TurboTax does not receive any kind of tax refund, federal or state.   Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities,  There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals.  Some states process returns quickly and some are very slow.   STATE RETURN Make sure your state return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   To track your state refund:       ttps://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0

My return is completed and I've purchased the online Premier subscription. I've used each of the 3 options included in the Print Center and neither option provides Form 2210 for viewing. I'm want to view the form so i understand how my underpayment penalty was calculated. 

There seems to be a bug in the software.  I have Intuit Turbotax Premier for desktop for tax year 2025.  I have completed the taxes and want to apply 100% of my refund to next year's taxes.  As I have been working on these taxes, my refund amount has varied several times.  The amount that I want to apply towards next year's tax bill currently appears to be frozen at the previous amount of refund, and I am no longer able to change the exact value of the refund which I want to apply to next year's tax bill.  Therefore, the additional refund is now being sent to me as a refund.  Can you help me?
