All sources is your total income, and Delaware source is income from Delaware.  Pensions are only taxed by your resident state at the time you receive the distribution, regardless of the payor where you worked when you earned the pension, so you would not enter it as Delaware source.  If you had no other Delaware income, you would not be required to file a Delaware nonresident return, unless you had Delaware tax withholdings.

TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your tax return, so no one at TT knows that the IRS changed your refund or why.   Only the IRS can explain it to you, which they will do by sending you a letter a few weeks after you receive the adjusted refund.

I am using Turbo Tax 2025 Home and Business for Windows 11. Yes, I have reported inventory in prior years. My sales income was just under the 20,000 limit for 2025 so eBay did not generate a 1099k this year. I got my sales numbers from Sales Reporting page. I am confident my net sales numbers are solid.    So I calculated my tax return with just my non-eBay work and it calculates a $750 return. If I enter a business income of 0 and enter the same ending inventory as starting inventory ($4000) as a test, Turbo Tax immediately adjusts my tax return from a $750 return down to a -$105 (tax owed). What is going on? Why would 0 income and no change in inventory cause a huge change in calculated tax?

TurboTax does not have any records related to your donation, so TurboTax would not tell you that something doesn't match their records. What is the exact message that you are getting, word for word? TurboTax also cannot see the letter from the charity. The only information that TurboTax has about the donation is what you entered. Go back through the questions about the donation. Read the screens carefully and make sure your entries are accurate. It can be confusing when you have a letter or statement instead of a Form 1098-C, because the TurboTax screens refer to the boxes on a 1098-C. But you have to enter all the information that would be on a 1098-C. Or is it the IRS that is not accepting your tax return? If it's an IRS rejection, what is the entire reject message, including the code?  

Box 20 of an IRS form W-2 refers to a city, county, school district or other local tax authority within a state.   The state associated with the city, county, school district or other local tax authority must be added so that the taxes withheld are properly credited to the tax return prepared or the tax assessment generated within the state income tax return.

Product: TT Online Premium 2025   I am in CA and we had a nanny for a few months in 2025 to look after our kids. When answering this same question "Social Security and Medicare tax withheld by state (withholding on state disability payments)" regarding schedule H, do I use line items 2 and 4 below OR something else?   My observation is that the amount I type when answering this question doesn't impact the CA taxes. It impacts the Federal tax though - the lower the amount, the higher the federal tax and vice versa.    Thanks M

I got the same transmission failure message when I tried the 1st time.  I tried again later and the message says that I need to get the latest Turbo Tax update.  I did and then the tax return was transmitted without any problem.

Yes that one is the newer C++ and is backwards compatible.  It does open slowly but eventually opens -- I have the same issue so patiently wait and it does open. Slow but works.  And the functionality all works, already netfiled 3 returns.
