You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places. Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

If you have no errors in Review and your tax forms look correct, I would suggest you skip the Review and go directly to State Taxes/File.

It says "NYS does not allow the description selected for the NY public employee retirement contribution code entered (ERS, NYRET, RET, NYSERS). To e-file successfully you must choose either NY IRC 414H Subject to NY tax or NY IRC 414H NY tax exempt from the picklist." But I am not a NY public employee so I don't think either of these options apply.

Was a worksheet or the tax table checked on your Tax Smart Worksheet? Print or view your tax return, specifically the Form 1040 worksheet (1040/1040SR Wks). Scroll down about a third of the way, below line 15, you will find the Tax Smart Worksheet. Line A will tell you whether you used the tax table or what worksheet(s) you need to refer to to see your tax computation.

Yes, adding solar panels, a pool, and a patio are considered to be capital improvements (permanent improvements) because they increase the value of your home and prolong it's life. These costs are added to your home's cost basis, which reduces any potential capital gains taxes when you sell your house.
The formula is: Original Purchase Price + Cost of Improvements = Adjusted Basis.
When you make a home improvement, you can't deduct the cost in the year you pay for the improvements, but, if you keep track of those expenses, they can help you reduce your taxes in the year that you sell your house.
For tax purposes, you would treat these expenses as increases to your cost basis of your home. You would add together the total cost of the solar panels, pool, and patio (materials + labor).
Keep all receipts, invoices, and records of payment for your tax records when you sell your house.

In 2025, I overcontributed $714 to my Roth IRA. I've recharacterized this overcontribution to a traditional IRA and am not completely sure how to report this correctly in Turbotax. I have two questions: - Where it says to "Enter your regular Roth IRA contributions", am I supposed to I enter my total 2025 contributions including the overage ($8714), or do I enter the maximum total amount I should've contributed ($8000)? - Where it asks, "How much of your contribution to this Roth IRA did you switch, or "recharacterize", to your traditional IRA?", I'm assuming that I'm supposed to report the overcontribution ($714) and then explain the recharacterization reason. Is this correct? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

I have found similar questions but not exact to my situation. In 2024 I made a 4th qtr state (SC) tax payment of $7000. I entered it in 2024 TT as a 4th quarter payment made on 1/15/2025. This rolled up with my state withholdings to give a total taxes paid in for 2024 of $35,209 including the 4th qtr estimated payment. Due to an employer error I ended up with a large refund of $7902 paid in 2025. On the State and Local Income Tax Refund Worksheet Sch 1 Line 1 2025, in Part 1, line 1 it shows (b) the correct 2024 refund amount of $7902, it shows the correct Estimated Tax Paid after 12/31/2024 (c) of $7000, it shows Total Payments and Witholdings (e) of $35,209 which is correct and finally, it shows Refund Allocated to Column (C) in column (f) of $1571. I can't tie the $1571 number back to anything so I don't know how it is calculated. More importantly, the $1571 appears on line 3 as a portion of the refund allocated to tax paid after 12/31/2024 which flows to Sch A line 5a. It seems like I am double dipping on the credit. I don't understand why the Line 1 (c) " Estimated tax paid after 12/31/2024" is impacting 2025? Is there a credit due on $902 ($7902 refund - $7000 est. tax pmt) of real taxes paid in 2025 that were not itemized in 2024?

The reason TurboTax checks Form 8949 by default is because most taxpayers that are required to mail Form 8453 are doing so due to summary sales reporting and need to mail Form 8949 with Form 8453 (cover page) with their transaction detail.
You're right; in your situation you wouldn't need to mail in either Form 8453 or Form 8949 with no summary reporting. This is the first I've heard of this issue, but I will report it.

@ahmadka2 you are not alone. I had the exact same behavior this evening. When on the "Great job getting through your federal taxes" page and AI summary on the right, I owed $1560 in federal taxes. When I clicked through the 'federal review' screen, taxes owed went up to $2,626. I had already inputted my income and deductions fully. I cannot explain it and now I'm frustrated because I don't know if it's right. To add, this is my second time through. I completely wiped and restarted. Now I wish I would have just clicked the 'Review' section and skip the State taxes section as I'm in Texas.
