What does it say in your TT online account?  Does it show that your 2023 return was accepted?   If it was accepted, what does it say on the IRS refund site?   Use the amount on line 35a of your 2023 Form 1040, your SSN and your filing status.  https://www.irs.gov/refunds  

Believe what you want but we actually have 3 inherited IRAs. This Roth IRA and a traditional IRA from the same relative who died in 2012 and another traditional IRA from a different family member who died more recently. All numbers were entered and all of the questions were answered correctly. The only one that had any issue was the Roth IRA which was correctly calculated on the 1040 and shown there to be tax free, but then later was treated as though the RMD wasn’t taken after all and a penalty assessed on the same amount.  Anyway, I’m sure not many people have this same issue as it is not a very common situation, but I hope they also find a work around. I am finished with this topic, so won’t be looking at replies or responding further.  

This appears to be like a system hack to get your return accepted by the IRS but what is the risk of having it later rejected by the IRS because the code that was submitted (to get the eFile accepted) doesn't validate with the QMID they have for the manufacturer? I would think that Intuit has a vested interest in letting their customers know that printing and mailing their return may actually be faster than eFiling.  Perhaps it may even help customers to know that there is an eFiling issue when using certain QMIDs on form 5695 and that may later result in a delayed processed return and a IRS notice to send in a completed Form 5695 if you eFile. There have been quite a few others in this forum that has already received IRS 12c letters to send in just their form 5695 and this unfortunately will cause 60-120 delay in getting my tax return processed.

If you installed TurboTax on another computer that you own and haven't efiled any returns yet, you'll have all five Efiles still available to you.  You can install the program on as many computers that you own as you want.    @patmac59 

Your Retirement Savings Contributions Credit is limited to $54 because this tax credit is not permitted to reduce your tax liability below zero.  Tax credits that are not permitted to reduce your tax liability below zero are referred to as nonrefundable credits.

Use the following steps to enter your NOL Carryover from last year in TurboTax Online:   On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)  This opens a box where you can type in “NOL” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find) The search results will give you an option to “Jump to NOL” Click on the blue “Jump to NOL” link and enter your information. Note, if you did your taxes last year with TurboTax and generated an NOL carryover, then in many cases, TurboTax will carryover the NOL automatically to the next year. Check for this in case it appears that your NOL carryover is being double-entered in your 2025 tax return.  You can deduct less than the full amount.   See IRS Publication 536 for more information about NOLs.    Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryovers for tax years beginning after 2020 are limited to 80% of taxable income (calculated without the NOL deduction), as per IRC Section 172 and IRS instructions. This 80% rule means you cannot always use the full amount in a single year.    THE PROGRAM DOES NOT SUPPORT THE CALCULATION OF NOL CARRYOVERS. THIS INCLUDES THE 80% LIMITATION PURSUANT TO THE TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT. See here for the complete list of unsupported calculations.   

No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/contact-turbotax/L2y9ZKpQB_US_en_US?uid=m5s9l2vh

MarilynG1 - In IRS Publication 561, "Determining the Value of Donated Property" , the IRS provides very specific guidance for valuing stocks and bonds.  See page 5, the section "Stocks and Bonds".  It states: "The value of stocks and bonds is the FMV of a share or bond on the valuation date." It then provides a very specific description, as follows: "Selling prices on valuation date. If there is an active public market for the contributed stocks or bonds on a stock exchange, in an over-the-counter market, or elsewhere, the FMV of each share or bond is the average price between the highest and lowest quoted selling prices on the valuation date. For example, if the highest selling price for a share was $11 and the lowest $9, the average price is $10. You get the average price by adding $11 and $9 and dividing the sum by 2."  Thus, to be IRS compliant, the valuation method to determine the fair market value for donations of publicly traded stocks or bonds should be the average share price.  Turbotax users should be able to select "average share price" for their valuation method and have it reflected properly on form 8283.  Turbotax has already acknowledged this needs to get this fixed and are working to resolve the issue.  Quoting from a post on 3/2/26 by MonikaK1 (Employee Tax Expert): "The issues with entries on Form 8283 and donations of stock have been reported by other users and have been elevated for investigation. It has since been confirmed as an issue by our development team.  We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, and you can sign up here for updates."  I'll say again that it is very frustrating for Turbotax users that want to properly file their tax returns that Turbotax is taking so long to correct this issue.
