Remember that an extension does not give you more time to pay.   You need to pay your tax due by April 15.   The extension only gives you more time to prepare and file your tax return forms.   https://turbotax.intuit.com/irs-tax-extensions/   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-extension/need-file-extension-personal-state-taxes/L32Mt8ZNv_US_en_US?uid=m9a3q808

Tennessee is one of a handful of states with no personal income tax. Retirement savings and Social Security are also not taxed at the state level.   Where are you in the TurboTax software that it is asking this question?  Please clarify.  

It depends on what program you are using. See your options here: How do I file an IRS tax extension? - TurboTax Support - Intuit   This will extend the time you have to file your taxes until October 15th, 2025.     Also, you may have to do your state taxes: Do I need to file an extension for my personal state taxes?   Remember, an extension gives you more time to prepare your taxes, but it doesn't extend the time to pay your taxes.  If you have an indication that you will owe taxes, you should make the payment by the original due date of the tax return to avoid additional interest and penalties.   

Hoping someone else can pick up this thread.   I also am a DOE employee and am exempt. I am in the same situation as the initial poster.  There is now a NYC1127 form for me to print and file.  I used the TurboTax links to determine I was exempt.  I can't recall the exact buttons I pushed as per the response, but if I knew I was exempt I wouldn't have said I needed to complete this form.  I most likely hit continue or done or whatever the prompt is.   Do I still have to file it?

You must be looking at older version of TT . TT 2024 premier has a differnt interview flow for 1116,  When I finish the INT and Dividends it does not let you enter a new category till you answer an AMT question. Then it does; i entered Canada as a country and it messed up the original foreign taxes paid RIC for dividends - it reduces those than before entering the RRSP income+tax paid for some reason.   BTW RRSP is an annuity and is passive income and so should be on the same 1116 form as INT and Dividends but I would have been okay to put it in the general category. . Perhaps the way to do is to go to manual mode (ie form and not step-by-step)   Also in the wages and income part of the interview it has a special section for RRSP from Canada. This part of the interview does not ask about foreign taxes paid to canada as it should. I also went to the form where this is filled out and it does have an option to add foreign tax paid.   There is another bug wrt to RRSP for California (it has been reported and discussed in the TT Community). This bug is there since 2021. Here the interview asked about RRSP and then that part of the interview does not every comeback for you to make corrections. Intuit has not considered worthwhile to fix this reported but increased the price of TT Premier,   Intuit has screwed up

The sale of your second home will be entered  in the Investments section of TurboTax and will be reported on Schedule D.  You can calculate the adjusted cost basis by adding capital improvements made to the home plus the selling expenses to the basis.     Refer to the TurboTax article Cost Basis: Tracking Your Tax Basis and Where do I enter the sale of a second home, an inherited home, or land on my 2024 taxes? for more information.  

The answer given is useless.  It just parrots back what is needed, which are the 3 numbers on your K1 under Code V Statement.  What you need to do in Turbo tax is double click the singe box provided to open the worksheet and enter the 3 numbers with their descriptions there. 

No, not 1040-V. That is payment voucher if you are mailing.  You'll need to find the worksheet I mentioned previously, section V to see the payment details you set up automatically. But today is the day, so if you selected to draft then it will happen on time. @Jbdunn77 

Same thing happened to me last night after years of successfully using Turbotax. TT said fix the error and resubmit. However it was because of missing IPPIN number which I never heard of. Looked at IRS online and said could take up to 21 days to get the info. There are two options: one is to send a paper return and supporting documents or file for an extension. I'm filing for an extension but I will do that by printing and sending the paper Form 4868 for an extension. I don't trust filing it online as it might be rejected too and today is the 15th.
