@jmgretired    I agree with @NCperson. You must have answered a question wrong somewhere along the line. Income from 1099-MISC box 3 does not normally go on Schedule C. Here's how to enter a 1099-MISC with income in box 3 in TurboTax so that it's reported as "other income" instead of as business income. It will be reported on Schedule 1 line 8z with the description "Other Income from box 3 of 1099-Misc." After you enter the information from the 1099-MISC form and click Continue, TurboTax will ask a series of questions about the 1099-MISC income. Answer as follows, even if some of the answers aren't true.   "Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC." - It doesn't matter what you enter. Enter a short description such as "Retirement benefit." Click Continue. You will see this description used in some of the subsequent questions, but it will not appear on your tax return. "Does one of these uncommon situations apply?" - Select the last choice, "None of these apply," and click Continue. "Did the Retirement benefit involve work that's like your main job?" - Select No and click Continue. "How often did you get income for Retirement benefit?" - "I got it in 2024" will already be checked. Do not check any of the other boxes. Just click Continue. "Did the Retirement benefit involve an intent to earn money?" - Select No and click Continue.  

Do you mean you are preparing the child's tax return? If the child is subject to "kiddie tax" you would have entered the parent's Social Security number in the "Child's Income" topic under "Less Common Income." But the tag below your question says you are using TurboTax Free Edition. Free Edition would not cover kiddie tax.  

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities,  There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals.  Some states process returns quickly and some are very slow.   STATE RETURN Make sure your state return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   To track your state refund:       ttps://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0

You don’t have to fill out or submit 2024.   Just enter some basic personal info for the side menu to open up.   Turbo Tax and the IRS only keeps the last 7 years. If they still have it……..

You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2024 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2024. I had to go though about 12 screens. If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups.

No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/contact-turbotax/L2y9ZKpQB_US_en_US?uid=m5s9l2vh
