Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted? Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".   After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.   Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.   To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product. If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...   After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

These premiums are not taxable on the federal return but I have not yet found a California reference.   My guess is that if the programs are mandatory (as HIPP/HIPP programs often are, to reduce state Medicaid costs), that the reimbursed premiums would not be taxable in CA.   Of course, you cannot use this amount as a medical deduction on your return.

 Which operating system are you using, Windows or Mac?  I am using TurboTax for Windows with the latest update.  Version 25.000.0271 On that screen just below the box for Nonqualified pension plan not on my W-2 isNontaxable Medicaid waiver payments that qualify as difficulty of care payments on my TurboTax Premier edition.      @Happiest_Taxpayer

One of the important things to remember about the energy credit on form 5695 is that it is a non-refundable credit.  In order to use it you have to have a tax bill at least as big as the credit amount.  In addition the home energy credit does not roll over to next year.  So it is a use it or lose it proposition.     Take a look at your form 1040 on line 16 and make sure that the number that is there is greater than the amount of the credit that you are trying to take.  If not then the amount on line 16 is the maximum amount of the credit that you are entitled to.

at least for me, who posted this original question, the deprecation and amortization function came online on 2/19 for turbotax online with CA as state.  if you are not seeing it, I'm told that clearing your cache in your browser (assuming online version) can help.  And calling Intuit directly for more input if you are having trouble.
