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.   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?

Your Form 1099-Rs for state taxes paid and for a contribution (money you put into the IRA) are both unusual.    Typically the state taxes generates Form 1099-G and your financial institution will send you a Form 5498 to show your contributions.    I would review each of your two forms to ensure they are both Form 1099-Rs.   If one is Form 1099-G for the state taxes paid, that will be entered in a different section, and could be causing the calculation error.   Additionally, when you contribute to an IRA, that entry is also in a different section (Deductions & Credits).   Form 1099-Rs are for distributions (withdrawals). You stated you did not withdraw anything from your account, so you would not have received Form 1099-R.
I'm still getting the error message. Is there an update to the fix?

I wanted to reply to this, even though the original thread is from three years ago.  I had these same questions yesterday, when I used TurboTax online to prepare my federal, state, and local taxes for 2025.  I am a Kansas City resident who received a W-2 without local withholdings (for 3PSP from Guardian, which is treated as wages) and also had a side gig doing some freelance work over the summer.   I knew from doing my taxes last year that I would need to file a Kansas City Wage Earner return to pay taxes on the wages I earned, so I was not surprised that TurboTax guided me through the RD-109 form.  But it also asked whether I needed to file a Profits return (Form RD-108) for the side gig.  I double-checked the requirements on the Kansas City Finance Department tax forms page before completing those steps.   When I got to the end, TurboTax said that it could e-file my local returns in addition to my federal and state returns for 2025.  I was a bit nervous until I received email confirmations that all of the returns had been accepted.  In addition to the federal and state confirmations, I got an email regarding the RD-109 with the subject Kansas City Tax Filing Accepted and a Kansas City Personal PRT return confirmation with the subject State Return Accepted.  Last year was the first year I filed an RD-109; a few days after I got the email confirmations, I received a letter from the Kansas City Finance Department Revenue Division notifying me of my Wage Earner registration.  I took this as additional proof that the return had been received, but I was not able to see that in the city’s Quick Tax online filing system until I created an account and completed my registration.   TurboTax did ask for my bank account information yesterday, but only in regard to federal and state taxes; it mentioned that vouchers would be printed in order for my local taxes to be paid.  I suppose you could mail a voucher to the Finance Department along with a check, but it is easy to pay with Quick Tax (you don’t even need an account).  I did that last year, and now that I have registered, I can see my payment along with my return status.   Anyway, I hope this helps anyone who may be in a similar situation.  Good luck!

I started using my home office for my business since August 2025, the home office accounts for 11% of the home living area, to my understanding, the correct formula should be total_expense * 11% * portion_of_year_used_for_home_office. However, Turbotax does not seem to factor in the last factor even through I explictly entered the first day used for business and number of month used for more than 15 days. I tried to toggle the date and it does NOT affect the outcome, it seems Turbotax is defaulting the home office for the entire year.

NY doesn't tax retirement income under $20,000.  I don't know if they will tax this, since it is not a normal withdrawal, but it a return of excess.  At worst, NY will tax the gains.  At best, they won't (depending on your other retirement income, of course).  There aren't any other penalties in NY.

On your 2025 return, you must report the Roth contributions.  Turbotax will then say, "you have excess contributions, will you remove them before the tax deadline?"  Answer Yes.   The withdrawn contributions are not taxable, but the gains are taxable, and they are taxable in 2025 since the contribution was for 2025, even though you did not actually get the money until 2026.   Then go to the retirement income section and enter a new 1099-R as if you received one (don't use the "substitute 1099-R" procedure, just pretend you got one.). Enter the total amount of the withdrawal in box 1, and the taxable amount (the gains) in box 2a.  Use codes P and J in box 7.   In January 2027, will get the actual 1099-R for this withdrawal, you will need to enter in on your 2026 return so the IRS computer can match it, but the codes will ensure that the gains are not taxed again.
