The only reason you would have to list a state would be if you were filing a state return and there was income from a security in that state, it may be exempt from tax on that state's tax return. It won't affect your federal tax return, so you could choose any state and assign all of the income to that state.

Manual entry of a 1099-DA in TurboTax Desktop is fairly easy and straightforward.   Choose Add Investments > Skip Import > Digital Assets.  Enter service name, use 'Sales Section Totals' for a large number of transactions.   @minifleesd     

I suggest you look for a Schedule F in your program, that would be for reporting farming income. If you find it, you can delete the form and that may resolve your issue. Use the Forms menu option to bring up the list of forms. If you don't find it and you don't see any red exclamation marks next to any of the forms, schedules and worksheets in the list, then you can ignore the message regarding farm income.

If it has been eight weeks that means you filed before the IRS even began to accept e-files.   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.

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted? Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".   After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.   Note - 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.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.   To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product. 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.

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities,  There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals.  Some states process returns quickly and some are very slow.   STATE RETURN Make sure your state return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   To track your state refund:       ttps://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0

I don't know.  I've had it bookmarked for a long time.  Actually I was using it on my iPad and couldn't find it on my Windows Desktop.  But I finally got tired of the old regular search so I copied the link from my iPad.     Now another thing....after you get the search results, if you want to see a post but don't want to lose that search, do a Right Click on the post to see and open it in another tab.  Then you can go back to the search results.  If you do a regular left click on one then when you go back it takes you to the old search layout.  

> TurboTax Business has boxes for the actual payment date of estimated taxes, > which we filled with the dates actually paid. E-filing was stopped dead by those dates, > stating that the date had to be on or before the due dates. > Why does accurate late payment information defeat e-filing? I don't know, but this still (six years later!) remains true. It seems that if an estimated Federal estimated tax payment was late, TurboTax won't let you e-file the Federal (or California!!!) returns, and you have to file both by mail. [ CONJECTURE: it is possible that the problem isn't on the TurboTax end - it is possible that the IRS and California FTB both reject e-files with late estimated tax payments - if so, it isn't TurboTax's fault.]   I spent nine minutes on the phone with TurboTax support on this issue, and they had no workaround I was comfortable with. If I tell TurboTax I made that estimated tax payment on time, knowing full well I didn't, I am explicitly and knowingly committing perjury, since in order to E-file, I must sign "under penalty of perjury" on 8453-FE that "the accompanying schedules and statements" were correct. Additionally, the IRS will flag the inconsistency, since the e-filing includes the EFTPS confirmation number, making it trivial for the IRS computers to flag that the payment date in the E-filing doesn't match their records. In addition, Turbotax immediately removes the late payment penalty when I tell it I paid on time, so the IRS will also see that I am requesting a refund that I'm not owed.  I suppose I could put in the correct penalty by override, but still. BASIS FOR MY STATEMENTS: The specifics of my case today (March 5, 2026): I'm using TurboTax Business Desktop to prepare Federal form 1041 and state (California - 541) returns for a trust.  My EFTPS 2025 Q1 estimated tax payment (1041-ES) was paid late by EFTPS (due date: 4/15/2025, actual payment settled 5/30/2025).    When (in "Step by Step") I told TurboTax I made that estimated tax payment by EFTPS, TurboTax said I needed to provide it: - the actual settlement date (which was after the 4/15/2025 deadline) - the payment amount - the payment method (EFTPS in my case) - the last 4 digits of the bank account used - the full EFTPS confirmation number for that payment Looking at the "Tax Payments Worksheet" in "Forms" view in TurboTax, it says the last four items are required for E-filing. So, presumably, TurboTax sends those details to the IRS when you e-file. And since TurboTax refuses to E-file if the date is late, presumably the date is transmitted as well.  TurboTax didn't complain when I told it that the Q1 1041-ES payment was made on 5/30/2025 - it simply calculated a $25 underpayment penalty and added it to what I owed. I reviewed the underpayment calculation, and it seems correct to me. TurboTax "Federal Review" and "State Review" didn't flag this as an issue - they said everything was fine. It wasn't until the very final e-filing step, after I'd signed and attached Form 8453-FE, when I clicked on the "once you click this E-file button, it is just like dropping it in the mail" button, Turbotax all of a sudden said - wait - your settlement date for the Q1 estimated can't be later than the due date - you'll need to file by mail. Not only would TurboTax Business not let let me e-file the Federal 1041, it wouldn't let me e-file the California 541, either, even though all California payments were timely.
