No. It would have to be a different email address.

If you received a "Success" message but your data hasn't appeared in TurboTax, it is likely due to recent browser security updates regarding Local Network Access.   To fix this you need to allow TurboTax to securely retrieve your data through your browser settings: Locate the View Site Information icon (the "tune" or "lock" icon) on the far left of your address bar, just before the URL. Find Local Network Access in the dropdown menu. Toggle the switch to ON. Refresh the page and attempt your import again. What do I do when my data isn't imported into TurboTax Desktop even though it says successful import in my browser? If permissions aren't the issue, one of the following factors may be at play: Brokerage Delays: While most forms arrive by January 31, many brokerages delay Consolidated 1099s (like the 1099-B) until mid-February due to complex reporting requirements. Availability: Your brokerage must specifically "release" the import file to TurboTax. If it isn’t ready, we recommend checking back. Connection Blocks: Active VPNs or aggressive Anti-Virus software can occasionally block the import feature between your bank and TurboTax. Try disabling them temporarily or switching to a different browser. Helpful TurboTax Articles: What if I can't import my 1099? How can I fix my 1099 import issue? How do I import my 1099s? How do I enter a large number of stock transactions in TurboTax?

This error hasn't been fixed in 2025 premier Massachusetts.  TT doesn't allow entry of the actual dates of the state withholding to calculate the penalty in form M-2210.  There wasn't a federal penalty so the federal annualization form was never generated.  If the evenly distributed values are overridden subsequent calculations aren't performed (and it can't be filed online).

I guess I'm calling customer service for some refunds. I suggest everyone else impacted by this do the same -- maybe they'll finally get the message. I just don't believe this problem lies with the State of Oregon -- especially absent any kind of official and detailed feedback from Turbo Tax. @AmyC And I just checked again with the Oregon TSU for good measure. They know nothing of this issue -- and insist it's a TurboTax bug. I believe them.
You received an email from TurboTax for the rejected amended return.  It will have the rejection message and rejection code.  What does it say?
What does it say when you look at Where's My Refund for 2024?

I sold some sports event tickets (one time sale) at a profit via Ticketmaster. They sent a 1099-K showing the full amount they received from the buyer including fees. I entered the information from the 1099-K in box 1a and selected the option "This amount in box 1a is too high or includes some personal transactions". This allows me to enter the difference between the box 1a amount and my actual cost. When prompted I entered "I sold some items at a loss or a gain" and entered "0" (this was per information I read on the forum). At the end, during Smart Check, it says to "check this entry" and brings up the "Capital Asset Sales Worksheet". I spent 3 hours on the phone with TurboTax yesterday trying to resolve this and they could not provide a solution. Does anyone else have this situation and how have you resolved it? Thank you.

I received a corrected 1099-r after receiving my Federal tax refund. It involved the GLD etf and monthly expenses reported to the IRS. It shows up as proceeds and cost basis with small cap gains. None of the proceeds are in my account and the 1099-r has a line item called expenses that covers all the proceeds from the expense. I don't believe it affects my return in any way. Should I still file an amended return or let the IRS figure this out since it doesn't affect my income or taxes in any way.

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS releases your refund.    The IRS states that most federal tax refunds are issued within 21 days of acceptance, however, some may take longer if they require additional review. Also, by law, the IRS cannot issue EITC or ACTC refunds before mid-February. This applies to your entire refund, not just the portion related to those specific credits.   Here are a few FAQs to help you track your refund: When will I get my federal tax refund? How do I track my state refund? Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"? Why do some refunds take longer than others? What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

Reduce column B by your HRA amount resulted in a zero PTC for me.  If you get an HRA you should get zero PTC, so it's not proper logic, if someone got say a very small HRA, it might not reduce the PTC to zero, but then you would probably not have taken the HRA and gone for the PTC instead.     Column C is tax credit you already received, while it might also reduce a tax return, it would indicate a PTC you didn't actually get, so really not the right approach.     Intuit really needs to fix this properly, not fudge numbers.  For anyone who doesn't already know you can't have both an HRA and PTC you're going to get tax rebate you're not due, and it will likely catch up with you, especially with the current administration's focus on the issue.

I have a 1099-R for an IRA that has line 1 and line 2a the same amount and 2b checked for Taxable amount not determined.  I used a direct IRA to 501c3 transfer for all the funds in line 1 which the IRS allows as non-taxable Qualified Chartable Deduction (QCD).       Is there a way to modify the 1040 line 4c to show QCD or do I have to file a paper copy to check line 4c for QCD?

You're not required to use the Estimated Payment Vouchers to submit your estimated payment.  You can pay directly on the IRS website, or just mail a check with your payment with your SSN on it.  However, they will still accept your payment with the 'do not file' on the voucher.   Try opening your return and save a PDF copy and see if the 1040-ES now prints for you without the note (it should).  Make sure your program is updated through the ONLINE link.   @tangoseattle
