Once your e-filed return has been accepted, it's too late to update your bank account or change your payment method in TurboTax. If you have already filed, your best option is too Google your state department of taxation and find their website for payment. Most states offer direct pay options to pay online.

You can add the cost of the doors that you install to inventory. To navigate to this option, in the self-employment section, choose Add expenses for this work, Less common expenses, Inventory.   The deductions is COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) so the doors that were not sold during the year are not an expense, they stay in inventory until sold. In the inventory input, you'll report the beginning and ending inventory, as well as the purchases you made throughout the year.  This is how you will compute the COGS for your business.   Here is some information you may find helpful: Do I need to report inventory?

You need to enter your Form 1099-NEC in the Self-employment section of TurboTax, in the Wages and Income area.

We cannot see your screen or your tax return.   Look over your W-2 for 2024 and 2025 and compare the amounts withheld for state tax in 2024 and in 2025 and see if they are different by a lot.  State income is shown in box 16; state tax withheld is shown in box 17.    We do not know what state you are in so cannot speculate as to whether the tax rates increased in your state for 2025.   If the employer did not withhold enough for 2025 state tax, make some changes going forward for 2026.

It depends. The "8453" forms are used for signatures and often need you to scan and upload a signed document or attach paper forms, like brokerage statements. The software needs these attachments sent to the IRS in a certain format..   TurboTax usually waits until the IRS "Modernized e-File" (MeF) system has been running for a few weeks to make sure these attachments won’t cause any issues with your filing. Since the IRS started accepting efile returns on January 26, I would wait until February 9 to file your return.
