File when your checking or savings account has sufficient funds to pay the TurboTax fees.   OR visit your state revenue website to explore online filing option. You would enter all the state tax forms manually, but there would not be a fee.   @thuff919                                 

Hi Monika, thanks for your response, much appreciated. I thought I was on the Canadian side. Noted, I'll check the link you forwarded. I will go through the US Canada Tax Treaty and fetch the details. So, based on what I understand from your email, the distribution which is reinvested in a Canadian RRSP should not be taxed but the distribution reinvested in Canadian TFSA, should be taxed in USA by IRS? Note: In the USA, I am considered a resident for tax purposes. Could you please confirm. Thanks, Razi

@ lightning1031    Is this a single return as opposed to married filing joint?   If it's a joint return, report back with the rejection error code/message so we can know whose 2024 AGI is failing.   Don't give up without resubmitting by using a 2024 AGI of 0 as @Mike9241  suggested above.   If the AGI of 0 were to also fail, then there is one last thing to try, but it's a bit onerous unless you already have an IRS online account.   One could get an IP PIN which is a more powerful verifier than the AGI; i.e., it supersedes.  The IRS says an IP PIN can be used to verify your return instead of the prior-year AGI.   The IP PIN is entered in a special interview topic.   We can tell you more about that, if necessary, but first see if an AGI of 0 works.

If the IRS doesn't show your extension request despite filing and paying on 4/14, it could be due to processing delays. The IRS updates taxpayer balances no more than once every 24 hours, usually overnight. Payments may take 1 to 3 weeks to appear in your payment history. Next steps: 1. Keep your payment confirmation and extension filing proof. 2. Review your IRS account transcripts for your record of account and filing status. This shows detailed information including payments posted and extensions accepted. Delays are common, but continue monitoring your IRS account transcripts for the most current status of your extension and payment.

your e-mail address is not used for verification purposes by the IRS.  It only matches your prior year's adjusted gross income and SSN as provided on your 2025 filing to those on your 2024 return.  if you filed late (after 10/15/2025) try zero for prior-year AGI. if timely, round AGI to a whole number. 50 cents or more is rounded up to the next whole dollar, 49 cents or less is dropped (The IRS does allow rounding of all $ amounts entered into your return following the above rule. thus AGI will be a whole number)  If you filed 2024 on time, the IRS wants the AGI from the original return, not any amended filings.      Sometimes, for reasons unknown, nothing works. In that case you'll have to mail your return folloowing the filing instructions provided. Use a tracking method so you'll know that the IRS got it, but it may not be processed that day. It will sit in a mailbag until the IRS gets to it and if you check before it is processed, the iRS will say they never got it. . 

It depends. Prescription costs can only help your tax return if your total medical expenses are more than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) and you itemize deductions.    Prescription drugs are allowed as a medical expense, but you only get a tax benefit if all your medical costs together are high enough to pass that 7.5% threshold. If your medical expenses are less than that, you won’t get a deduction for them.   If you want to find out more about other deductible medical expenses, click this link.

@Abeba  also said:  "I want to talk someone to explain the problem."   Once you explain the problem, you may be able to get help here in the forum, but if you specifically want to speak to someone, you would need to contact TurboTax Customer Support:   TurboTax Support https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/contact/

You didn't say if you had already filed the MN return or not.  If your return is still in preparation, the steps below will ask you to pay for it first before you can download/print.   You can view/print/download a choice of PDFs.  To get the larger PDF with the worksheets you have to open your return interview back up and go to the Print Center as I'll explain in detail below.   NOTE:  When you open your return back up, do not make any changes in it if it's already been filed.  If you later have to amend the return, it has to start off exactly as it was when it was originally filed.   Likewise, if the Federal return has already been filed, do not make changes on the Federal side.   Log in, and at the Tax Home or in/near the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents" for 2025, look for a link/button Add a State." Click on "Add a State."  (you don't really add one.  That's just to open your return back up.) After the return interview is open, click in the left menu column on the tab TAX TOOLS, then PRINT CENTER. Then choose "Print, save, view this year's return." The next screen should ask what you want in your PDF:  Federal. state, or both (I always save both--just in case) and offer some options:  "Just my tax returns", or "include government worksheets (optional)", or "include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional.)"  The latter has the most pages. NOTE:  Remember all PDF tax documents and tax data files are very sensitive files, since they contain your personal ID info, financial data, and possibly bank account numbers, etc.  Be sure to store them safely and securely to guard against computer theft, hacking, etc.

There are a lot of possible reasons for rejections, and you didn't specify one.    If you name the rejection error code/message, someone may be able to comment to help you either resubmit the efile or to file on paper in the mail.   Secondly, is this a married joint return or a single taxpayer?   Thirdly, are you due a Federal refund, or do you owe taxes due?  If you are sure you are getting a Federal refund, there is no penalty for a late Federal return.

To print a receipt for your TurboTax fee payment, you can check your email for the payment confirmation from TurboTax. This email typically includes the transaction details and serves as your receipt. If you can't find the email, you can also access your receipt by logging into your TurboTax account, going to your Account settings, and then navigating to the Purchase history or Order history section. From there, you can view and print your receipt. This is the usual way to get a receipt for TurboTax fees.

You may have an amount already entered somewhere else on your return.   What worksheet are you entering it on?    Elective deferrals from your W-2 are automatically captured when you enter the W-2 and do not need to be entered again.   If you are self-employed, have you entered your self-employment income?    @Dugshev
