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

If you used TurboTax online editions for the 2024 state return it will be included in the PDF download.  The state tax return in the PDF is located directly below the federal tax return forms, schedules and worksheets.   To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/ Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)   If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

Thank you for your reply. I was told previously that, "An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed". I did e-file the original but, I will be needing to mail the amended return because I will need to include a form that is paper only. So I need to know definitively that I can mail my amended return.

There is not an undo option.  Are you using the online version or desktop version? What type of statement was it?   If you are in the desktop version you can go back to the forms mode and look for the form that you did the statement on.    If you are in the online version you can go to delete a form to delete the statement form, however, if it changed your refund it may not be something you should delete as it could affect the accuracy of your taxes.    From the left rail menu in TurboTax Online, select Tax Tools (You may have to scroll down on the left rail menu.) On the drop-down select Tools On the Pop-Up menu titled “Tools Center,” select Delete a Form  This will show all of the forms in your return  Scroll down to the form you want to delete  Select the Form  Click on Delete.  Always use extreme caution when deleting information from your tax return.  There could be unintended consequences.   

You've asked several questions about this, so I am aware you previously mentioned you have a Roth conversion.   A Roth conversion affects your Form 8606 even without a new contribution because the form isn't just a log of what you put in—it is a calculator.  When you move money from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, that money is often a mix of "already taxed" dollars (your basis) and "never taxed" dollars (earnings and deductible contributions).   Since the IRS doesn't allow you to choose which dollars you convert, the form uses a specific mathematical flow to separate them.   Even if you didn't add a single penny of new after-tax money this year, the IRS requires you to recalculate your basis to ensure you aren't taxed twice on the money you converted.   Here is exactly how the conversion ripples through the form: The most important change happens at the bottom of Part I. Every time you convert money to a Roth, a piece of your historical basis (the "tax-free" part) is attached to that conversion. Line 2: You pull in your old basis (say, $5,000 from 2018). Line 13: This line calculates the portion of that $5,000 that was "used" to make your 2025 conversion tax-free. Line 14: It updates your total basis for the future. If you used $2,000 of your basis for this conversion, Line 14 will now show $3,000. That is your new starting number for 2026. There is an additional calculation done on line 6-10.  Even if you have $10,000 of old basis and you only convert $10,000, you don't necessarily get a tax-free conversion. The conversion forces you to fill out Lines 6 through 10, where you list the value of ALL your Traditional IRAs. If you have $90,000 of pre-tax money elsewhere, the 8606 math will only allow a small fraction of your "old basis" to be applied to this conversion. The rest of your basis stays in the "bucket" for next year. Part II (Lines 16-18): This is where the conversion actually happens on the form. Even with no new contributions: Line 16: Shows the total amount you moved to the Roth. Line 17: Pulls the nontaxable portion calculated in Part I (using your old basis). Line 18: This is the final result. It tells the IRS exactly how much of your conversion is taxable income on your 1040. Think of Form 8606 as a mathematical filter. When you move money from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, that money is often a mix of already taxed dollars (your basis) and never taxed dollars (earnings and deductible contributions). Without this update, the IRS would have no way of knowing: That a portion of the money you moved was already taxed (saving you money). How much of your "tax-free" balance is left for future years. That you followed the "Pro-Rata" law by looking at all your accounts instead of just one.

Thanks. So, in PA, Federal capital gains are ‘dividends’, a different income stream that can’t be offset. Seems crazy, but rules are rules. In researching the same thing happened last year, but I missed it. Additional withholding is in order. Thanks again.

@stantreuman Where are you seeing the Form 5695 being unavailable? Are you using the TurboTax online web-based editions or the TurboTax desktop editions with the software installed on a personal computer?
