@bivona2525    There was a New pop-up this year that you had to accept...before the data will actually get recorded. IT was something about letting Intuit have access to your devices...   See the following discussions on what to do to re-set that browser to allow it, then try again. __________________________ Solved: Re: Importing Brokerage data does not work and Solved: Re: vanguard brokerage update is available from Vanguard but not on turbo tax

To access your tax returns (current or prior year) you will sign into the TurboTax website with the user ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/   Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)   As an alternative for current year return, when you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a State (You will not really be adding a state).    This will take you back in to the 2024 online tax return.   Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Find the Print Center and choose the year you want to print.  If you want your full return including worksheets, choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets.   In TurboTax Online, follow these steps to print/view your return and all of the informational worksheets after you have filed:   Sign in to TurboTax Scroll down to Your Tax Returns & Documents Select 2024 and then Add a State (You aren't actually adding a State but this gets you back into the Print Center) From the left panel Select Tax Tools, scroll down a little and select Print Center Select Print, save or preview this year's return Select the 2024 Federal and/or State return box Choose to Include TurboTax and government worksheets Select View or Print Forms

Medical reimbursements from your employer are tax free and generally do not need to be entered into the tax return.  If you are taking a deduction for medical expenses then you would need to reduce the deduction by the reimbursed amount.   In this case you are receiving a credit for the amount that should have been paid by the government for your marketplace health insurance plan based on your income and the cost of the insurance.  The premium tax credit does not take into consideration how you are paying the premiums that you paid - only that they should have been paid by the government instead of by you.  So the amount you were reimbursed by your employer has no effect on the premium tax credit.

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS releases your refund.    The IRS states that most federal tax refunds are issued within 21 days of acceptance, however, some may take longer if they require additional review. Also, by law, the IRS cannot issue EITC or ACTC refunds before mid-February. This applies to your entire refund, not just the portion related to those specific credits.   Here are a few FAQs to help you track your refund: When will I get my federal tax refund? How do I track my state refund? Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"? Why do some refunds take longer than others? What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

Generally no.  If you never launched the business and only filed the paperwork you cannot write off the legal fees for zoom on your 2025 return.     If you do plan to start the business still, you can deduct up to $5,000 in start up costs in the first year of business, which you could use the legal fees as start up costs when you begin operations.   

First, check to see if you signed up for the TurboTax Refund Advance. You can look in a few specific places in your account or your email.    Check Your TurboTax Order Details On the Tax Home page, scroll down to the section for "Your tax returns & documents." Select View Order Details. Look for "Refund Advance" or "Credit Karma Money" listed under your payment and refund methods. If it’s not there, you likely selected a standard direct deposit or a different refund option.   Look for Confirmation Emails If you applied, you should have received automated emails from TurboTax and its partners. From TurboTax: Search for an email confirming your "Refund Selection." From Credit Karma: If you were approved, Credit Karma sends an email when the funds are deposited into your Credit Karma Money Spend account. From WebBank: If your application was denied, you will receive an email from WebBank (the lender) explaining the reason for the decline.   Check Your Credit Karma Money Account Because the Refund Advance is deposited into a Credit Karma Money™ Spend account, checking that account is the fastest way to see if the loan was processed. Log in to your Credit Karma account. Navigate to the Money tab. If you see a pending or completed deposit for a portion of your refund (typically between $250 and $4,000) shortly after the IRS accepted your return, that is your Refund Advance.   Review Your Tax Return Summary You can also find clues on your actual tax forms: Open your 2025 return in TurboTax Go to the Tax Tools menu on the left Select Print Center View your Federal Information Worksheet Look at the "Direct Deposit" section If you signed up for the advance, the bank account listed will be the MVB Bank account associated with Credit Karma, rather than your personal bank account.

Thank you for your reply, which I appreciate.      Your answer would make a lot of sense IF the taxable amount in box 2a were blank. However, the gross distribution in box 1 is $22,708.08 and the box 2a taxable amount is $22,248.72, and I typed those in when entering the form I'm certain (though I will go back and check as well). That was why I was so flummoxed to be asked when TurboTax should not need this information. It seems that this year TurboTax is asking me this and other unnecessary questions (like whether the TRS pension or my TSP account are 403(b)'s, which I then had to go look up and say no to, but again are the same as last year and at least TSP (Thrift Savings Plan) Turbotax ought to know is NOT one without asking me.      I don't recall encountering this hurdle in previous years.

On the W-2 that your wife got from her employer, there should be a code or abbreviation before the number in box 14. What is the code or abbreviation? If there is just a number, with no code or abbreviation, the W-2 is not filled out correctly. In that case, your wife has to ask her employer for a corrected W-2. Some of the codes in box 14 are specific to a state. What state did your wife work in? There are no standard rules for what goes in box 14, and no standard codes or abbreviations. The employer can put pretty much anything they want in there. If there is something you don't understand, your wife has to ask her employer what it means.  

Can you take a screenshot (picture) and post it?  I can't evaluate the issue without knowing where you are seeing it (which page, which format, etc.). If you can post a screenshot, I can send it for review. 

If you are having trouble e-filing your Georgia S-Corp tax return, please note that the Forms Availability Table indicates that many GA state forms won't be ready to e-file until February 20, 2026.   However, if you're unable to e-file your federal Form 1120S, it would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2025" file that is experiencing this issue for further testing. You can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information. If you would like to do this, here are the instructions:    Open your return and go to Online in the top menu, then choose "Send Tax File to Agent." You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click okay through this screen and then you will get a Token number. Reply to this thread with a screenshot of your Token number (this avoids Community filters for numbers with a dash) and tag (@) the Expert requesting the token from you. Please include any States that are part of your return - this is VERY important.   We will attempt to determine the cause of your experience and possibly provide you with a resolution.   @smabney  @user17710511098    [edited 2/16/2026 | 9:53 am PT]
