The entry is required to be corrected.   In TurboTax, in the Michigan state income tax return, at the screen Contribution to MESP, MI 529 Advisor Plan and/or Michigan ABLE Account, I am able to enter $11,000 as a contribution for a married filing joint income tax return.   When I select Let's check it over, I receive the screen Check This Entry.    The screen states:  Schedule 1:  Line 17 - Michigan Education Savings Program (MESP) and MI529 Advisor Plan should be less than or equal to $10,000.   I must change the payment to $10,000.   Michigan Schedule 1 line 17 reports $10,000.      

It is true that if you use the Standard Deduction on your Federal Return and then get a state tax refund for that tax year, the refund is not taxable.  The reason is this, if you took the Standard Deduction on your 2024 tax year Federal Return, you did not deduct state tax, therefore any state tax refund attributed to tax year 2024  (which is received in 2025) is not applicable. The refund is not reported, it is not taxable income.    Even when a state refund IS taxable, that taxable refund has nothing to do with Schedule A. The taxable amount of the state refund would be reported on Schedule 1 and flow to your 1040 line 8.   Now getting back to your original question concerning Schedule A.  Schedule A will pick up the amounts of Estimated Tax Payments you list as made for 2025 AND paid in 2025. The payment for 2025 Quarter 4 will not be included since that was made in 2026.  If you had a 4th quarter 2024 payment made in 2025, you need to enter that on different screen from the payments for 2025.    Deductions & Credits Estimates and Other Taxes Paid  Estimates     START or UPDATE   State estimated taxes for 2025     START or UPDATE Enter the payments made Only Quarters 1 through 3 will count for your 2025 Schedule A   Return to Estimated Tax Payments 2024 state estimated taxes paid in 2025     START or UPDATE Choose the state and enter the amount     This total should show on your Schedule A line 5a since you did not pay a state tax liability with your 2024 state return filed in 2025.    If the amount does not match, is the box checked on Schedule A line 5a indicating State Sales Tax rather than State Income Tax?       

If your overtime is not reported in box 14 of the W-2 but you have your total overtime for 2025 from your empoyer, then after you have completed entry of the W-2, on the following screen check the Overtime box and continue.

Try reporting that the assets were converted to personal use rather than sold. Selling at zero sale price will usually remove the asset from your return without reporting a gain or loss. But converting to personal use will by-pass the sale calculation.

Always print a copy of your completed tax return for your records, and review it carefully before e-Filing.

Contact your employer and confirm the California Employer ID is correct in your W-2. Another option is to print and mail your CA return.    Here is how you can do that in TurboTax:   Sign in to TurboTax. To open your return, select Continue or Pick up where you left off.

On the We've determined the easiest way to file your taxes screen, select Change next to the return you want to file by mail, and select File by mail on the next screen. Be sure to Save.

Once you change your payment method, you'll see the File by mail option as described above. Select this and continue to the next step.

TurboTax can only give you an estimated date for receiving a tax refund.   Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   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.   If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...   After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

Are you referring to the "Pay With my Refund"  program?   In the FILE section of TurboTax Select "Pay With my Refund" This will deduct the TurboTax fees and a $40 charge for an independent bank to process the transaction. There are several reasons that could cause this problem.   You must have a refund large enough to cover the TurboTax fees plus an additional fee for an independent bank to do "refund processing" fee ($40, or $45 in CA). You must make a direct deposit to a single account. The name on the bank account must match the name on the tax return. You can't request a paper check. You must E-file the return. You must use a U.S. address. You can't use the Allocation of Refund (Form 8888)

The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/25/2026   You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return. If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again. If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
