The IRS issues most refunds within 21 days if filed electronically. 4–6 weeks if filed on paper, assuming that there's no delay and nothing is holding your return.  Even though the IRS has already sent the funds, the bank may take up to 5-business days to process and deposit into your account   You should track your refund directly from the IRS Website. These websites have the most accurate and up to date information.  Where's my Refund  

From working with Inuit support, it sounds like this is an unsupported/unimplemented feature in TurboTax online at any feature level.  So, what I have to do is: Switch to paper filing instead of e-filing. Download the 1040 and schedules. Manually transcribe the information from the Turbo Tax 1040 plus schedule 2 onto a 1040 plus schedule 2, updating the items that need to be updated. Complete the 5329 as needed. Submit the new 1040, schedule 2, and 5329 along with the other schedules. What a mess.

Not unless you pay for it.  Your daughter is paying for utilities on her home.  That's not deductible to her or you.   Also, you should be entering rental expenses as a percentage of the rented home.  At this point you said that you are deducting repair expenses.  You should be deducting expenses at the rate of the percentage of the house that is being rented by the roommate.  if she's using 50% of the house then 50% of all your expenses are deductible and so on.  The rest of the house is just a second home where your daughter lives.

Thank you for confirming that. Unfortunately, TurboTax includes an NOL deduction with out limiting it to 80%.  I did not understand that I needed to calculate how much of the NOL deduction I could include, so I entered the entire amount.  Now I have to redo two years of past returns (and may have to pay someone else to do it) in order to correctly claim the NOL deduction correctly.

TurboTax does not receive any kind of tax refund, federal or state.   If you requested to have the TurboTax account fees deducted from your federal tax refund, the IRS will send the refund to a third party processor to have the fees and the $40 service charge deducted. The third party processor will deduct the TurboTax fees plus the $40 service charge and then attempt to direct deposit the remaining refund balance into the account that you entered on your tax return. For the status of your tax refund you will need to contact the third party processor, Santa Barbara Tax Product Group, using their website - https://www.sbtpg.com/ Tax Products Group Contact Information - https://help.sbtpg.com/hc/en-us/articles/230084587-Contact-Information Call 1-877-908-7228 Or email - TPG-CSsupport@greendotcorp.com

If you a self-employed sole proprietor for your business and have not incorporated then you need complete the Schedule C which is included with your personal tax return. You need to amend the tax return that you filed to add Schedule C.   See this for self-employed income - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/self-employed/help/how-do-i-report-income-from-self-employment/01/26653?search-action-id=617583741422&search-result-uid=26653 See this for self-employed expenses - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/self-employed/help/what-self-employed-expenses-can-i-deduct/01/25566?search-action-id=617583117703&search-result-uid=25566   An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 12 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
