Well it's 2:30 PM on the day that Intuit said a bug fix would be published. Nothing. Hopefully Intuit gets this fixed as it would be quite the shame if Intuit was targeted in a class-action lawsuit filed by 2025 Weil McLain buyers who couldn't get the $600.00 credit because of Intuit's negligence. 

You are entering that it was BASED on 2023, not that you RECIEVED it in 2025.    You only report the income you RECEIVED in 2025 on your 2025 Federal Return.    You enter that it was FOR 2023, because 1. The inflation Rebate is based on your 2023 income 2. If you have a state refund for tax year 2024, you can enter that 1099-G without it being added to the Infraction Rebate amount.    The 1099-G for the New York State Inflation Refund Check can be entered as a New York State refund in the TurboTax program. Income Other Common Income State and Local Tax Refunds on Form 1099-G   START or UPDATE Select the "Tax return year" on the "Tell us about the refund you received in 2025" as TAX YEAR 2023 Enter zero for "Payments and Withholding" Enter the amount that you received which is reported on that 1099-G Select NO for the "Let's check if your 2023 New York refund is taxable" screen Once the NO radio button is selected a drop-down opens and you can enter the taxable amount which is the full amount reported on that 1099-G. If you also receive a 1099-G for a 2024 state tax refund, that can be entered separately from this 1099-G.  You will attribute the "inflation refund" check to tax year 2023 and the State refund (if you received one) to tax year 2024.   This is the first year New York has issued a payment like this. There is no one dedicated screen to enter this 1099-G in the TurboTax program. Technically the New York State Inflation Refund Check is NOT a refund of tax. It is similar to an Earned Income Credit in so far as it is based on the Taxpayer's income, in this case their 2023 income, regardless of whether they itemized or used the standard deduction. It is not taxable on the state return, but is taxable on your federal return. Some answers you give the program are answers to make the program put the numbers where they need to go, they are not answers that are transmitted to the IRS. The amount of the New York State Inflation Refund Check will be reported on Schedule 1. The total on Schedule 1 is carried forward to Form 1040 line 8.     Here is a link explaining the New York State Inflation Refund Check Here is a link explaining the federal taxability of the check

No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/contact-turbotax/L2y9ZKpQB_US_en_US?uid=m5s9l2vh

I called Turbo Tax today and was told if you didn’t itemize this year or in 2023, and took the standard deduction, you don’t need to add the inflation check anywhere.  He said you only need to list it if you itemize.  I wish they’d release official information on this.

I figured out the problem -- it is the way "MAGI" is determined.  The MAGI for the Senior Refund uses as different formula than the MAGI used for Medicare.  I was using the Medicare formula.  My mistake.

Check the IRS 'Where's My Refund?' tool for the status of your 2023 return.  You may can contact them at 1-800-829-1040.  You may need to initiate a trace if it has been lost or delayed.    @Mwsnatch 

I guess you had it right when you started with opening by saying you don't understand. 🙂   I'm not exactly losing sleep over it either, but it is at best annoying that it is unreasonably delayed, combined with poor information from the company.   Often people have good reasons to want to get their tax return filed ASAP, that might not be on your radar. Beyond getting a refund, there is minimizing the risk of identity theft, also just getting it over with as soon as the statements arrive because of impending surgery or travel or both.   Now we have both enjoyed and suffered with TurboTax since 2007, and it's pretty hard to change, but eventually there will be a straw that might send us to H&R Block instead...

You can find your 1099 for the rebate (If you got one) at this link.   ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE LINK     The requirements were:   "If you are an Arizona resident, you meet the criteria if you: Filed an Arizona full-year resident personal income tax return for tax year 2021; Claimed at least one dependent tax credit on your tax year 2021 return; Filed your 2021 tax year Arizona personal income tax return as the only taxpayer on your single, married filing separate, or Head of Household return, or as the primary or first-listed taxpayer, if you filed a married filing jointly return; and Had at least $1 in Arizona personal income tax liability in tax year 2021, 2020, or 2019."   If you don't meet the requirements listed above, you did not get the rebate. 

Having same issue on Weil-McLain QMID code. The code per others and the Company is 46H2. Turbotax will not accept it saying it has to be Letter-Number-Letter-Number...but that is not correct. Can this bug please be fixed. Looks like it's been out there for 3 weeks. 

Are you sure it was from your 401K?  The plan wouldn't let you do that.  Or was it from a 401k that you had rolled over to a IRA?   For a QCD, check 1040 line 4b. It should be 0 (unless you have other taxable 1099Rs) and the QCD box checked. The code in box 7 of form 1099-R must be 7 and the box IRA/SEP/SIMPLE must be checked. You can’t do a QCD from a 401K.   If you are over 70 1/2 then after you enter the 1099R keep going though the  followup screens.  TurboTax will ask you if any portion of your distribution was transferred to charity. You can then enter the amount transferred to charity.
