We'd love to help you complete your tax return, but need more information. Can you please clarify your question?   If you need to fix a reject here's how you can fix it:  Sign in to your account and select the Fix my return button. Follow any “fix it” instructions to update the information causing the rejection.    Note: Not all rejections will have explicit guides to fix the information. You’ll need to navigate to the program area to address the cause of the rejection.    Time-saving Tip: If what you originally entered is correct, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, a dependent that's already been claimed, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return. This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.    Additional reject instruction here.

When you call them, press 2, then 4, then 2.  Good luck actually getting through to someone. It took me 15 tries to finally get through.    However, I spoke with some at Turbo Tax just a few minutes ago, and hands down she was the most helpful person thus far.  She confirmed that the IRS did release my refund on the 18th to the account number the IRS gave me, and that it releases for deposit today, so I could receive my deposit at anytime yet today. If tomorrow morning comes and still no deposit, then she said to call back and we can track it. 

In the 2025 TT app for Mac desktop, the exempt-interest dividends from other states are properly included in the 1099-DIVs with AZ's amount defined and Multiple States for the balance of the total, yet those amounts don't automatically roll over to the AZ Form 140. I manually added it to the Explanation Form, but then had to override the amount to account for that total on Line 15, too.   Seems to be a bug. Thoughts?

2026 because the items weren't sent until that year. If $250-$500, the Charity should have sent a written acknowledgment. more stringent rules if  over $500 and even different rules if $5000 or more.    12/31 is the worst date to do tax mitigation when a third-party is involved. Often something goes wrong. Usually, this happens when taxpayers try to take RMDs (sometimes even a few days earlier). The funds aren't transferred out until the next year, which means the taxpayer failed to take the RMD for that year. However, at least for RMDs, corrective action can be taken.
