The address at the top of page 1 of the 1040 is the address the IRS will use to send any correspondence to if they need to communicate with you.    If you are talking about your address on the 1040-V, that address is less important - what is important is your name and Social Security number.

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS/State 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?

Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.   If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...   See this for how to contact your state department of revenue - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/help/how-do-i-contact-my-state-department-of-revenue/01/25573?search-action-id=623337587815&search-result-uid=25573

1)  Yes, i verified that all 6 Idaho properties have the box checked for "Qualified Business Income" entity.   The federal return shows QBI income from these properties correctly on form 899A, and on the "QBI component (Enterprise #1)" form, and on the "QBI component Ded Summary" form. 2)  How do I check "if the software has categorized my income as passive without a business designation?   Why could this only be happening on the Idaho return and not on the federal return?  The screenshot in my original post shows that the Idaho interview question about the source of my QBI income, and it clearly shows that TurboTax is listing a "federal amount" of 0 for my Qualified business income, and this 0 amount is not something that it will let me edit.  Where exactly is turbo tax getting this number from? 3) Federal Form 8995A (1) is correctly populated and filled out.   Even in forms mode, I can't edit or fix the federal amount of QBI on the Idaho state forms and worksheets without using the "override" function. I don't want to use the "override" function and then have to paper file forms.  I would like to get to the root cause of this problem, and if it is a bug in the software (Which I think it is), then I would like it to be fixed.  Thank you.
