I use the website. I have tried clearing my cache and cookies on 2 different browsers (safari and chrome) and it doesn't work on either. I've never had to file a NH return before because we don't have state income taxes and aren't taxed on interest or dividends as of 1-1-25, so I don't even have anything to claim. After I put in my state, I didn't have to put in any other information.

Si tu LLC no ha comenzado operaciones en 2025, generalmente no reportas ingresos ni gastos de negocio ese año en tu declaración federal. Para tu LLC: 1. No reportes ingresos ni deducciones relacionadas al negocio si no hay actividad. 2. Si es una LLC de un solo miembro y es una entidad ignorada para impuestos, no reportas actividad comercial en Schedule C. 3. Si es una LLC con varios miembros, y no hubo actividad, normalmente no presentas Formulario 1065, pero verifica si tu estado requiere alguna presentación. Es importante mantener documentos que evidencien que el negocio no operó ese año. Esto ayuda si el IRS pregunta más tarde.

If you are married you cannot file as single. If entering NRA did not work did  you put a check mark in the box that says My spouse is a Non-Resident alien in the My info section. When you get to the end and try to transmit the return, ignore the e-file errors regarding your NRA spouse and select transmit your return. If that does not work you will need to print and mail your return and write NRA (Non Resident Alien) in the space for her SSN. When you print your return, the instructions for mailing your return will be printed on the cover sheet of your return.       If your spouse chooses to be treated as an US Citizen for tax purposes, and you want to file as Married Filing Joint, you would need to include their income on your return. If you choose filing jointly, and they do not already have a SSN or ITIN, you will need to print and mail your return along with the W-7 and any other required documents to IRS ITIN Operation P.O. Box 149342 Austin, TX 78714-9342   The benefit to filing as Married Filing Jointly with a spouse that has no income is that your standard deduction is increased to $31,500 instead of $15,750 and you are not excluded from several of the credits.  So depending on your current tax situation and his worldwide income, it may benefit you to include him on your return.   Married Filing Joint versus Separate   If you are maintaining a household for a qualified dependent, and you do not choose to treat your non resident alien spouse as a resident alien, you may be able to file as head of household and then you would not need to include him on your return.  To qualify, you have to meet certain criteria.

Yes, especially for mystery shopping trips involving meals.  Do not enter those as a meal expense under Schedule C because they will only be deducted up to 50%.     The best place would be under Miscellaneous Expenses where you can enter your own description and amount.  You could enter something like 'out of pocket mystery shop expense' and the amount.  Be sure to keep detailed records for your own information to track the total amount that you enter.   @Regal23

You would enter this in as an "other adjustment" in the Arizona state section of the return. What this will do is add $168 of taxable income to your Arizona return but will not impact your federal return.    @Wedding5500 

Once your return has been accepted, TurboTax receives no information from the IRS about the processing of your return and the issue of your refund.   You can track your Federal tax refund at this IRS webpage.

baldietax makes a good point.  If you are doing a backdoor Roth, you do not  recharacterize from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA at all.  You convert funds from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA and that conversion is reportable on the tax return for the year in which you perform a conversion.

If you had Live Expert Assist in preparing your income tax return, re-enter your tax return and click on Get Expert Help in the upper right hand corner.   With an IRS CP12 notice, the IRS has corrected one or more mistakes on your tax return.

You would just report the total net profit of $500.  This would be reported as other income on Schedule 1 line 8z.    To do this in TurboTax select the following: Federal Income Less Common Income Miscellaneous Income Other Reportable Income

All of the income reported on the Form 1099-MISC for reimbursements should be reported as income on your Schedule C for the mystery shopping work.  Additionally, the other income you mentioned will also be reported as Schedule C income.     Then, you would enter the amounts that you spent as business expenses.  That way, the reimbursement is not being taxed, but it is being reported on your return.     You will find the Schedule C section under the Business tab at the top of the screen using the Home and Business desktop version of TurboTax.
