T o have the developers take a closer look, I suggest ordering a diagnostic file to see if this is a software issue. Here is what I need you to do.   Open your tax return in the TurboTax 2025/2026 application. Go to the menu bar at the very top of your Mac screen (next to the Apple icon). Click on Help. Select Send Tax File to Agent. A pop-up message will appear explaining that a "sanitized" diagnostic copy will be created. Click OK or Send to transmit it. The Token Number: Once the transmission is complete, a 6 or 7-digit Token Number (e.g., 1234567) will appear on your screen. When you get that token number, reply back in this thread and we will take take a look at it.

You do not have direct access to forms or schedules with online TurboTax.   Forms mode is a feature of desktop download software only.    With online you can preview your Form 1040 and Schedules 1, 2, or 3.   AFTER you pay your fees you can see the other forms and schedules.   PREVIEW 1040 https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/preview-turbotax-online-return-filing/L77WCkvnu_US_en_US?uid=m681fkhr  

TurboTax closes the window for e-filing amended returns in October of the following year (October 2025 for tax year 2024). The software is then updated for the next tax year. While you can prepare an amended return for any year that you e-filed using TurboTax, you will need to print, sign, and mail the return as described above.

MY STATE REFUND WAS LESS THAN I EXPECTED The state will send you a letter explaining the change.  TurboTax does not get any feedback from your state after your return is accepted, so no one at TT knows why your state refund was less.   Did you owe back taxes, child support, or student loans?  Traffic fines, etc.?     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0

We are aware that some customers are still experiencing problems when trying to file and receive a saying that there are some transmission issues.     We are currently investigating this issue.    We will notify you once the program is updated.  

Yes; you can enter the CA address on your return if that is the address you want the IRS to send correspondence to.   In the My Info - personal information section, make your you have your resident state listed as FLORIDA.   This is the field that generates the state tax return, so go back and edit your resident state for you and your spouse if filing jointly.      You can delete the CA return after you update your state of residence.    

Since you are married and your wife is a non-resident alien (NRA) without an ITIN, the IRS does not allow you to file as "Single." Your marital status for tax purposes is determined by your status on December 31 of the tax year. Since she does not have (and does not want) an ITIN, you have two main options: Married Filing Separately (MFS) or, if you have a qualifying dependent, Head of Household (HOH)   To file Married filing Separately:  In your software, enter your wife's name and date of birth in the Personal Info section.. Leave the SSN/ITIN field blank or enter a "placeholder" (like all zeros) to pass the initial interview. You cannot e-file. You must print your return. Manually write "NRA" (for Non-Resident Alien) in the space for your spouse’s Social Security Number.  Sign and mail the paper return to the IRS.   You may be able to file as Head of Household, which offers a much higher standard deduction and better tax brackets than MFS.   The "Unmarried" Rule: For tax purposes, the IRS considers you "unmarried" if your spouse is a non-resident alien and you do not choose to treat her as a resident. Requirements: You must have a qualifying person (usually a child or parent) who lived with you for more than half the year. Your wife cannot be the qualifying person. You must have paid more than half the cost of keeping up your home. If you qualify, you might be able e-file this status, but you may still need to write "NRA" in the spouse info section if prompted.        [ Edited 02/12/2026 I 12:41pm PST]  

Q. What about if you go above that 5250.00 and then they tax the taxes out on your checks.  Can you claim anything on the extra taxes that you paid in? A. Yes.  You may use the amount above $5250 to claim the education credit.  That is you may treat that amount of tuition, as paid by you, not your employer, since that amount was taxable income to you.  Essentially, it was not reimbursement, it was additional salary, because it was taxed.  That's why the amount was included in box 1 o your W-2. 

That depends on whether you are reporting a for-profit business activity or hobby income, or no income because you sold used items for less than your original cost.  If a hobby or used items, expenses are not deductible.  If you are reporting a for-profit self-employment business on schedule C, there are a number of different categories of expenses and the interview should take you through them.  Are you having trouble finding specific items?

Follow these instructions to delete Form 4547 for the Trump account: Open your return and choose Tax Tools from the left menu bar. Choose Tools. Choose the Delete a form option under Other Helpful links.  Find Form 4547 in the list of forms and delete it.

You may not have been able to efile because all the forms were not ready. Once ready, your account changed. Go back through your Vermont. You can compare the new version to what you have printed. If the new paperwork shows the same refund, you can try filing your VT tax return. If you already mailed it, then you are done.

First of all, I posted on this issue back in 2021 and it still has NEVER worked with Wells Fargo Advisors ; I try every year and get exactly the same result.   I might try again this year, but I know my forms aren't yet available so I haven't attempted.  I know when my forms are available because Wells communicates that to me.   I use the summary method only because TurboTax doesn't work.  It works just fine with my other investment institutions , including Fidelity.   The summary method is a pain and I only use it because TT hasn't fixed this up through the 2024 tax year.
