The error 'Person on the Return Worksheet:Enrollmentstatus must be entered' usually means TurboTax expects enrollment status for that person, often connected to education credits. Since this person isn't a student and not on a Form 1098-T, the software may have a leftover enrollment question filled incorrectly or missing. To update or clear this in TurboTax Online: 1. Go to the Federal section. 2. Select Deductions & Credits. 3. Scroll to the Education section and select Revisit or Start. 4. Review all persons listed for education credits and update enrollment status or remove education entries for the person who is not a student. This should resolve the error by ensuring no incorrect student status is assigned to that person.

@barthelemmmy115  Then don't use it to file your taxes.   If you keep getting annoying emails to work on it or finish working on it...then log into your Intuit account, and turn off all notifications.

The credit is nowhere to be found. Does not end up on Form 3800.    I believe the error is how TT handles the Form 3468 Part V credit. Per IRS for all solar investments in 2025 should be using Section 48E which is Form 3468 part V Section A. Previous years were Section 48, Part VI Section B.    I moved the credit to Part VI and the credit appears properly in Form 3800 now. Turbotax needs to update the software to reflect Section 48E usage. I can manually override for now but happy to report I believe this is the issue.

Once your tax return is released to the IRS, TurboTax has no control over it.   However, the IRS has published an article because delays happen so frequently. Why it may take longer than 21 days for some taxpayers to receive their federal refund The IRS states, "To check the status of a refund, taxpayers should use the  Where's My Refund? tool on IRS.gov."  You'll need Your Social Security or individual taxpayer ID number (ITIN) Your filing status The exact refund amount on your return

The IRS uses your prior year AGI to combat fraud. Make sure you take into account the information below.   You can find your 2024 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by: Looking at line 11 on page 1 of your 2024 Form 1040 Requesting a transcript of your 2024 tax return from the IRS. You can request your transcript online at the following link: Get Transcript Please click on this TurboTax article for more information.    Check these items as well to ensure you have the correct number.  If you:  Filed late last year after mid-November or your return was processed after that time—try entering 0. Amended your return last year—make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. (If you only have a 1040X form, it’s on line 1, column A). Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less. Filed with your spouse last year—you and your spouse have the same 2024 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter  0  for one of you).   Time-saving Tip: If what you entered is correct and you continue to get a reject, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return.    This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return. 

Also be sure you are only using the Federal refund amount as shown on your Form 1040, Line 35a and not including any state refund, which comes separately.   TurboTax has a summary screen that can be confusing since it considers the Federal and state refunds (or taxes owed) together to show a net result.  So sometimes a not-yet-received state refund can explain the difference for some people.   If the IRS sent a lesser amount than the refund shown on Form 1040, Line 35a, there "may" be a message at the IRS "Where's My Refund" tracker tool: https://www.irs.gov/refunds   If you paid any fees out of your Federal refund as Expert @ JohnB5677 mentioned above, also be aware there is an extra service fee of $40 for that option ($45 for California filers) plus possible sales taxes.

We are not able to see the report from Airbnb that you are seeing.   I presume that you are seeing gross income charged by Airbnb and the remitted taxes are local hospitality taxes that Airbnb remitted in your behalf.   If that is the case, the gross income is reported as gross proceeds in a rental activity.   The remitted taxes would be listed as expenses within the rental activity.  You may create an expense code for the expense.   In TurboTax Online, establish the rental activity by following these steps:    Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal. Down the left side of the screen, click on Wages & income. Scroll down to Rentals, Royalties, and Farm.  Click down arrow to the right. Select Start / Revisit to the right of Rental Properties and Royalties. At the screen Here's rental property info, select Add income to report rental income. At the screen Here's rental property info, select Add expense or asset to report rental expense. Select Add expense or asset to establish the rental property asset. Answer the questions to establish the rental property asset and compute depreciation on the rental property asset. Rental property income is reported on Schedule E Supplemental Income and Loss.  See also this TurboTax Help.   

Entering your long term care insurance premiums under the Schedule C expenses is not a pointless entry.  Even though those premiums are not deducted from your Schedule C income (thus reducing self-employment tax), they are entered on Form 1040 Schedule 1 line 17 as an adjustment to income.  This means they are used to reduce your income tax, not self-employment tax.     The deduction for the long term care insurance premium is also not limited by 7.5% of your AGI as it would if it were claimed on Schedule A Itemized Deductions.  So, generally it is a more beneficial deduction than claiming the premiums as a medical expense.   @pcatful 

Hello,   I am having a similar issue due to itemized taxes. I understand I have no liability because my total was well above the $10,000 cap.   However, I'm trying to enter the 1099-G information, so it is properly captured. When I add the $400 as a Virginia state refund, I'm asked to provide the total withheld/payments.  If I use the amount from my 2024 tax return (760 CG Line 26), I receive an error. Before the rebate, the net 2024 state tax (Line 18) from my return matched the sum of the estimated taxes paid (Line 20), withholding (Line 19B), and amount paid with return (Line 27). Inserting the $400, and using the numbers from my 2024 return, appears to reduce the sum of everything I paid by $400 compared to the total state tax for 2024. Should I reduce the total state tax for 2024 by $400, even though that's not what was on my tax return? I didn't have any luch finding a place to do that in Turbotax.   Jeff

Yes, TurboTax can send the necessary paperwork to the IRS, but there are a few important details about how the "approval" process actually works.   When you file your taxes and indicate that you cannot pay the full amount, TurboTax will help you include Form 9465 (Installment Agreement Request) with your return.   It is important to know that the IRS doesn't typically give "pre-approval." Instead, the process looks like this:   Submission: TurboTax sends your tax return along with your payment plan request.  If you owe $10,000 or less (excluding penalties and interest), the IRS is generally required to accept your plan as long as you’ve filed on time for the last 5 years and can pay it off within 3 years.  If you owe between $10,000 and $50,000, you can usually get a "streamlined" agreement that doesn't require a deep dive into your finances. Even though you've sent the request, the IRS may take 30 to 90 days to formally process it. They will send you a confirmation letter (Notice CP521 or CP523) in the mail once it is officially active. To apply, and if you haven't submitted your return, follow these steps to submit.   Navigate to the File tab.  On the screen that asks "How would you like to pay your federal taxes?", select "Request an IRS payment plan." TurboTax will then walk you through the questions for Form 9465. Once finished, your request will be attached to your return and sent to the IRS electronically.      

I may be wrong about this because I can't find a definitive answer in pub 590 on recharacterizations.  Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think there needs to be an explanation on recharacterizations and conversions that the main difference that I can find is that a back door roth is used for those people who cannot contribute to a Roth due to income limits.  A recharacterization is only for those instances where you meet the income limits but decide before Apr15 that you want to move it to one or the other.  A conversion is required If you're trying to do a back door roth, and is subject to 6% tax plus 10% penalty if under age 59.5.  Am I right?

Thank you for the answer, everything you explained is exactly what I’m trying to do, but it doesn’t seem to be possible in the online version. The military pay subtraction does appear on the Michigan return under "Income/Military Pay Adjustment" section, but ONLY when both spouses are marked as full-year residents. As soon as I change the non–active-duty spouse to part-year or nonresident, that subtraction option disappears from the income section, even when keeping the military member as full-year. The Premium Online version doesn’t allow direct form editing, so it seems like I can’t use this version, which is frustrating, since it’s the free option for military members.

If you didn't choose Pay with my Refund, it's probably because the IRS has made an adjustment to the refund.  This can happen: If there was a miscalculation of credits  Or a refund offset for money owed for (child support, student loans) You will be getting a letter in the mail explaining the reason.
