Thanks for your response.  I am using Google Chrome and have also tried MS Edge.  So far nothing has changed on using either one.  Can you share the "steps" the support team gave you?  I am not having much luck getting thru to a "voice".  Thanks

Yes, if you already submitted your return, it is too late to request the 5DE offer.   If for some reason your return gets rejected, you will have a chance to resubmit the return.   But as long as it is pending or it gets accepted, you can no longer make changes.  

If your efile is rejected, you might be able to change it to that option.   There are 2 versions of the "up to 5 days early" product.   One is free if selected to go to a Credit Karma Moneyspend , or $35 if you want it to go to your own bank account.   Since it's "up to" 5 days early, sometimes it's only 1 day early.  Or if not early at all, it's not suppose to charge those who paid the $35.     The 5 days is based on once the IRS has approved the refund and scheduled it to be sent.

Turbo tax did exactly the same error on my 2025 return. Taxble  Social Security benefits were not calculated out on line 6b.  IRS made the correction so there is no need to amend the taxes. It is annoying though when you expect a refund of 2000 and end up paying 820.00_ TurboTax is supposed to refund me the cost I paid to process the filing. However their explanation of this calculation error was blamed on the 6000 extra deduction senior citizens receive this year seemed inadequate. They just need to fix their programming.

Finally the Amortization SW was released with over a month late!  But it doesn't work... The amortization of my vehicule used on my rental property doesn't work. The list of item to amortize do not include vehicule.   Can anyone help?   (Can't seem to be able to paste a screen capture on this ancient help plaform) Topic : Vehicule Amotization for Rental does not work

ADDENDUM Also, before filing, make sure your Federal estimated tax payments correctly show on the Form 1040, Line 26, and that any state estimated tax payments (if applicable) correctly show up on your state return.    Since state estimated tax payments are entered on the Federal side of the interview, you may have to go back to the state return interview to ensure the payments flow over to the state return.

  "5 days early" means you are supposed to receive your federal refund from one to five days sooner than the refund date shown on the IRS refund site.   If it does not meet that "at least one day sooner" date, they are supposed to refund the $35 fee.   You have to pay attention to the date on the IRS refund site. You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2025 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds
