You will need to file a Part Year Resident return for Indiana since your wife did not live there the entire year.  In the Personal Info section of TurboTax, you should have entered that your wife lived in two different states in 2025.  If you didn't, you should go back and enter that she did live in two different states.  Once you do that, your Indiana state return should come up as recommended filing of a part year resident return.  If not, you may need to delete your Indiana state return and start over.  Also be sure to complete your Michigan return before working on your Indiana return and that you correctly allocate your income items to each state.
i also wanted to buy advantage, but since retailers dont bundle 'advantage', i am forced to buy from TT website :(

If you changed your permanent address, you are a part-year resident in each state, and you need to file a part-year resident return.  Generally speaking, state A will charge income tax on income that was paid while you were living in state A, and state B will charge tax on income paid while living in state B.  If your SS benefit is your only income after you moved to state B, you probably don't have to file a return in state B.  But you might want to file to establish your change of residency, or there might be other benefits to filing even if you don't owe.     Also note that when preparing your state A return, your income will flow from the federal return which lists all your income.  You will have to manually tell turbotax how much of your total income should be assigned to state A.

I'm reading all the posts. I understand I must amend my 2022 tax return and I must mail the amended return.  Yet, I'm still unclear if  I will be able to use the TT software to properly complete the amended return.  And which specific steps in forms do I need to use?  I would also appreciate knowing if anyone has successfully used TT to amend 2002 AND has received their IRS  refund.

Just checked my Desktop program.  It did another update today Jan 16.  Don't know  what it has.  1099R is still waiting.  That's been 3 updates this week,  Jan 12, 15 & 16.

It says I’ll get my refund advance within 30 minutes once the IRS accepts my return. How long does it take for them to accept my return?
they probably won't fix the email bug at this point, updates come weekly around mid-week so just check next week.  or watch this forum, there is a post about this issue every hour.

Hi there,   I started a buisness this year and had almost $7k worth of business start up cost. I still am finishing products for launch, and due to that had no income in 2025. I know I need to file my taxes. I got divorced in 2025 as well as have 3 young kids. I had no other sources of income. Would i recieve any refund for the expenses I incurred starting the business expecially since I did not have any income? I am lost and my ex is helping me navigate though he isn't entirely sure. We are unsure who would make more sense filing the kids under. This is a whole new advanture I have no idea how to navigate. Any advice would be much appreciated.
