Have you moved in the past few years?  Are you filling for more than one state?   If so see my previous posts in this thread on how I got around it. You might need to update your billing and address info on Intuit account (parent company; not just turbo tax).

For the California tax return, Form 3514 (Earned Income Tax Credit), the business code required is typically the 6-digit NAICS code found on your federal Schedule C, K-1, or farm income schedule.    If no specific business code is available, users often enter "999999" or "0000" to bypass the requirement if prompted by software.   

You need TurboTax Business, which is different than TurboTax Home & Business.   See https://turbotax.intuit.com/small-business-taxes/cd-download   You can also get assistance from Intuit in preparing your 1065 (recommended if this is the first time you've filed a 1065).

i overrode the figure with the erroneous deduction and put in 2500 which is max allowed. went through checks several times and turbotax keeps wanting me to put the wrong large deduction. i already filed my federal and paid to efile the state but when i was efiling it wouldn't allow me to do it ( after i paid the fee) because of the override. so i printed the state return to planning to mail it in. when i was figuring out where to mail it, our state taxpayer access portal recommneded efiling directly on their site. i put in the numbers on the online NM PIT form and completed my return that way. btw, i am still awaiting confirmation that my state efiling fee will be refunded.   prior to giving up on turbotax for the NM state return i called turbotax support and the last guys advice was just to "consult a tax professional". huh? i was asking about them fixing the deduction as well as an error in a line 38 of the form which should equal the total of lines 33, 34  and 36 i think. i changed it to the right total but the program didn't like being overridden. like the other 2 people i asked for help he wasn't aware of any pending update to the NM return. software. please correct this issue on the software.

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.    Sometimes—not always— the IRS corrects your mistakes, while they are processing your return.    If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed   The Form 1040X is scheduled to be available on February 19.   The date is subject to change, so check on 2-19 to see if it is ready.   Before that, do not change anything at all on your return.

IDENTITY PIN   https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/retrieve-your-ip-pin   If you have a 6 digit PIN issued to you by the IRS you need to enter it in order to e-file.  Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Return Info>Identity Protection PIN and enter the six-digit PIN.    

thanks, to clarify it is just a standard four year undergraduate degree just happens to be in another country.  Child is on parent's tax return as dependent and this is their return to report summer jobs.  I appreciate your help.  Let me know if you need more clarification.

Can the company also send you a statement for December 2021 to December 2022? Then you could calculate the amount for calendar year 2022. Check to be sure they are not tracking from December 31 one year to the next.   If you can't get a correct statement, then reconstruct your 2022 winnings from your records.    You must report all gambling winnings on Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR (use Schedule 1 (Form 1040) PDF), including winnings that aren't reported on a Form W-2G    See this IRS webpage for more information.  

Was the return accepted? Did you e-file?   Did you go through all three steps of the FILE section and click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”     When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted  or rejected your federal e-file.  If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.   Check your e-file status:   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/    What does it say in your account?  Does it show that the return was accepted?   Or does it say something else---like "rejected," "printed," or "ready to mail?”   If you discover or realize that your e-file was rejected, or just never filed, you will need to print it, sign and date it in ink, and file it by mail now, since e-filing is closed for returns for tax year 2024.       If the return was accepted, then what does it say on the IRS refund site: You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds  

The effective tax rate is more of a 'blended tax rate', as some of your income is taxed at different rates, so it's an 'average.'   Here's more detailed info on Effective Tax Rate.   @Billy213
