@sebeshegyi This is an old thread that has had no activity since 2022.    You say that you have been "waiting for more than 11 weeks," but do not make clear whether you see any sort of message from the IRS regarding being under review or having to verify identity.  TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your tax return.     Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities.  There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.   TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.      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    

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/   When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state.  This will take you back to the 2024 online tax return. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Then click on Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets   If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

The IRS will not make a direct deposit to a foreign bank.  They will only mail a check to the address you used on your tax return, and then it is up to you to deposit or cash that U.S. Treasury check.   Another possible reason for delay---If you are a non-resident alien you cannot use TurboTax.   You were supposed to prepare a federal Form 1040NR, which is not supported by TurboTax.   If you are a non-resident alien, your return must be filed on Form 1040NR, which cannot be prepared using TurboTax.  You can use TT’s partner, sprintax: https://www.sprintax.com/non-resident-alien-tax-1040nr-turbotax.html   IRS —HOW TO DETERMINE RESIDENCY STATUS FOR TAX https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/determining-an-individuals-tax-residency-status#:~:text=If you are not a,January 1 – December 31).     Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities.  There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.   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.

Y is a new code that will appear in Box 7, when applicable. If Schwab won't put that code, treat the 1099-R in Turbotax the same way you would for this tax year.   If TurboTax 2025 requires a code Y for QCD, you will have an issue. @Tater19 

Thanks, Just a few thoughts on these answers.   I don't see where % is blanked out on the income/expense page?   Our return has already been done by a CPA. I already know the taxes due. I'm just trying to understand going forward so I can follow along and find out why a mathematical software program can't do this AUTOMATICALLY.   The asset page % is for business usage and it's set at 91.62% for our situation. I tried to change it to 41.62% and changed the asset to 100%. The result changed the taxes due by a few dollars and that was just one asset that's being depreciated. So, I assume that doesn't work.   I'm not familiar with partnership filing. I assume that's not an issue because our new CPA is not doing that and our past CPA hasn't for years.    I'll mess around with this depreciation issue more later.

You should go back to the CPA who prepared your 2022 return and get help there.   When you use TurboTax software, information flows from the federal return to the state return.  You would not be able to use TT software to prepare a state form in isolation.   You would have to use the downloaded software to re-create your federal return to appear exactly as filed, and then prepare the state return including the 568 you are concerned about.   

@Jrcat  This is an old thread from 2020.   The federal stimulus checks were issued for tax years 2020 and 2021.   It is too late to seek the recovery rebate credit for those stimulus amounts now.   You can check your own IRS online account and/or check your spouse's online account to see if stimulus checks were sent for either of you for 2020 or 2021.     https://www.irs.gov/payments/your-online-account  

When you print your return for filing by mail, a page of mailing instructions including the addresses to use will be included.   For federal https://www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-paper-tax-returns-with-or-without-a-payment     For GA: https://dor.georgia.gov/mailing-address-individualfiduciary-income-tax     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 UPS or 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.  

There is no such filing status as "married filing single."     If you were legally married at the end of 2024 your filing choices are married filing jointly or married filing separately.   Married Filing Jointly is usually better, even if one spouse had little or no income. When you file a joint return, you and your spouse will get the married filing jointly standard deduction of $29,200 (+ $1550 for each spouse 65 or older)  for 2024. You are eligible for more credits including education credits, earned income credit, child and dependent care credit, and a larger income limit to receive the child tax credit.    If you choose to file married filing separately, both spouses have to file the same way—either you both itemize or you both use standard deduction. Your tax rate will be higher than on a joint return.    Some of the special rules for filing separately include: you cannot get earned income credit, education credits, adoption credits, or deductions for student loan interest. A higher percent of your Social Security benefits may be taxable. Your limit for SALT (state and local taxes and sales tax) will be only $5000 per spouse. In many cases you will not be able to take the child and dependent care credit. The amount you can contribute to a retirement account will be affected. If you live in a community property state, you will be required to provide additional information regarding your spouse’s income. ( Community property states:  AZ, CA, ID, LA, NV, NM, TX, WA, WI)    If  you are using online TurboTax to prepare your returns, you will need to prepare two separate returns and pay twice since with online, you get one return per fee.     https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/marriage/should-you-and-your-spouse-file-taxes-jointly-or-separately/L7gyjnqyM?srsltid=AfmBOopGqCNexowW0pYgvsf7ycIkrx4VjO_63UXv6vSnfu3UEGQiKQTh   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/income/getting-married-mean-taxes/L2RgmagpE_US_en_US?uid=m69on7t0       HOW TO START A NEW RETURN TO FILE MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY     When you enter your own information in My Info, you have to answer the question "Were you married?"  If you click the button for Married, then a drop down will appear that asks, "Do you want to file this return together with your spouse?”   Your answer needs to be NO.   Then it will ask for information about your spouse—-their name and SSN which you must enter.   EACH spouse has to file their own separate return.   And you have to follow all of the rules which include that if one of you enters itemized deductions, the other one must also itemize.  Or…you both use standard deduction.  If you are in a community property state there are additional rules and more information to enter.         If I am filing a separate return why do I have to list my spouse’s information on my return? Even if you file separate returns (the worst way to file) you each have to list each other's SSN's and some other information on your own tax return.  The IRS can then cross check to make sure you are not "double dipping" for itemized deductions, dependents, etc.   If you are in a community property state, there is more information that will be needed.

No.    First---e-filing is closed for 2022 and 2023, so the only way to file those returns is by mail.   Online TurboTax cannot be used for past year returns.   You need to use the downloaded desktop software for each of those years on a full PC or Mac.  And...you need your W-2's.       Each tax year has to be filed separately using the forms for the specific tax year.  They cannot be combined in any way--do not even put them in the same envelope when you mail them.   You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2024 only.   Only a 2024 return can be prepared online and only a 2024 return can be e-filed.   Online preparation and e-filing for 2021, 2022, and  2023 is permanently closed. Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.   To file a return for a prior tax year  If you need to prepare a return for 2021, 2022, or 2023  you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s) https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/ You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.   Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0   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.       TurboTax does not have your W-2.   W-2’s come from employers.   You might need to phone, text, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-forms/get-copy-w-2/L8FTim9MO_US_en_US?uid=m68ee4os     Other ways to get W-2’s:   Pay Social Security $62 per tax year for your W-2’s.:   https://faq.ssa.gov/en-US/Topic/article/KA-02501     https://www.irs.gov/help-resources/tools-faqs/faqs-for-individuals/frequently-asked-tax-questions-answers/irs-procedures/transcript-or-copy-of-form-w-2/transcript-or-copy-of-form-w-2     You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS:  It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received.  It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript  

@pedrorivera006891 wrote: I have not received state return First, you need to be sure your state return was successfully filed.   If you efiled, be sure your efiled state return was accepted.  If you used Online TurboTax, you can check by looking at the Tax Home in your Online account.   Does it say accepted, rejected, printed, started, ready to mail, or something else?   Or did you choose to file by mail instead?  TurboTax does not mail it for you.  If you chose that method, you have to print, sign, date, and mail it.   The FAQ below tells how to check on a state refund and has a link for your state.  Then you'll see information for your state (which may include info on how long it takes in your state) and a link to go to your state's "Where's My Refund" tool.   It may also have a link to your state's department of revenue.   Your state may also have a FAQ section at it's "Where's My Refund" site that tells how long to expect in your state, and how to contact them to inquire.   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_...
