Do you want to apply some or all of your 2024 refund to 2025?  Have you filed 2024  yet?  Before filing you can preview the 1040 or print the whole return https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/accessing/help/how-do-i-preview-my-turbotax-online-return-before-filing/00/26160   To apply part or all of your Federal refund to next year Federal Taxes Tab or Personal (H&B version) Other Tax Situations Additional Tax Payments Apply Refund to Next Year - Click the Start or Update button   To apply a state refund I think it will be on one of the last  screens before you file state.  

You can check on your order status in the link below:   Check Order Status   If you need further support, you can contact TurboTax using the information in the following link:   What's the TurboTax phone number?   @Babyyari317 

When mailing 1040-X,  Do not include your old 1040 nor your revised 1040 because the Form 1040-X reflects any changes there and becomes your new tax return.   That's just another reason to not file an amendment in your situation.   @CRAM5 

The IRS has not published the 2025 forms yet. Form 1041 for 2024 was released by the IRS in December 2024. The IRS instructions for 2024 were not published until January 2025. After the IRS releases the 2025 forms and instructions, TurboTax will need some time to incorporate the new forms and instructions into the software.  

You did all the work and got exactly the correct result. If TurboTax lets you SUBMIT , you are just reporting a distribution that is not taxed.   I don't think TurboTax will e-file a 2023 1040-X so you would have to mail it in. It's not necessary.   @CRAM5 

What do you see on the IRS refund site?  Look there instead of looking for a transcript too soon.   You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds         FROM THE IRS WHERE’S MY REFUND SITE: https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund How it works Where's My Refund shows your refund status: Return Received – We received your return and are processing it. Refund Approved – We approved your refund and are preparing to issue it by the date shown. Refund Sent – We sent the refund to your bank or to you in the mail. It may take 5 days for it to show in your bank account or several weeks for your check to arrive in the mail.  

E-filing for 2022 has been permanently closed since October 2023.  The only way to file your 2022 return is by mail.  Print it, sign and date it in ink, and mail it.   When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.  

Software for 2025 tax returns usually becomes available in mid to late November; TurboTax Business is a desktop download that can be used with Windows, or as an online program with "Live" help from a tax expert.   As stated above, your filing deadline for a 2025 tax return will be in 2026.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.     You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds   To track your state refund:     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr   If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refunds-take-longer-others/L14YlqFrH_US_en_US?uid=lexdr7zh . https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/irs-refund-taking-longer-21-days/L2vRAJbdU_US_en_US?uid=lexe7lst     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/irs-refund-taking-longer-21-days/L2vRAJbdU_US_en_US?uid=lexe7lst

If the estate will not be terminating until December of 2025, you have until April to file the 1041.   TurboTax Business 2025 will be out way before the date you need to file the return for the estate.   BTW, which state do you need? TurboTax Business does not support all states.

@benplimpton66    Perhaps more info is needed.   I suspect you shouldn't need Other State tax part of the 39R at all.   IF...if your HOR/State of legal residence (SLR) is IDaho?  Then your Military W-2 income is not taxable by CA. Only if you worked a civilian job while off-duty in CA  (civilian W-2 or Self-employed work in CA), only then would you need a non-resident CA tax return that would result in CA Non-resident taxes being assessed.   If your HOR/SLR is ID, then you do NOT indicate you moved to CA in the Personal Information section of tax software.   As an active duty military person, you are treated as having lived in ID all year, no matter were you are posted or deployed. ____________________________ Read: What is my military state of residence?  

Prescription Insurance payments...Part D perhaps?   Yes, as "potential" Medical Deductions you enter on the Deductions&Credits page in the Medical Expenses area.  The interview in that area will ask about all medical insurance payments you made. .....but it doesn't end up as a deduction unless 1) All your out-of-pocket Medical expenses exceed 7.5% of your AGI, and then only the part that exceeds the 7.5% of AGI is included in your itemized deductions...AND 2) even then, ALL your itemized deductions must exceed your Standard Deduction before any will be used.   Of course, if you have enough itemized deductions to be used, you'll have to upgrade to the Deluxe software to use them.  The online Free or Live Basic software can't utilize itemized deductions/Schedule A.
