Could be, but where did you get the date?  Was it from the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool? https://www.irs.gov/refunds Does that tool say the refund has been sent?   The IRS also says to allow up to 5 days due to variations in bank processing times. If the date of 3/7 was from what TurboTax displayed in your account, that is just an estimate.   If the delay continues for a while, you should also check to be sure you provided your correct bank account and routing number.  Or phone your bank and ask their ACH department if they can tell if they refused a deposit.

The line it's on goes by the little IRA box between boxes 7&8.  If that is checked it goes on line 4 with IRAs.  If that box is missing or not checked then it goes on line 5 with pensions.  Only 1099Rs FROM an IRA go on line 4.  Everything else goes on line 5.

I followed this information:   To calculate and view next year's estimated taxes on TurboTax Online, follow these steps:    Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal. Down the left side of the screen, click on Other tax situations. Click the down arrow to the right of Other tax forms. Click to the right of For W-4 and estimated taxes. I have all self-employment income.   When I get to the part where it asks "Would you like us to copy your current year Schedule C info to next year?" I answer "yes" and "continue".   Nothing is copied. It wants me to manually enter every piece of information...   My notes from last year show that it worked then.

To enter Federal or State Estimated Taxes Paid, including a state estimated payment made in January for the prior year, go to Federal on left or at top (Personal for Home & Business) Deductions and Credits Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid Estimates - click the Start or Update button For a state estimated payment made in Jan 2025 for the prior year, go to 2024 state estimated taxes paid in 2025.   I read a post that you may have to expand or go to Other common situations. Or maybe uncommon situations. Or look for More Tax Breaks.

I don’t think there is a fix yet. Are you getting your taxes rejected by the IRS? If so, they should be telling you which form is the problem. Usually it’s form 5695. My taxes were eventually accepted but after several weeks I received a letter in the mail from the IRS and now I’m working with them through IRS.gov/connect to try to get this pushed through. It’s a slow and frustrating process that should be a simple fix. Good luck.

@JamesG1 Not sure I follow: "You would enter the box 1 income in one pass.  Then enter the box 2 income in the second pass." I'm assuming you are stating I have to select this box and add the same K1 again but not enter the partner's share in the second K1

You not have to enter the EIN for the bank in most cases. Enter the interest as if you got a 1099-INT, but only enter the name of the bank and the amount of interest. Leave everything else blank. There may be a few states that require the EIN, in which case you will have to use JamesG1's method.

You report a QCD in the 1099-R entry section.   After entering the 1099-R details, there are a series of screens with questions about the distribution.  You need to go through all the screens/questions. Do not exit the 1099-R entry section before answering all the questions. When asked "Did you transfer all or part of this money directly to charity?", select Yes. Enter the exact amount of the distribution that was transferred directly to the charity. TurboTax will report the full distribution on Form 1040, Line 4a, but will not include the QCD portion in the taxable amount on Line 4b.   A direct transfer of funds from your IRA custodian, payable to a qualified charity is referred to as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).  QCDs can be counted toward satisfying your required minimum distributions (RMDs) for the year, as long as certain rules are met.  While the QCD amount is not taxed, you may not then claim the distribution as a charitable tax deduction.   Here are the requirements for making QCDs: You must be 70½ or older to be eligible to make a QCD. QCDs are limited to the amount that would otherwise be taxed as ordinary income. This excludes non-deductible contributions. The maximum annual amount that can qualify for a QCD is $108,000. This applies to the sum of QCDs made to one or more charities in a calendar year. (If, however, you file taxes jointly, your spouse can also make a QCD from his or her own IRA within the same tax year for up to $108,000.) For a QCD to count towards your current year's RMD, the funds must come out of your IRA by your RMD deadline, generally December 31. Any amount donated above your RMD does not count toward satisfying a future year's RMD. Funds distributed directly to you, the IRA owner, and which you then give to charity do not qualify as a QCD.

I have a similar problem. I have gone to the section you specified. I have no W-2s, it's al self-employment income.    There is an option to "Copy current year Schedule C information to next year". I choose "Yes" and Continue.   Absoltuely nothing is copied, and it wants me to manually enter every piece of info.   It seems a bug. My notes from last year indicate it worked then.
You should not have to add any dashes to EINs or other tax identification numbers such as social security.  The fields are formatted to add them.

Is the loan secured by your home? If not, you cannot deduct the interest. See the definition of Secured Debt in IRS Publication 936. You are correct that mortgage interest that was not reported on Form 1098 has to be entered on Schedule A line 8b. The entry can only be made in forms mode. That means there is no way to make the entry in TurboTax Online. Forms mode is only available in the TurboTax Desktop software, not in TurboTax Online. In forms mode, enter the interest directly on Schedule A line 8b. Do not use the Home Mortgage Interest Worksheet. But when you enter it this way, TurboTax will not calculate any limits that might apply to the deduction. See "Part II. Limits on Home Mortgage Interest Deduction" in IRS Publication 936 to see if any limits apply to your deduction. Whatever the situation is, keep in mind that you cannot deduct your entire mortgage payment. You can deduct only the portion of the payment that is interest. Note that mortgage interest is an itemized deduction. It will not make any difference in your tax or your refund unless your total itemized deductions are more than your standard deduction.
