Yes, premiums for Medicare Part B, Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D, and Medicare supplemental insurance can qualify for the public safety officer insurance premium exclusion.   @Bm9999 @pammby33 

Did you have a shared policy and indicate this in the software? If not everyone on your policy is also listed on your tax return, you need to allocate the marketplace insurance. You can allocate it at any percentage you choose from 0% to 100% as long as the total allocated to all policyholders/taxpayers is not greater than 100%. For example, all amounts can be allocated as 100% on a parent's tax return, while a dependent can allocate 0% on their return. If not all policyholders are on the tax return, this can result in matching errors with the IRS.   @nicdev @cmgmrt 

  Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities,  There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals.  Some states process returns quickly and some are very slow.   STATE RETURN Make sure your state return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   To track your state refund:       ttps://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0

If you have a small business (including a farm), you have the option of using your social security number or getting a federal employer identification number (EIN).  If you pay W-2 employees, it is mandatory that you get an EIN.  But even if you have no employees or only subcontractors, you have the option of requesting an EIN from the IRS. This allows you to use your EIN on certain tax paperwork instead of your personal social security number (such as a W-9 if someone needs to issue a 1099 for payments; or if you want to set up a separate bank account for the business.)   If you don't have an EIN but you are asked for your business tax number, use your social security number.  

The first thing you need to do is to make sure you've filled out the About me or Personal Info section correctly. Using TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to the Personal profile screen, scroll down to Other State Income, and select Edit. On the Did you make money in any other states? question, answer Yes and make sure your nonresident state(s) are selected from the drop-down. Select Continue to return to the Personal profile screen. After you finish your federal return, you'll automatically move to the State taxes section, where you'll see your nonresident state(s) listed in addition to your resident state. Always begin with the nonresident return first.    How do I file a nonresident state return?  

If I'm understanding correctly, you used TurboTax Desktop to file, then later switched hard drives. In this case if the .tax2024 file and prior year .tax files were removed from your hard drive, then there isn't anything that we can do to retrieve those files for you. Intuit does not store a copy of your .tax file.  If you wanted to recreate the file, you could do so by reentering your tax forms and preparing a new return to be identical to the copy you received from the IRS.    How do I find my tax data file (.tax file) on my Windows computer?

I filed before April 15th and no balance on the IRS site yet. I have already settled up the payment for 2023 and wish to add a new payment option so I can pay my taxes over the time. I am not able to do it as I don’t see my balance for 2024. Today is May 6th and I kept checking the site but I can see the word info and once I click on it, I got a message - Your Information Is Not Available at This Time. What should I do to be able to set up a new payment option or I just have to wait? 

I haven’t received any of my tax refunds the last 3 or 4 yrs       Have you been filing tax returns for the past several years?   Were those tax returns accepted and processed fully?  Did the tax forms show that you were supposed to receive a refund?      Do you owe back taxes or child support that has caused your refunds to be seized?        As for being charged this time---is it this?   TURBOTAX TOOK MONEY OUT OF MY  ACCOUNT   Did you choose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund?  Is your refund taking an unusually long time to arrive?  Or was your refund seized to pay a debt you owed? if so, you signed an agreement that says TT can withdraw its fees from your account.  TurboTax would have sent several emails to you before they took the money out of your account.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/bank-account-auto-debited-turbotax-fees/L3rDdVynu_US_en_US?uid=m6bdgedq   TURBOTAX SAYS: How do you justify debiting my account? The provision is spelled out in the Pay With My Refund Agreement, which you agreed to when you opted to pay with your refund. In addition, by clicking the "I Agree" button below, you electronically sign and authorize Intuit (through its third party processor) to debit the TurboTax Fees, Additional Products and Services Purchased and any applicable sales tax from your bank account number identified in the Agreement below, in the event that you do not receive a tax refund that is sufficient to pay for them.       WHY DOES THE IRS SAY THERE IS NO RECORD OF MY RETURN? https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/    Sometimes people get confused by the “summary” given by TurboTax and use the wrong amount for the federal refund.  Make sure you are only using the federal refund amount, and not an amount that combined your federal and state refunds.     Your federal refund amount is on line 35a of your Form 1040
