I'm thinking you did a recharacterization of your $8,000 into a Roth, not a conversion, - a serious error, or entered it as such. What is the distribution code on the 1099-R for this action?   @manwithnoplan 

Ohio has a reciprocal agreement, on wages, with all neighboring states. No Ohio state taxes are withheld or due and you do not need to file an OH return. But your home state will tax you on your Ohio income. If Ohio taxes are mistakenly withheld, you have to file an Ohio return to get a refund.* You should ask your employer to stop withholding so you don't have to file an Ohio return every year. However the reciprocity agreement does not apply to local city taxes. You are not required to file a local city return, but you are also not entitled to a refund of the city withholding (box19 on your W-2), unless there was an error in the amount. If you are subject to a KY county or city tax, you should check to see if the KY city will give you a credit for the OH city tax withheld. KY does allow an itemized deduction (Schedule A) for local tax paid.   *If you indicated you were not a full year Ohio, at the Ohio residency screen, you will be asked  if you had Ohio income and were never an Ohio resident. If you check that box, you’ll get “Ohio Compensation deduction”, under miscellaneous, at the “Here’s the Income Ohio handles differently” screen. If you indicated you were a KY resident in the personal info section and an Ohio non resident, at the Ohio residency screen in the OH state section; you’ll get “Neighboring State Compensation” screen early in the Ohio program. There you enter the box 16 amount from your W-2 that Ohio taxed. Or After indication you were a non resident of Ohio and a KY resident at the Confirm Ohio residency screen -"Here's the Income that Ohio Handles Differently"   -Miscellaneous    -Wages of Full year residents of neighboring states Screen shot at https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/4256143-can-not-figure-out-adjustment-allocation-part-in-my-taxes-i-live-in-michigan-full-year-and-work-in-ohio-with-no-other-income-how-do-i-fill-this-out-or-do-i-need-to   All of your income is to be allocated to non-Ohio. Since some of your W-2 income has been allocated to OH, you need to re-enter that in the box titled “Compensation Earned  in Ohio”. That box is specifically for the wage/salary income of full year residents of reciprocal (neighboring) states.  Screen shot at https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/discussion/re-ohio-credits/01/2867672#M137181

Yeah, I had tried that before. It still doesn't show my balance online, and it has my current payment plan is pending. There is no option to actually revise it, so I think I just need to give it another few weeks before it reports properly online. Then, I'm hoping I can simply modify it and then add a monthly auto-debit.

what's your question? only your employer can tell you why wages were reported for OH. There is reciprocity between these two states so generally your wages should only have been taxed in your home state. 

was that 4/15 Turbotax or the IRS WMR website? Turbotax's date is 21 days after acceptance but can be totally inaccurate. I found that more taxpayer than normal filed close to the due date delaying the processing of refunds. you can use the following to try to speak to an agent (if you can get through). I doubt anything can be done to speed up your refund  Call 800-829-1040 1) Choose your language, 2) Then choose option 2 3) Then 1 4) Then 3 5) Then 2 6) When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN do nothing – wait - - After it asks twice, you will get another menu 7) Then 2 😎 Then 3 It should then transfer you to an agent.

you have two options 1) one safe harbor requires you to pay in 100% of your 2024 tax liability. It's 110% if your 2024 AGI is $150K or more. 1/4 for each period (see 2) for period and due date)  2) use the 2024 form 2210 annualized income installment method to estimate your periodic liability. it's not really quarterly.  the first 3 periods end 3/31 (due 4/15), 5/31 (due 6/15), and 8/31 (due 9/15). There are also online tax calculators, I cannot say how accurate they are when it actually comes time to file. the AIIM is geared towards paying in 90% of your 2025 tax liability.    either method can result in overpaying your taxes. That's just the way the tax laws work. paying 100% of your 2025 taxes on 1/15/2026 doesn't work because then there can be penalties for the first 3 quarters which may be mitigated by using the AIIM.  state laws may vary.   

First, you need to be sure the return was successfully filed.  It depends on how you chose to file the return.   If you filed a paper return by mail, TurboTax does not mail it for you.  If you chose that method, you would have had to print it, sign it, date it, and mail it yourself.  It takes at least 4 weeks for a mailed return to show up in the IRS WMR tool.     If you efiled, double-check to be sure the return was efiled successfully and accepted.  If you used Online TurboTax, you can sign into your Online Account and check the efile status at the Tax Home.  If you used desktop software, you can check from within the software. If that showed it was accepted, (or if you mailed a paper return), you can use the "Where's My Refund" tool at the IRS website below to monitor the status of your Federal refund.   https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund   Here are some tips:   If you efiled, be sure you have waited at least 24 hours after acceptance before using the IRS WMR tool.   If you mailed a paper return, it won't show up in the tool for at least 4 weeks or longer. Be sure you enter the correct tax year, SSN, and filing status. Be sure you are using only the Federal refund amount.   Do not include any state refund or any total refund or net refund (Fed and State) that TurboTax may have provided on a summary screen.   Look at your actual Federal return to get the Federal refund amount, i.e., your Form 1040, Line 35a. If you are also due a state refund,choose your state from the table in this FAQ: FAQ:  How do I track my state refund? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...
