I needed a "work-around" Microsoft flagged TurboTax as "unverified" & didn't have app in Microsoft Store.   So happy & relieved that I can access all tax forms!   Unrelatedly, none of my previous years of tax data appear under Tax History.

You would add the 1099-MISC to her income.  The question is -does she need to file. Take this quick quiz, Filing requirement - Do I need to file a tax return? If she doesn't need to file, tuck the MISC into her tax folder. @Lucy22728 

No, independent tutoring expenses are specifically listed as ineligible by the Illinois Department of Revenue.  What education expenses do not qualify for the K-12 education expense credit on the IL-1040?   @ecineko 

Tienes la opción de presentar tu declaración como casado separado, enviarla declaración por correo y no incluir a tu esposa.    También tienes la opción de  presentar tus impuestos como casado en conjunto y aplicar por el ITIN de tu esposa y de tus hijos.  Para presentar tu declaración tendrás que completar el Formulario W-7 del IRS (Servicio de Impuestos Internos), Solicitud de Número de Identificación Personal del Contribuyente del Servicio de Impuestos Internos.     Junto con el Formulario W-7 se necesita enviar documentos que confirmen la identidad de la persona, como pasaporte, matrícula consular, y acta de nacimiento. Para más información lea las Instrucciones para el Formulario W-7. El Formulario W-7, los documentos, y tu declaración de impuestos se tendrán que enviar juntos.  El programa te guiará en cómo imprimir y a donde enviar tus documentos.      

From my understanding The Guideline 401k Plan Administrator have the following rules in this article What happens if I overcontribute to my 401(k) account? There it mentions  "Unlike an overage in a single plan, there is a deadline to both report the outside contribution and request a refund. You must report the outside contribution by March 1 of the following year and the refund must be completed by your tax return due date."  I also call them with my situation and they said that I was passed the deadline.  From my understanding, I think I am past that deadline to request a refund. Or am I missing misunderstanding something? Thank you for your help!
