There could be a couple of reasons why you might be experiencing a delay:   1. First, the status might be pending for security reasons. This can take up to 72 hours, after which your return will then be forwarded to the IRS, or if applicable, rejected. If rejected, you can then correct the rejection issue and resubmit. Please see this FAQ for reference.   2. Secondly, there could be a delay if your return has various refundable credits, such as the Earned Income Credit, Investment Credit, Energy Credits, or Business Credits. You may need to wait a few more days and check your filing status again. Please see this FAQ for additional information.   Note: Both instances may be applicable. That is, you could have a hold for security reasons first. And additionally for verification of the refundable credits in your return. In this case, delays might extend beyond 72 hours.

Whatever way you agree.  Ideally, that would be decided in your divorce agreement.  If you live in a community property state, there is a date when the marital community ended, it might be the divorce date, or separation date, or something else.  You probably need to divide dividends from before the end of the community 50/50, and you would divide the dividends from after that date according to your divorce agreement. 

Yes.  This would be an eligible itemized medical expense.  Medical expenses are deductible for the amount that is above 7.5% of your AGI.  This means if your AGI is $50,000, medical expenses that are over $3,750 are deductible as part of the itemize expenses.    Itemized expenses also include mortgage interest, gambling losses within limitations, charitable contributions, state and local taxes up to $40,000,  and federally declared casualty and losses.     Then your total itemized expenses would need to be greater than your standard deduction below in order to benefit from your expenses.  The 2025 Standard Deductions are as follows: Married Filing Joint (MFJ)              $31,500 Married Filing Separate (MFS)      $15,750 Head of Household (HOH)             $23,625  Single                                                 $15,750                                 Blind or over 65 and MFJ or MFS add $1,600 Single or HOH if blind or over 65 add $2.000 Standard Deduction vs. Itemized Deductions: Which Is Better?  

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.
