In addition to the useful info that @xmasbaby0 shared:   You can check both Federal and State forms availability at this link. The current projected date for availability for the Federal Form 1040X is now February 26, 2026. If you are in California - their amendment form Schedule X is available but is not supported for e-filing.   @shaylaeaklephotography 

this advice that your devices needs to be OS 26 capable i.e. Turbotax is sensitive to certain HW or won't run on Intel chips, sounds a bit sketchy tho.  Ironically they still produce an Intel-only binary which is why Apple Silicon chips need Rosetta to run it.  But there has been no other indication it won't run on Intel, if there is then they need to update their system requirements.  I would have also expected more consistent complaints here in the forum for those on older HW, not just folks stuck on MAC OS 13 complaining.   Presumably you've tried all this but fwiw, see https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/update-products/troubleshoot-turbotax-mac-updating-issues/L2QTZw9Xr_US_en_US   The other thing you may be able to try is to use Parallels to set up a Win 11 VM and run desktop there, not sure what's involved tho.   If you need to do multiple returns you certainly want to avoid Online, your only other option in the desktop space is HR Block who are more forgiving for support of older MAC OS versions also.  Others have reported the transfer from TT to HRB works fine (except for more complicated depreciation scheduled etc which need some work to set up manually), the UI is not as good/flexible but it should get the job done for 2025 taxes. Desktop is only 1% of Intuit revenues and in decline, they are clearly more focused on online/live services which have 10x the users for 20x the revenue; and the lack of universal binary for Mac to date has some of the more technical Mac people in this forum speculating they will drop support of Mac when Apple ends support for Rosetta in MAC OS 28 which would line up with the 2027 tax year.  It's certainly conceivable in some future year they will drop Mac support or desktop altogether but who knows - again this all highly speculative, just some additional context on this topic. To get a refund on your purchase see https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-refunds/request-refund-turbotax-product/L834M6uyW_US_en_US   Good luck!

Thanks for your response. To better explain my question - I was paid a bonus in January and required to repay in July of the same year because I left early. I was required to repay the net amount of the bonus. As example I repaid 15000 of the 25000 bonus. My employer reduced my w2 wages by 15000, the net payment. No other boxes on the w2 were changed to reflect repayment. Is this correct? Or should I request my former employer correct the w2 to reduce wages by 25000 and taxes paid? 

$1,700 is the refundable amount of the Child Tax Credit which provides up to $2,200 per qualifying child aged 16 or younger, with up to $1,700 of that amount being refundable.   Will your tax return report dependents who will qualify for the Child Tax Credit?  Please clarify.   The Child Tax Credit will be reported on IRS Schedule 8812 Credits for Qualifying Children and Other Dependents.  The computation of the $1,700 refundable amount takes place on page 2 Part II-A.   You may print or view your full tax returns prior to filing after you have paid for the software.    View the entries down the left side of the screen at Tax Tools. Select Print Center. Select Print, save or preview this year's return.

I recommend you delete that transaction and re-enter.  To report your stock sale as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) transaction do not import your Form 1099-B.  Enter it manually, by indicating "I will type it in myself".   After you enter your broker's information (Name & EIN) the next screen will say:  "Tell us about the sales on your [Broker Name] 1099-B".  The first question is "Do these sales include any employee stock?" Indicate Yes.  I recommend, as does the program, that you enter your sales one by one.  On the "Now, enter one sale..." Select the type of transaction (should be Long Term, basis reported to the IRS), and then for "What type of investment did you sell?"  Select Employee stock purchase plan (ESPP).     Enter the information for your transaction.  On the next screen, indicate you don't have your cost basis and need help.  The program will guide you through entering the sale of your ESPP stock.

So I started over and readded the information for 1099K and 1099NEC under "hobby". It would still create the Schedule C but I did delete it through Tax tools -> Tools.    At this moment, I have   - Form 1099-K Wks (Uber Technologies, Inc): Payment Card and Third Party Network Transactions Wks -Form 1099-NEC Worksheet (Uber Technologies, Inc)   At this point, I assume I am done ? Thank you again !   

Log in to your account and go to your dashboard.  Your return status should show as 'accepted', 'rejected' or 'pending'.  You also should have received an email when the return was accepted or rejected.  You can check your spam folder.

No one on the user forum can see your tax return.  We do not know if your 21025 return is accurate or ready, nor can we predict when you will receive your state refund.    Did you use "Live Assisted" and then get confused and try to contact the user forum instead of your "expert?"    If you are using "Live" contact your expert with your questions. https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/product-setup/connect-tax-expert-turbotax-live/L73wOZD5D_US_en_US?uid=m8zw1pbb     If you used "do it yourself" software---then, sorry, we cannot see your tax return.  You have to check it yourself to make sure you entered everything completely and correctly.   After you e-file, you track the refunds yourself.   First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.     You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2025 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds   To track your state refund:     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr
