I figured it out....and IMO Turbo needs to flag this and provide feedback.  Apparently in order to contribute to an IRA, you need to make income....not interest or dividends, but income.   So, because I didn't earn anything I cannot contribute.

It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return  

If you deleted the .tax file you can check their trash to see if you emptied it yet or not.  If you did not you can restore it from your trash or recycle bin.     If not, you will need to recreate your return using a pdf that you should have printed.   If your federal return was accepted and you are trying to submit your state from a different tax file, you will need to print and mail your return.  The state needs to have a federal attached to it that has been electronically submitted in order to e-file the state. You will not be able to submit the state electronically with a recreated file.

Yes, if it was paid to her prior to her death it would be reported on her estate return. If it was paid to a decedent after her death via probate or her will, they would report it on their return as miscellaneous income like MaryK4 indicated. So it depends on when the income was received and who it was paid to.

You received an email that we cannot see that tells you why your tax return was rejected.   Some rejected returns can be fixed and re-filed.  Some have “un-fixable” reasons for the rejection and have to be mailed instead.    What is the rejection code or rejection message?     If it was rejected for AGI—-your 2024 AGI might not be in the IRS system if you filed late.   Try using zero instead.   If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/where-do-i-correct-my-agi-in-turbotax-online/00/26311   If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

The first RMD is required by Dec 2026. @user17708699379
