TurboTax can only give you an estimate for when the tax refund will be issued.   Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.   If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds If accepted by the state 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_...   After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

The OBBBA provisions for Section 179 increased the maximum deduction and phaseout thresholds, which have been implemented in TurboTax.

The software will choose whichever deduction (standard or itemized) results in the lowest federal tax. If your refund is the same either way, it usually means your taxable income is already zero, so itemizing doesn’t change your federal result. Also, medical expenses are only deductible to the extent they exceed 7.5% of your AGI,and there is no federal carryforward of excess medical expenses. For your state return, the rules can be different. Many states either require you to follow the federal deduction choice or have their own standard/itemized rules, and some allow medical expenses without the same 7.5% AGI limitation or calculation method. Check your state’s Department of Revenue website for its specific deduction rules, since state treatment is controlled by state law, not IRS rules.

They use a third-party banking has no brick and order building to go to or contact information that is valid to speak to someone and their automated number that TurboTax gives you is a dead end number. Can’t get past the first part there is no records of our information in your third-party banking

To confirm that you filed your taxes:   Sign in to TurboTax,  Select Tax Home You can view your current status  (e.g., Pending, Accepted, or Rejected).  If you don't see one of these status notations, you have not filed your tax return.

No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/contact-turbotax/L2y9ZKpQB_US_en_US?uid=m5s9l2vh @ej_niemi

It depends what type of 1099 the person had.    If they received a Form 1099-NEC, this stands for "Non-Employee Compensation." By default, the IRS (and TurboTax) assumes this is self-employment income, which requires a Schedule C.   If they received a Form 1099-MISC, this is for "Other Income." This often does not require a Schedule C unless it's related to a trade or business. If this was the type of 1099 received, revisit the informational interview for the 1099-MISC.  Certain answers will trigger the Schedule C, such as indicating the 1099 was received for work like a main job, received the income over more than the current year, or it involved the intent to earn money.  Correct any answers that aren't accurate to remove the Schedule C, or continue with the Schedule C if this 1099 is a business.   Here is an article you may find helpful: Am I considered self-employed?
