Are you receiving Social Security disability benefits?     You need to file a federal return if half your Social Security plus your other income is   Single or Head of Household      $25,000 Married Filing Jointly                  $32,000 Married Filing Separately            $0  

It depends on what "I live and go to college in Florida" really means.   If you were a resident of IL before you "went off" to college in FL, you are still (most likely) an IL resident.  This is particularly true if you are still a dependent of IL resident parents and/or you still maintain a IL home address.    Most, college age, college students are still residents of the state they lived in before going to college.  You file an IL resident return and pay IL tax on all your income.  If you had also worked in another state, and paid tax to that state, IL would give you a credit for the tax paid to that state.  When you worked in a state without an income tax (e.g. Florida), there will be no credit, since there was no FL tax. In other words, having worked in a state without an income tax does not get you out of paying state tax on that income, to your home state.

Yes, I misspoke regarding the effective date.  However, the IRS did not issue its guidance until early 2024, so few plans implemented Roth employer contributions after the effective date prior to 2024.  If you did not explicitly elect that employer contributions were to be made as Roth contributions, they were made as contributions to the traditional 401(k) account.

Hi, PatriciaV,   Using your link for "What is the TurboTax phone number?", I only get the following:   Not Found. Redirecting to https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/home/misc/03/en-us   Could you reply to my email: [email address removed]?  Thanks.

The Audit Risk Results are not included in the TurboTax online web-based editions.   The Audit Ricks Results are available when using the TurboTax desktop editions in the Review section of the program.

If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds   If you requested to have the TurboTax account fees deducted from your federal tax refund, the IRS will send the refund to a third party processor to have the fees and the $40 service charge deducted. The third party processor will deduct the TurboTax fees plus the $40 service charge and then attempt to direct deposit the remaining refund balance into the account that you entered on your tax return. For the status of your tax refund you will need to contact the third party processor, Santa Barbara Tax Product Group, using their website - https://www.sbtpg.com/ Tax Products Group Contact Information - https://help.sbtpg.com/hc/en-us/articles/230084587-Contact-Information Call 1-877-908-7228 Or email - TPG-CSsupport@greendotcorp.com
