Too many unknown factors.  You can try the federal or turbotax estimators. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/tax-withholding-estimator TaxCaster tax calculator   Assuming you are single with $250,000 capital gains, some of the gain will be taxed at 15% and some at 20%.  But the gain may also adjust the taxability of your social security.   Most states don't have a preferential capital gains rate and your gain will be taxed as ordinary income.  State taxes range from 3% to 13% depending on the state. 

The refund amount is on line 35a of your Form1040.    And your TurboTax online account will tell you how much your federal refund is supposed to be.     DID YOU E-FILE?   Did you e-file?   Did you go through all three steps of the FILE section and click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”     When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted  or rejected your federal e-file.  If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.   Check your e-file status:   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/    What does it say in your account?  Does it show that the return was accepted?   Or does it say something else---like "rejected," "printed," or "ready to mail?”   If you discover or realize that your e-file was rejected, you will need to print it, sign and date it in ink, and file it by mail now, since e-filing is closed for returns for tax year 2023.      

No.   If you prepared and filed a tax return using some other software or some other tax preparation service, and that return was accepted by the IRS, any other attempt to file a return will be rejected.  You cannot file twice.  If you need your tax forms, get them from the service you used to prepare the original return.

A tax return will not have both a refund amount and an amount you owe.   It will be one or the other.    Look very carefully at your tax form to see if you owe tax due or if you are getting a refund.  It cannot have both.

We do not arrange phone calls from the user forum.   If you want to talk with a "Live" expert, you have to set up the call yourself. https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/product-setup/connect-tax-expert-turbotax-live/L73wOZD5D_US_en_US?uid=m8zw1pbb  

TurboTax does not file anything for you.   It is up to the user to either e-file or mail the returns.  Did you e-file and was the state return rejected?     When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted  or rejected your federal e-file.  If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.     It is now too late to e-file a 2023 return.  The only way to file a 2023 return is by mail.   If you prepared a 2023 state return, you will need to print it, sign and date it in ink, and mail it to DC.

are they tax free for federal? if not, why are they tax free for state and what state? the answer is that there may a specific line on 1120s and thus flow-thru to k-1 and state k-1 to enter this rather than as regular dividend income on schedule K line 5.
