No one can see your screen or your tax return.   We do not know when your federal refund dropped or what you are looking at.   Did the refund drop as you were preparing the return?   Did you see a message on the IRS site that shows a lower amount?   Did you receive a lower refund?

@hledwards24  The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/25/2026   You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return. If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again. If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

@guamcvey  Go back to My Info on the left side of the online program screen. Edit the dependent and carefully check your answers to the questions. Note - A child born in 2025 is deemed to have lived in your home for the entire year. Make sure you select them as your Child, that you selected that they lived in your home for the Whole Year, temporary absence for education is deemed living in your home. That they did NOT provide over one-half of their own support (You Did), that you indicated there was no one else in the household providing support to them, and that you did NOT check the box labeled Not valid for employment in the Social Security number section.   If all your answers are correct then delete them as a dependent and re-enter.

I received the message that the Depreciation tables have been loaded. However, they are not showing up on my return. However do. Get my depreciation information for my rental properties added to my return?

If you have already removed the Roth contribution (plus the earnings on the contribution) from your account, you can remove the entry in TurboTax for the Roth contribution as there is no tax consequence for removing the contribution prior to the filing deadline.   You should report the earnings on the contribution this year.  You can create a 1099-R in TurboTax and  report the earnings you received in Box 1 and box 2a.  You will enter codes P and J for box 7.  After you enter that information, you will get a screen asking for the year of the 1099-R - it will be for 2026.  These earnings will not be subject to the 10% penalty, so in the "These situations may lower your tax bill", you can enter the earnings as "Corrective distributions made before the due date of return".  On a later screen called "Explain the return of contribution" you can put in a statement that you were not eligible for a Roth IRA contributions for 2025 and that you removed the contribution and earnings.   Edited 3/18/26, 9:31 AM PDT, @user17711654561, @srtadi, @sjacobs6, @CRTX   

Is the amount sent/issued by the IRS the same as the refund amount shown on your federal tax return Form 1040 Line 35a? - https://www.irs.gov/refunds If not, then go to this IRS website for information on reduced refunds - https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc203 Are you also receiving a state tax refund? If so, the state refund is sent directly to you based on how you chose to receive the state tax refund, it does not go through the third party processor. 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_US_en_US?uid=m7ulm2n7 Have you factored in the TurboTax account fees and the TPG service charge of $40 plus any applicable sales tax? Review your TurboTax account fees - Sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/ Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on View Order Details   If you requested to have the TurboTax account fees deducted from your federal tax refund, the IRS will send the refund to a third party processor to have the fees and the $40 service charge deducted. The third party processor will deduct the TurboTax fees plus the $40 service charge and then attempt to direct deposit the remaining refund balance into the account that you entered on your tax return. For the status of your tax refund you will need to contact the third party processor, Santa Barbara Tax Product Group, using their website - https://www.sbtpg.com/ Tax Products Group Contact Information - https://help.sbtpg.com/hc/en-us/articles/230084587-Contact-Information Call 1-877-908-7228 Or email - TPG-CSsupport@greendotcorp.com

This issue was not resolved with the 2/19 release.   I have non residential / commercial real estate that was place in service in 2007.  Last year Turbo Tax Business allowed me to take the 100% / 50% Special Depreciation Allowance by checking that box within TurboTax.  However this year, it will not allow me to check that box.  Is this due to an error in last years TurboTax, or is the error in the current year Turbo tax?  Please respond to this specific question.  

Thank you for the reply.  The updates did not change anything on the South Carolina.  The way the current program operates is incorrect (by any standard).  It is only allowing a federal itemized deduction (after state add backs and federal phase outs) of $10,000.  That deduction amount appears nowhere in the SC State Statutes and is clearly a quality control programming issue with Turbo Tax.  With that said, I do not understand why Turbo Tax is waiting to correct this obvious error in the program and potentially letting people file their returns paying too much SC tax.  I started calling TT two weeks ago, I have had brief conversations with two agents with those calls being dropped; I have had a longer conversation with another agent who said I would receive a call from an expert (still waiting for that) and on this thread I was provided with an inaccurate response (from RogerD1) stating that my SC deduction is limited to the pre OBBBA SALT deduction of $10,000 - when SC does not allow SALT deductions!  This delay is inexcusable.  Happy to have a call to discuss this; TT has my telephone number on my profile.

I contributed $7000 for 2024 and $7000 for 2025 in April of 2025 to a traditional IRA.  It was then converted to a Roth IRA thru the backdoor method.  I should only be taxed on the 979.00 that was gained after moving over but the tax software keeps showing 7,979 as taxable income.  How do I fix this?
