1. You need to create a fake federal return as MFS to create the KY return you need to file.  If you want to create another online account, you will need to use a different email to create it. We recommend using the desktop version because it allows you to create up to 5 federal returns- the state does cost extra. Since you have already filed, you may want to continue with online. 2. Your spouse is not a KY resident and has no KY income, so there is no need to file.

The Recipient is the person listed on Line 4 of Form 1095-A (Recipient's Name).   The information from Form 1095-A is entered in TurboTax here: Deductions & Credits>Health Insurance Marketplace (Form 1095-A)

You'll report them as stock trades as though you had received them on a 1099-B.  Scroll down in the 'Wages and Income' section of your federal return and go to 'Investment Income' and click 'start' next to the 1099-B and use all of the information that is on the events contracts statement to fill out the form as though you received a 1099-B.

Sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:   Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu. Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website. Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms. Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit." Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.   Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.

You can confirm that you used the "Pay with my Refund" in TurboTax by checking your "Order Summary" for a $0 balance. It will also show a "Paid" status.
