@danimee6    I just had another user who has this issue delete his state return and was successful filing. He didn't need to file a state return, but went through the state process to make sure he didn't need to file it. He deleted that state return and filed his Federal. His just got accepted by the IRS.     Can you try this and let me know if you are successful? Thank you!

You can report the income from plasma donation using these steps in the Federal section of TurboTax Online:   1. Wages & Income 2. Less Common Income 2. Miscellaneous Income 4. Other Reportable Income 5. Add: Other Taxable Income 

In TurboTax Online, you will go to Deductions & Credits   Log back into TurboTax Select Deductions & Credits Scroll to Home Energy Credit [Add/Edit] Click the Radial button for Yes, we made these energy-efficient improvements or have a carryforward. Continue the interview. You may need the Manufacturer ID (QMID) The first place to check is your purchase invoice, manufacturer certification statement, or contact the installer.     You can also check the IRS list of registered manufacturers.  This will create the form 5695

@CatinaT1  can you please escalate this and  get our processing fees refunded- this has been a headache to say the least. Now we’re at risk of being double charged. I think after this we should not be charged at all. I tried but it will not accept my order number and I input all info correctly multiple times. 

I see, thank you so much for your time. I had a couple of questions. Should I wait until the current status of my application is marked as complete before proceeding further? Is there a separate amendment required for my state tax return as well? When does the amendment process for the 2025 tax year begin? If I have received an excess refund, what is the correct process to repay the extra amount?

I am assuming you are a US Citizen.  If so, then you would file as a part year resident if you were not in the country for  2025 up until December and your home prior to leaving the country was in PA.     The exception would be if you had a home in MA the entire time that you maintained, received your mail, had your drivers license registered too, etc.  In this case, then this would be considered a temporary absence and you would then file as a full year resident of MA if you did not have any other permanent home.  If you are not a US Citizen or Green Card holder, then your time outside of the country may mean you did not meet the substantial presence test.  If this is the case, you may need to file form 1040 NR which TurboTax does not support, but our partner Sprintax.com does.  They would also then be able to help you with your state taxes and what you need to file. 

I used the desktop version and followed the guide from this link: How do I enter a backdoor Roth IRA conversion? It all matches up in part I but part II - 2025 Conversions From Traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs, line 16 shows 7,000 and line 17 shows 7000 and line 18 shows 0. Is this correct? Last year when I filed part II was blank.

You will need to amend the Form 1040 and file Form 1040-NR instead.   TurboTax does not support Form 1040-NR, but we do partner with Sprintax to handle 1040-NR forms.    You can use them to amend the return you filed and generate the correct non-resident return.   Please visit the TurboTax/Sprintax site for more info.
