This change will reduce the time for the agency to receive the tax return and accelerate the issuance of tax refunds for those with duplicate dependent returns. In previous years, the second tax return had to be filed by paper."   "In the scenario where the dependent has already been claimed on another tax return, the IP PIN provides an important new option. The taxpayer listed first on an e-filed tax return claiming dependents can provide their current year IP PIN when they file. If they do, the return will still be accepted. The spouse (if married filing jointly) and the dependents on the tax return don’t need to provide an IP PIN if they don’t have one."   IRS Source: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-takes-steps-to-help-prevent-refund-delays-by-accepting-duplicate-de...

I presume you mean you want to start your own thread.  Scroll way down lower on this page.  Below each thread just after you see some page numbers, you should see a blue box "Post a question".  Then you'll get a form where you can enter a subject/title of your question.  Below that line is a box with room for any details.   Or you can go to this direct link to pick a category then ask a question: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/file-with-turbotax/discussion/03/303 Then when you go to the next screen after that, there is a blue "Ask a question" button placed right over the image near the top next to the search box.  That makes it kind of hard to see.

Steps to Delete Form 1095-A Open Your Return Sign in to TurboTax Online and open or continue your tax return. Access Tax Tools In the left-hand menu, select Tax Tools, then click Tools to open the Tool Center. Delete a Form In the Tool Center, choose Delete a form. A list of forms, schedules, and worksheets will appear. Locate and Delete 1095-A Find Form 1095-A in the list and click Delete next to it. This will also remove the associated Form 8962 if it exists, which is used for Premium Tax Credit calculations. Verify Removal After deletion, ensure that neither 1095-A nor 8962 appears in your forms list. If they do, repeat the deletion process. Adjust Your Answers If prompted during the interview questions, indicate that you did not receive a 1095-A. This ensures TurboTax does not re-add the form. Special Considerations Transferred Forms from Prior Years: If a 1095-A was transferred from a previous year, you may need to first answer "Yes" to having a 1095-A to access the blank form, then delete it and answer "No" to confirm you do not have the form for the current year. 1 Mobile Users: If using a mobile device, log in through a mobile browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari) rather than the app, then follow the same steps.

number for what?    If you had Marketplace insurance, you must file a 1040 with Form 8962, which is generated from entering the info on the 1095-A you should have gotten from Marketplace.gov. You can go to that website to obtain a copy.   

Neither TurboTax nor anyone on this forum can find out what happened to your refund. Under current law, the IRS is only supposed to make a direct deposit. If this info is incorrect on your return, the DD went back to the IRS which may either send you a notice requesting correction or send you a check which can take weeks. other steps Check the IRS Where's My Refund? tool: This tool allows you to check the status of your refund online. You will need to provide your Social Security number, filing status, and the exact dollar amount of your refund. Contact the IRS: If you cannot check the status online, you can call the IRS to inquire about your refund. Be aware that wait times to speak with a representative can be long, but you can avoid waiting by using the automated phone system. 1 Verify your address: If you moved after filing your return, your refund check may be returned to the IRS. Submit a Change of Address Form 8822 to the IRS and also to the USPS. Check for notices: If you received a CP237A notice from the IRS, it means the tax refund check they sent you was never deposited. Call 1-800-829-0115 to claim your refund.
