Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing of your return or the release of your refund.   Here are a couple FAQs to track your refund: When will I get my federal tax refund? How do I track my state refund? Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"? Why do some refunds take longer than others? What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

You can start your return over by using the link below or you can try to delete the form you do not need. How do I clear and start over? Select the link below for your software version to delete the unwanted form: If you're using TurboTax Online software and need to delete a form, click here. If you're using TurboTax Desktop software and need to delete a form, click here.

If you are getting an error due to the control number, just enter any number in this format: 5 digits, space, 5 digits (for example, 12345 67890). The IRS doesn't care what's in box D. Once entered in this format, you should be able to file your return. 

No, if TurboTax notified you that you need to update the 1099s then you may need to amend or refile your return.  Check and see if your return has been rejected by checking your efile status here.   If the return was accepted then you may need to amend your tax return.  Follow these instructions here.   @davidemilymarks 

Yes, you do need the 1099R and it has to be entered .   Contact the financial institution that manages the retirement plan to see how to get the 1099R.  You might be able to import it or print it from their website.   To enter your retirement income, Go to  Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA  401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.     You had tax withheld from the distributions from the retirement account, just like when an employer withheld tax from your paychecks.  When you enter it all into the software, the calculations are done to reconcile the amount of income you received and the amount of tax that was withheld.  You might owe more or you might get a refund.  

So, are you on Medicare now?   "Seems like it is too late to take out the excess contribution for 2024 taxes" NO, it's not.  1. Go look at your HSA custodian's website to see if you can request a "withdrawal of excess contributions" online. If you can, print off the request and put it in your tax files. If you request the withdrawal by April 15th, then you can argue that you made a good faith effort to comply with the rules. 2. Alternatively, file an extension today (like right now). If you file an extension, then you have until October 15th to withdraw the excess contribution.   From Pub 969 (page 8 ): You may withdraw some or all of the excess contributions and avoid paying the excise tax on the amount withdrawn if you meet the following conditions.  • You withdraw the excess contributions by the due date, including extensions, of your tax return for the year the contributions were made. Then, if you file for an extension, you have six months to straighten this out.
