You can request them but the experts are seasonal employees so they might not be working for TurboTax this year.  And with only days to the filing deadline.....you might not get them even if they are working for TT.

It seems that part of your Traditional IRA contribution is nondeductible and you have a basis in the Traditional IRA.  You should have Form 8606 included in your return.   Your Traditional IRA deduction may be limited if you or your spouse is covered by a retirement plan at work and your income exceeds certain levels. Please see IRA deduction limits for details.

Thank you for this link: https://apps.irs.gov/app/fatcaFfiList/flu.jsf  For ICICI Bank India, when this GIIN value LDLP3A.99999.SL.356 (obtained from above link) is entered  in the FEIN field on the 1099-INT, TurboTax Premier 2024 Desktop edition accepts the 1099-INT and "Tools-->Final Review" does not complain. Any other dummy values such as 00-0000000 and 99-9999999 in the FEIN get flagged by TurboTax's Final Review.

In TurboTax Premier Desktop, you may file one married filing jointly tax return or two married filing separate tax returns.   It sounds like you would file part-year California and part-year Oregon state income tax returns.   Select Review to make sure that all errors have been corrected.   Select File to choose whether to electronically file the tax returns or mail the tax returns.   See also here.

Did you go through the steps, complete to the audit? When going through the steps, it flagged at the audit step saying I needed a date that the Federal amended tax was accepted. Further investigation indicated IL required the Federal amended tax return to be accepted and provide proof.    Regarding the addresses, I couldn't tell if you were able to see the issue with the mis-matched addresses or not for the Federal amendment. I'm assuming the reason for the mis-matched addresses are due to Federal amendments being mailed to KC while Payments are sent to  Louisville, KY. Let me know if you would like me to scan in a copy of the mis-matched addresses.    Thanks, Eric
