No.   TurboTax does not email your tax returns to you.       You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.    https://myturbotax.intuit.com/   Start a 2024 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/27010     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-2021-turbotax-online-return-pdf/L8dHfRkpT_US_en_US?uid=m5y4ch1y   Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx Account Recovery     Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/find-last-year-tax-data-file-tax-file-computer/L0XJvPaJr_US_en_US?uid=m6gufxei     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/data-systems/find-tax-data-file-mac/L4VNGm33S_US_en_US?uid=m6guhab0 You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf       SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS ! EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.    https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-2021-turbotax-online-return-pdf/L8dHfRkpT_US_en_US?uid=m6guj526   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-2021-turbotax-online-return-pdf/L8dHfRkpT_US_en_US?uid=m78eb8pc In order to transfer a past year return to the new return you need the tax file   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-turbotax-online-return-tax-data-file/L4xwOG3LF_US_en_US?uid=m6guk3xl   NOTE:  TurboTax and the IRS save returns for seven years.  Returns older than seven years are purged.  

just to clarify tho - if I'd paid $45 for state return I wouldn't expect to then get $25 charge for e-file so it's $70 total to file state, agree that's a lot.  But that's their online pricing model (that I will never touch). 

TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your tax return. To check on regular tax refund status via automated phone, call 800-829-1954.   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       How do I speak to the IRS internationally? https://www.irs.gov/help/contact-my-local-office-internationally  

If folks are worried about $25 for state e-file they should be using TT desktop not online which I believe is cheaper and doesn't vary with all these different forms needed, especially if you buy it early in tax season when the s/w is generally discounted; or not using TT at all.  Given the first state with desktop is free I'm paying $25 to do my state taxes.  The e-file may be 'free' but it's not like they are ripping anyone off (on this at least), they have to develop and maintain the software for every state which all have different tax laws.  I usually get my taxes done for about $100-125 all-in, it's fine.

Also, only the first, $12,500 of the overtime (filing SINGLE) as @Opus 17 calculates it would be deductible.  Not ALL the calculated overtime is deductible.    There is a phaseout that begins at $150,000 of adjusted gross income (again filing SINGLE), which doesn't appear to be at issue in this case. 

@dpa500 before I respond in detail, please confirm   1) the real estate you are now renting is the home you were living in prior to moving to FL.  Is that why there is no rental income for the part-year prior to moving?   2) on the capital gains.....is that stocks and bonds sales?  or real estate sales? and if real-estate, in what state is the real estate located? 

If you are not a business, ownership of a car is not reported on your tax return.  In some states, you can deduct a portion of car registration fees or personal property taxes based on the value of the car.  Just enter the taxes paid, you don't need to identify which car.   If you own a business and the car is used for business, you need to report that the previous car was disposed of (sold, donated, whatever)  and you report the addition of the new car as a business asset. 

Specifically regarding no tax on overtime, the law makes the 50% overtime pay exempt from tax on hours over 40 per week, but your base pay is still taxable.   As a simple example, suppose your base pay is $20 per hour and you work 45 hours.  You will be paid 40 hours at $20 per hour and 5 hours at $30 per hour ($20 plus $10 for overtime).  It is the 5 hours x $10 that will be tax-free.  Your base pay (45 hours x $20/hour) is still taxable. 

No one can call you from the user forum.   To check on regular tax refund status via automated phone, call 800-829-1954.   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.

@NCperson Haha, thanks. Yes, part year only cares about what I earned while a resident so I would be correct in entering 0 for capital gains and rental income right? And as you mentioned earlier, I would have to complete a 763 separataly outside of TT to account for the capital gains and rental income? If so, that's definitely a flaw in TT.
