If you are using the desktop software, perhaps it just didn't update when you removed from the federal side of things. Exiting out of program completely or updating the software under the Online menu, may have removed the created worksheets on the state side.

It has been 4 months since i E-Filed for my taxes, and i have not seen my money arrive in my bank. As of typing this i did get off the phone with one of the IRS representatives and they told me that it shows that you guys sent it, my bank confirms they didn't see it get deposited into my bank, i watched my bank after 28 days and more and i called to see if there was any errors or delays and i was told i did put in everything right. By now I'm assuming my return was either mishandled or I'm one of the people waiting to get their tax returns this month; It's been absolutely difficult. The IRS representative did tell me that the problem could be the fees from using your services; do you take all of your tax payers money in fees alone?

I don’t know if there is a max times to try.   Yes try using the Original AGI for both spouses.  If that doesn’t work try 0 for spouse.   If no combinations go through you will have to print and mail it.   

Thank you. I changed the spouse AGI to the ORGINAL, but left the Primary alone (Amended), as that is what the person at Turbo Tax (800-446-8848) told me to do, even though I pointed out that it made no sense. If it is rejected again, should I try entering the ORIGINAL AGI for the Primary and the spouse as $0?  Also, any idea how many times can I try refiling? (agent could not answer that question).  We are in a disaster-affected zone, so have until October. Thank you.

You may want to ask what exactly their "tax fee" is for.   Legally, they just need to give you W-2Gs (or depending on how it is structured, 1099-MISCs) that report your large winnings.   I don't know what it is for, but it is hypothetically possible that they are asking you to pay that fee to get an itemized list that would enable you to report the "session method".  In SOME cases, that can significantly lower the tax that you owe (but in other cases, it could increase your tax versus only reporting your W-2Gs).

First of all you should use the AGI from the ORIGINAL return not an Amended return.   If that doesn’t work try entering 0 for the AGI.   Try entering 0 for the AGI. The IRS might have processed your return later so the AGI didn't get entered in time.  Especially if you mailed it.  That works for most people.

@john54linda57 - TT will calculate it for you. however, since you answered you live in a foreign country (is that correct?), TT takes that into account when determining the taxable amount.     That foreign country question is new in 2024 and has thrown a number of people "off kilter" by not answering it correctly. 

Yes.  You have 3 years to file for a refund.   Did you fill out 2023 yet?   Sorry it's too,late to start a 2023 or prior online return or use the mobile app, either on Turbo Tax or the IRS. And too late to efile 2023. To do a prior year return you have to buy the Desktop program here, https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.   If you have a simple return and want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand.  Here are some basic forms..... Here is the 2023 1040 return https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040--2023.pdf or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors, https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s--2023.pdf 2023 1040 Instructions https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040gi--2023.pdf 2023 EIC and Tax Tables https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040tt--2023.pdf Schedules 1-3 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s1--2023.pdf https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s2--2023.pdf https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s3--2023.pdf Don’t forget your state. And you will have to print and mail your returns.  So be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing. Then when you file for 2024 you need to enter 0 for the 2023 AGI since you are filing 2023 late.
