I'm a bit confused. If you efiled your amendment you do not want to also mail your amendment. Can you clarify your situation? You can check the status of an amended return on the IRS Where's My Amended Return site, if that is helpful. 

Are you referring to an IRS payment? I'm confused on what payment you are referring to. It's possible your TurboTax Fees were taken out of your state refund amount.   If you want to check the debit date you specified, look on the filing instructions for your return.  It will tell you the debit date the IRS or State will deduct the payment.  If you did not print them out you can view them using the following steps:    If you filed using TurboTax Online, the Electronic Filing Instructions page will give that info.   Here's how to view the PDF copy: Sign in to TurboTax and open your return. On the Tax Home screen, scroll to Your tax returns & documents and select Add a State (don't worry, you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you into the right area) to access your tax forms and worksheets. In the menu, select Tax Tools, then Print Center. On the TurboTax Print Center screen, select Print, save or preview this year’s return. On the next TurboTax Print Center screen, select 2025 Federal return and Include government and TurboTax worksheets, then select View or print forms. The information will be on the first page, Electronic Filing Instructions, for your 2025 Federal Tax Return, next to Balance Due/Refund. TurboTax CD/Download  Go into Forms Mode by clicking on the Forms icon in the top right of the blue bar.   In the Forms in My Return list on the left, click Filing Inst.  [It's usually toward the bottom of the list.]  The form will appear on the right side of the screen. You can view the form on the screen or you can print a copy by clicking the Print box at the bottom of the screen. To return to the interview, click on the Step-By-Step icon in the top right of the blue bar.

It depends. To answer your question, IRC 125 is the federal rule that allows employers to offer “cafeteria plans,” which let you pay for certain benefits with pre‑tax dollars. These can include:   Medical FSA contributions  Dependent care FSA contributions Pre‑tax health insurance premiums Dental/vision premiums Transit/parking benefits (if run through the plan) Other employer‑specific pre‑tax benefit elections More than likely, the $5,034 on your W‑2 is not your FSA alone. It is the total of all your pre‑tax cafeteria‑plan deductions.    

What did you do last year to get past this?  It sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:   Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu. Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website. Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms. Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit." Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.   Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.

As xmasbaby 0 said, "The IRS guideline is that refunds are issued within 21 days," provided they are: Electronically filed  With Direct Deposit,  And provided there are no other issues.

In order to obtain a QMID (Qualified Manufacturer Identification Number), which is required on Form 5695 for products placed in service starting January 1, 2025, you can check the Manufacturer’s Certification Statement provided with your items if the contractor gave them to you or look it up on the manufacturer's website.   You could also call the manufacturer or the contractor and request they provide this to you.

TurboTax Desktop treats imported brokerage statements as belonging to the person whose Social Security number appears on the 1099‑B. For joint accounts, the 1099‑B typically lists only one SSN (the “primary” account holder), even though the account is jointly owned. Because of that:   TurboTax assumes the form belongs to that person.  The interview often does not offer an ownership dropdown for 1099‑B forms. Editing the form in the Step‑by‑Step interview usually does not reveal an ownership field. You found the solution but I will list it anyway for your own edification.   Open Capital Asset Sales Worksheet for that 1099‑B.  Find the field labeled “Owner” or “Taxpayer/Spouse/Joint”. Change it to: Joint (if filing MFJ and both spouses own the account), or Spouse (if the 1099‑B belongs to your spouse). This is the correct and intended method in the Desktop product.
