Las declaraciones de impuestos federales se toman aproximadamente 21 días asumiendo que todo está bien y que no le hayan mandado alguna carta.    Si reclamó dependientes y en su declaración están incluidos los créditos de los niños y/o el crédito tributario por ingreso EITC, el IRS puede tomarse un poco más de tiempo para enviar su reembolso.   Puede monitorear su declaración en la página del IRS, la cual le comparto en el siguiente enlace: Rastrear mi Reembolso  

I resolved this with the Help of Turbotax support. I'd made a copy of my tax return file and started with that to make the amendment. That was causing the issue. When I used the original file which I used to file the return, it allows me to e-file.

I updated my desktop Software (again) and started a new tax return in the hopes that my 2024 rental property and all associated depreciation information would be imported.   It was not.   I did the "Add an Asset" step and had to re-enter the condo rental property info (date purchased, amount, date placed in service, percent of use (I think that was all).  This produced the desired depreciation information.   My complaint is that I have never had to do this with Turbax. It would automatically import it all for me.  I found all of the needed information from old files, but it was time-consuming and aggravating.  Rental property handling was probably the most compelling reason that I purchased TurboTax in the past, so it was really disappointing to have this feature fail.    Is the broken import problem thought to be fixed? I would like to know if it is before I decide to purchase TurboTax in the future. 

As long as you haven't mailed your return, you will be able to edit or make corrections. To do this, follow next steps:   Log in and go to the "Your Tax Returns & Documents"  section. Choose "Add a state." (You're not really adding one; that's just to get the return to open up.) Once the return is open, you can go to the State Taxes tab to complete the state review it before filing since some of the forms may have been updated.   You can edit any information directly in the state section if you find a mistake. Then go to the File section to select a filing method, and choose to file only the State return. After ensuring everything is correct, print the new, corrected version for mailing. Then, sign and mail the return yourself.    If you need help and how to file your return by mail, open the link below:  How do I file my return by mail?  

To clarify, what are the terms of the sale? Is this something that you sold this year and were wondering if you needed to make estimated payments or sold in 2025 and wondering if you should have made estimated payments?   @sissybell       

Your Dependent Care FSA (the amount in Box 10 of your W-2) is probably being added to your taxable income because you did not properly report sufficient qualifying, work-related dependent care expenses on Form 2441. The IRS treats these pre-tax contributions as taxable if they are not used for qualified expenses.  You must file IRS Form 2441 with your tax return to prove the money was spent on qualified, work-related child/dependent care.   For step-by-step instructions on how to report your Dependent Care expenses in TurboTax, click on the following help article link:   How do I get to the Child and Dependent Care Credit in TurboTax?  

Enter the W-2 that has all the information in boxes 1 -13 manually.  Then enter the information from the other W-2's for box 14 on that W-2.  You can add more than one box 14, click on Add another box 14 item.

@Sbrown140 wrote: Why then does it state in the IRS that you can deduct tips without a 1099 as long as you keep detail;ed records of which i do  have? Can you post a link to where it says that?  You can definitely never deduct anything that is not included in income to start with, so you would have to declare the tips as income before you could deduct them.  But the regulation is pretty straightforward.  You would have to report the tips on form 4137, but I don't think you can access that form in Turbotax unless you have a W-2.  I have already asked for a review.  You should see if you can report your tips on form 4137.    "Section 224(a) allows qualified tips to be deducted if they are included on Form W-2, “Wage and Tax Statement;” Form 1099-NEC, “Nonemployee Compensation;” Form 1099-K, “Payment Card and Third Party Network Transactions;” Form 1099-MISC, “Miscellaneous Information;” or Form 4137, “Social Security and Medicare Tax on Unreported Tip Income.” Employees that enter a Tipped Employee Participation Agreement as part of the IRS Tip Rate Determination Agreement (TRDA) program or a Model Gaming Employee Tip Reporting Agreement as part of the IRS Gaming Industry Tip Compliance Agreement (GITCA) program report their tips according to tip rates established under their agreement (and these tips are included on Form W-2). The proposed regulations would clarify that the term “qualified tips” for employees participating in the TRDA or GITCA program includes tips reported using the tip rates established under their agreement and additional tips reported on Form 4137." https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/09/22/2025-18278/occupations-that-customarily-and-regularly-received-tips-definition-of-qualified-tips  

The overpayment  of state taxes from your 2024 tax return that you applied to 2025 will serve as a credit against your 2025 state tax liability and has to be entered in TurboTax in the Federal section. It will then flow through to the state return.   You can enter the amount applied to your 2025 state tax by following these steps:   In TurboTax Online, open your tax return Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then Deductions & Credits on top of the screen Scroll down and locate the section named Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click on the arrow on the right Click on Start next to Income taxes Paid On the next page, click Start next to 2024 refund applied to 2025 and click on the arrow on the right Click Start next to 2024 refund applied to 2025 state taxes

Ok, so if this is a browser/computer/installation issue, and several people are reporting the same issue, and you are the company that wrote the software then you should have a software solution instead of just throwing out the same ideas to everyone. Can we submit our tax forms via e-file and be confident that the forms will be sent properly?

Yes, you can claim your NY property and school tax as an itemized deduction.  Itemized expenses include mortgage interest, gambling losses within limitations,  charitable contributions, state and local taxes up to $40,000, medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of your AGI and federally declared casualty and losses.      Then your total itemized expenses would need to be greater than your standard deduction below in order to benefit from your expenses or your property taxes.    The 2025 Standard Deductions are as follows: Married Filing Joint (MFJ)              $31,500 Married Filing Separate (MFS)      $15,750 Head of Household (HOH)             $23,625  Single                                                 $15,750                                 Blind or over 65 and MFJ or MFS add $1,600 Single or HOH if blind or over 65 add $2.000 Standard Deduction vs. Itemized Deductions: Which Is Better?
