Georgia provides an automatic 6-month extension to file individual income tax returns if you have an approved federal extension (Form 4868), with no separate state form required.  Extensions only apply to filing, not payment; tax payments are still due by the original deadline to avoid interest

Please clarify what type of payments you needed to allocate. Did you mean to make a payment with an extension?   Filing an extension in TurboTax does not cause your return to be filed.  We have reported to the developers that customers have expressed concern about the language in the extension section mentioning "return" and it will be revised before next tax season.   In the meantime, did you click the button to Transmit your returns? That is the last step in the File section. If you have already e-filed your returns, don't make any changes until you receive confirmation that your return has been filed and accepted.   If you have not yet transmitted your returns, you can still make changes if you go back to the File section. See this TurboTax help article for more information.   @gigabot 

@Stacy93 While Illinois does not tax inherited IRA distributions, it is possible Illinois takes the position that since the IRA was owned by the estate and not you, the distribution from the estate is indeed taxable.  The money you received was not from a IRA you inherited.  The estate inherited the IRA.   See the dilemma?    You may want to ask someone locally for advise. 

It's now a year later (April 11, 2026) and the What-If worksheet still hasn't been fixed!!!!!   TurboTax already knows whose name is on each income and property. It also knows in which state we reside. TurboTax should be able to properly allocate the community and separate property in the worksheet. Why doesn't this work?   Until this problem is fixed the worksheet should have a giant disclaimer stating that the worksheet does not properly handle the allocation of separate and personal property.   When will the What-If worksheet actually handle community vs separate property correctly? Does anyone at Intuit read these comments? Can these comments and concerns please be forwarded to the team that can actually fix this problem?   The current situation is really quite unacceptable IMHO.

The At Risk box on Schedule C line 32?   If you have money not at risk you can not take a loss on schedule C. If you don't know what it means then probably All your Investment is at Risk (check Box 32a). It means you are using your own money for the business.   Do you need to change it from No to Yes for box 32a?

To complete and file a prior year (2022, 2023, 2024) tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the desktop editions for each tax year required from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/   A prior year tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.  Use separate envelopes for each tax year when mailing.

Can you help me ?  I filed my taxes on April 3rd.  I'm afraid they didn't process it yet because of the fact that my one employer w2 was spelling my name wrong and address i had to get it fixed. I didn't file my taxes and was dodo didn't need to have a w2c to file because only my address was wrong now. I'm hoping this doesn't mess it up. They added a c to my name and had my address number opposite 878 787 .    Hopefully wasn't done on purpose.

@user17759303457 you have the option of each filing Separate or  Filing Joint in Illinios since you both were not full year residents.    if you choose to file file MFS , you would file MFS, with a residential tax return.  Your spouse would file MFS with a part year tax return.   Alternatively, you can file MFJ and then take a tax credit for what your wife paid in the other state.    https://tax.illinois.gov/individuals/jointfilingdifferentstate.html
