I checking on this for you to give you a solid, accurate answer.   Can you please verify for me that you applied for the Refund Advance? I know you said you did, but I need to know what it says in your order details. Here's how to find this:    On the Tax Home page, scroll down to the section for "Your tax returns & documents." Select View Order Details. Look for "Refund Advance" or "Credit Karma Money" listed under your payment and refund methods.  If it’s not there, you likely selected a standard direct deposit or a different refund option.   I also need to know if you received any emails regarding the Refund Advance from TurboTax, Credit Karma, or WebBank. If you applied, you should have received automated emails. Be sure to check your junk and promotional files in your email also. Here are the emails to look for:   From TurboTax: Search for an email confirming your "Refund Selection." From Credit Karma: If you were approved, Credit Karma sends an email when the funds are deposited into your Credit Karma Money Spend account. From WebBank: If your application was denied, you will receive an email from WebBank (the lender) explaining the reason for the decline.   Because the Refund Advance is deposited into your Credit Karma Money Spend account, you can see if the loan was processed. Log in to your Credit Karma account. Navigate to the Money tab. If you see a pending or completed deposit for a portion of your refund (typically between $250 and $4,000) shortly after the IRS accepted your return, that is your Refund Advance.   Let me know these details and I will get you some answers.

Hi @swatkins316    First, you can check your e-file status. It’ll either be pending, accepted, or rejected. If it's been accepted, track your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site. You'll need your Social Security number or ITIN, filing status, and the exact amount of your refund to check your status. You'll find this on the first screen after you sign in to TurboTax. If you mailed your return, wait 4 weeks after mailing your return before using the tool. If it's rejected, fix your return and file it again. If it's pending, wait until your return is accepted.

You are seeing this because the amount of Medicare taxes withheld in box 6 is Not exactly 1.45% of the Medicare wages in box 5.  Remove any cents for the Medicare wages and see if the upgrade message goes away.

Yes, here is where you will enter the $5000 exemption for the US-China Tax Treaty exemption.    Go to Federal > Wages & Income. Scroll to the very bottom to Less Common Income.

No, I cannot e-file an amended 1040X or New York IT-201X with Turbotax (even though the originals were e-filed with TT) because they make you change the filing date to last year and then tell you e-filing is closed. The following link you sent is a TT joke. I was able to e-file an amended NY 2022 return with Turbotax but am unable to to the same for 2024. Makes no sense but there it is. I will mail fed and state returns, begrudgingly.   I have been asking folks on here if I should attach TT's updated versions of my original 1040 and IT-201 to my amended returns, as I did for 2022, but I can't seem to get an answer. What do you think? Thanks.   TT's joke:   Can I e-file my federal Form 1040-X amended return? by TurboTax •       4833 Updated January 14, 2026 9:34 AM   Generally, you can e-file your amended 2025, 2024, or 2023 federal return via TurboTax if your original return was also e-filed in TurboTax. However, there's a chance your return can't be e-filed based on your unique situation. If this happens, you'll need to print and mail your tax return. If you're amending your return for 2022 or earlier, you need to print and mail your amended return. Follow these instructions to amend a prior-year return. Your amended return can take up to 20 weeks for the IRS to process. If further review of your return is necessary, the IRS may take longer. Three weeks after mailing your amendment, you can start tracking it at Where's My Amended Return? on IRS.gov.

Which is my situation, moving for a job. OK, maybe someone else will be able to test this or I can try to test it at home later.
