I had no mortgage loan and no mortgage interest of any kind to report, either for my primary home or for any other property. I made no entries in TurboTax related to any mortgage loan or any deduction for mortgage interest.

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS releases your refund.    The IRS states that most federal tax refunds are issued within 21 days of acceptance, however, some may take longer if they require additional review. Also, by law, the IRS cannot issue EITC or ACTC refunds before mid-February. This applies to your entire refund, not just the portion related to those specific credits.   Your refund could be offset. The IRS and State Governments have the ability to offset a refund to pay for certain past due debts.  You generally will receive a letter stating what the offset was for.    The IRS provides a toll-free number, (800) 304-3107, to call for information about tax offsets.   Here are a few FAQs to help you track your refund: When will I get my federal tax refund? How do I track my state refund? Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"? Why do some refunds take longer than others? What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities,  There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals.  Some states process returns quickly and some are very slow.   STATE RETURN Make sure your state return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   To track your state refund:       ttps://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0

TurboTax could be modified to ask about deductible contributions made in or after the year one reaches age 70½, but I suspect that that would create a lot of question by those who do not know the law.  TurboTax tracking basis in these deductible contributions would require much more, similar to what is done for nondeductible traditional IRA contributions.   "I’ve found that Turbo Tax doesn’t automatically create a Form 8606 each year when my prior year forms are in the system. "   This is correct behavior.  The IRS wants Form 8606 included in your tax return only if reporting one  or more of the transaction that instructions for Form 8606 indicate are required to be reported on this form.  With nothing new to report, your last-filed Form 8606 is still current.  For your own yearly tracking you can refer to TurboTax's IRA Information Worksheet (which each year you should check to verify that it still has the correct information).

That $200 check was likely the NYS Inflation Refund (also called the Supplemental Tax Credit) sent out in late 2025. The IRS and NYS have specific rules for these "one-time" checks:   The $200 is NOT taxable by New York State. You do not owe NYS any tax on this money. On the federal level,  if you took the Standard Deduction in 2024:  The $200 is NOT taxable. You can likely skip the amendment entirely. Most taxpayers fall into this category. If you Itemized Deductions (Schedule A) in 2023: It is taxable federally because you received a "tax benefit" from deducting your state taxes previously. You will need to file an amended return only if you met the third condition mentioned. if this is the case, report this as other income.   Go to Federal > Wages & Income. Find State and Local Tax Refunds (1099-G). Enter the $200. When it asks for the Tax Year, select 2023 (since the check was based on your 2023 eligibility). When TurboTax asks, "Does either apply to your 2023 New York return?"—select NO. Choosing "No" might seem unusual, but it lets the software know this is a "Special Payment," not a regular refund. This way, it’s included in your Federal Income and automatically subtracted on your New York state return.   If you have already filed and realized you definitely need to report this (as an itemizer):   Wait until your original return is fully processed and you have received your refund (or paid your balance). Open your tax file in TurboTax and select "Amend a filed return." Follow the steps above to add the 1099-G. The software will generate Form 1040-X. If working in the desktop version,    Go to federal>other tax situations Other tax forms Amend a return
