The 481(a) adjustment should be on the rental property Schedule E, line 19, for this property. Since it is Illinois property, the Schedule E results for this property should be in column B of the NR.  You have a reduced basis for the property, so the gain is increased for Federal and Illinois. This is actually a wash for Illinois. lower profit or higher loss on Scheduke E, which offsets the higher capital gain that flows from the Federal and needs to be in column B of the NR.

Thank you for your reply. In TurboTax, I entered my current address in the Personal Info section. In Step 2 of the filing process, after selecting “Paper check”, the address shown under “Here's where your refund will be mailed” is my current address. Does that mean the refund check will be mailed to that address?

I am trying to amend my 2024 taxes as I didn't realize until the year 2025 that the Sales Tax section never worked in 2024 (Premier version).  I have gone through all the workaround steps suggested by various experts as the system won't pick the higher value by itself.  I now have a value in the Sales Tax deduction area, although it makes me anxious that listing the value as taxes paid, instead of using the system calculation based on my income, is technically incorrect.  Also, entry of a value doesn't impact my refund.  I have already verified there are no software updates available.  I too would like to be informed when this is fixed.

 Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it. Some employers have payroll sites that will have your W-2. You might need to phone, text, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.     As for getting scammed---you have not mentioned any details, but unless your loss was the result of a Ponzi scheme, theft losses are not deductible on your tax return.

Each year you are issued a new IP Pin and can access your pin online through your account on the IRS website. You are required to use the IP PIN issued to you for current or past returns. For example; if you file a return for 2024 in 2026 you need to use the IP PIN issued for 2026. 

Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)   See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return -   CURRENT YEAR https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk   Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return    

In general if you want to file by mail, you have to sign and date your own tax return in ink and mail it yourself.  TurboTax does not mail tax returns for you.   If you are using Full Service, and the expert signs for you, as a paid tax preparer,  you can have a conversation with the expert about mailing vs. e-filing.

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 cannot get child tax credit for a child who was 17 at the end of 2025.   Instead you can get the $500 credit for other dependents.   You can still claim her as a dependent for EIC.   You can get CTC for the 16 year old.
