If you chose the option to have your TurboTax account fees paid from the federal tax refund, see this TurboTax support FAQ for how to remove that option - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/remove-pay-refund-fees-turbotax-online-change/L7UxC6ZZp_US_en_US

Yes last year they changed the way to enter 1099.   I don't like the new way at all.  Too many clicks and screens to click on and go through.  And sometimes it seems like it’s starting over.  But don’t worry keep going, it will take you to enter a new investment.       When you get the list of Interest and Dividends combined, Go to the bottom and click on +Add Investments, then import or skip import, THEN....should be a screen with 5 boxes, pick Interest, Dividends, Stocks Bonds Mutual Funds, Cryptocurrency, or Other   Hope that helps you get there or close.

When you use online TurboTax there are always separate fees for the federal and state returns.   You are NOT required to pay the fees by having them deducted from your federal refund.  You can pay upfront using a credit or debit card before you file and avoid that EXTRA $40 refund processing fee.

Go to the forms mode in your program. In the 1040 section, select open form and then type 8958. Once here, you may enter all allocations directly on this form because the fields should be in brown. Taxes withheld are on line 11 on the form.   If your fields aren't editable in your 8958 in your return, delete the form 8958 and then add it back again.   @desertlife  @user17690181793  @user17674020775 

You enter your state tax payments in the Federal section.   In TurboTax Online, you can enter the state taxes you paid in 2025 by following these steps:   Open your tax return Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then Deductions & Credits  Locate the section named Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click on the arrow on the right  Click on Start next to Other Income Taxes Paid in 2025 Click on Start next to Balance due on your 2024 state taxes paid in 2025.

TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your return.  No one at TT can find out.  Only the IRS is in control and only the IRS can give you any information.   Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday  

Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.   If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds   Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday   You may want to contact a Taxpayer Advocate in your area.  See this IRS website for Taxpayer Advocate - https://www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/ or call 1-877-777-4778
