Near the end of your state interview, TurboTax should realize that you owe state tax. Are you sure that you owe Oregon more than $1,000? If you owe less, then the whole underpayment process won't appear.   If, by this point, you owe Oregon more than $1,000, on the screen "A few things before we wrap up your state taxes", look at subheading, "Other situations". Go down to "Underpayment Interest (Form 10)". Going through this sub interview while allow you to make the entries that you want.   If you don't see this entry to Underpayment Interest, then something about your return is blocking it.   For example, 1. Is your OR tax due less than $1,000? 2. Was the OR tax paid in 2024 greater than the tax due in 2025? 3. On the screen for "Underpayment of Estimated Tax Exceptions", you clicked on one of the exceptions to owing any underpayment penalty.  

You do not say where you are seeing or getting the date that your refund is "supposed" to be deposited.     TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.      First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.     You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2025 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds   To track your state refund:     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr   If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refunds-take-longer-others/L14YlqFrH_US_en_US?uid=lexdr7zh . https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/irs-refund-taking-longer-21-days/L2vRAJbdU_US_en_US?uid=lexe7lst         If you are getting earned income credit on line 27 or additional child tax credit on line 28 You are subject to the delay required by the PATH act.  Do not expect your refund before early March   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/federal-refunds-delayed-due-path-act/L5jnQJsBi_US_en_US   Note:  “Accepted” is not the same as “approved”.  TurboTax tells you the e-file was accepted if the IRS deems that there is enough information on the return for them to take it in for processing.   Only the IRS can approve of the refund, which is a later stage of processing.  If the IRS approves your refund they will provide a date for the refund to be issued.   FROM THE IRS WHERE’S MY REFUND SITE: https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund How it works Where's My Refund shows your refund status: Return Received – We received your return and are processing it. Refund Approved – We approved your refund and are preparing to issue it by the date shown. Refund Sent – We sent the refund to your bank or to you in the mail. It may take 5 days for it to show in your bank account or several weeks for your check to arrive in the mail.    

Clear your return and start over? That feels unnecessary and punitive. If a customer hasn’t paid yet, they should be able to switch products without losing their work. Requiring people to start over creates pressure to stick with a more expensive option simply to avoid wasting their time. That’s not a great customer experience.

You can just use the one that IRS has.  Do you know the figure in the IRS database?  Did you call them?  You can call Turbotax at 800-446-8848.  Call early or there is a long wait time.  It's best to go through Help in the program.  If you choose that none of the topics is relevant, they will give you case # .  Then when you call it will recognise that number from your phone # and the wait will be shorter.  But still call early.  

Just the non-custodial parent attaches Form 8332 to their income tax return. The non-custodial parent would file as single if not married. They could not be a Head of Household since the child did not live with them.
