As xmasbaby0 said, “The IRS guideline is that refunds are issued within 21 days”, provided they are: Electronically filed  With Direct Deposit,  And provided there are no other issues. To check your tax refund status in TurboTax,  Sign in to your account and  Go to the "Tax Home" or "Order Details" screen  It'll tell you if your return was accepted. If you want to know the status of your tax return,  you should use the  IRS Where's My Refund website.  You'll need Your Social Security or individual taxpayer ID number (ITIN) Your filing status The exact refund amount on your return Things that can delay a refund:

Also it’s the same reason code. Rule Number: F8962-070 Rule Number Description: The IRS is expecting Form 1095-A and Form 8962 to be included with your return. You would have received Form 1095-A if your health insurance was obtained through a Marketplace.

Your two rentals can offset each other, but only within the passive-activity loss rules. That’s why the extra $1,000 loss isn’t showing up on your Form 1040.   The IRS considers all rental real estate to be passive, even if you “actively participate,” unless you qualify as a real estate professional. Under these rules, losses can only offset passive income—not wages or other types of income. That’s why TurboTax stops at zero instead of letting the extra $1,000 lower your federal income.   All is not lost however. The "extra" $1000 is a passive loss carryover this year to be used  as a suspended loss until you have passive income to offset it in future years or dispose of the property in a qualifying way.   How Passive Loss Carryover Works for Rental Property

I wonder if this is the same issue we had on ours. We had energy credit for central heat and air installed. we filed and it was accepted with a refund. The irs reviewed and now say we owe when i asked it was because of the energy deduction they said the code that i got for our brand off the irs website isnt allowed and one of our forms says house is not in the us but other form does.  I called turbo tax and they say they dont see any of that and they can see im due for a refund. The irs says that i can appeal and submit my proof that i purchased item with code from their website which im going to do when we get the letter from the irs.

I'm a bit confused. If you efiled your amendment you do not want to also mail your amendment. Can you clarify your situation? You can check the status of an amended return on the IRS Where's My Amended Return site, if that is helpful. 

Are you referring to an IRS payment? I'm confused on what payment you are referring to. It's possible your TurboTax Fees were taken out of your state refund amount.   If you want to check the debit date you specified, look on the filing instructions for your return.  It will tell you the debit date the IRS or State will deduct the payment.  If you did not print them out you can view them using the following steps:    If you filed using TurboTax Online, the Electronic Filing Instructions page will give that info.   Here's how to view the PDF copy: Sign in to TurboTax and open your return. On the Tax Home screen, scroll to Your tax returns & documents and select Add a State (don't worry, you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you into the right area) to access your tax forms and worksheets. In the menu, select Tax Tools, then Print Center. On the TurboTax Print Center screen, select Print, save or preview this year’s return. On the next TurboTax Print Center screen, select 2025 Federal return and Include government and TurboTax worksheets, then select View or print forms. The information will be on the first page, Electronic Filing Instructions, for your 2025 Federal Tax Return, next to Balance Due/Refund. TurboTax CD/Download  Go into Forms Mode by clicking on the Forms icon in the top right of the blue bar.   In the Forms in My Return list on the left, click Filing Inst.  [It's usually toward the bottom of the list.]  The form will appear on the right side of the screen. You can view the form on the screen or you can print a copy by clicking the Print box at the bottom of the screen. To return to the interview, click on the Step-By-Step icon in the top right of the blue bar.

It depends. To answer your question, IRC 125 is the federal rule that allows employers to offer “cafeteria plans,” which let you pay for certain benefits with pre‑tax dollars. These can include:   Medical FSA contributions  Dependent care FSA contributions Pre‑tax health insurance premiums Dental/vision premiums Transit/parking benefits (if run through the plan) Other employer‑specific pre‑tax benefit elections More than likely, the $5,034 on your W‑2 is not your FSA alone. It is the total of all your pre‑tax cafeteria‑plan deductions.    

What did you do last year to get past this?  It sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:   Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu. Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website. Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms. Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit." Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.   Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.
