@Inugasuki , don't understand  how you can have general category ( wages ) as part of your resourced by treaty.  Please explain.  Because the general principle is the wages / active income are sourced where work is performed -- thus if you are working on-line or otherwise for an entity in the US but  living / tax-home in Portugal, that income is Portugal sourced. Please explain the situation you are ref'rng.   pk

Not sure what you are doing to choose the method of receiving your refund.    You are supposed to do that in step 2 of  of the FILE section in your TurboTax return.     You have to go to Step 2 in the FILE section.   HOW TO CHANGE OR ENTER BANKING INFORMATION FOR REFUND https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/change-transferred-direct-deposit-information/L77NCbU6D_US_en_US?uid=m6tuh572     You cannot  change banking information while your return is in pending, nor can you change it after the return is accepted.  The IRS does not allow it.  

You might need to click on Add a State in order to get back into the software to make changes.  You do not really have to add a state return but that trick will get you back into the return.   Then add the 1099B or make whatever changes you need to make before you print the return for filing.   Is there some reason you want to file by mail instead of e-filing?

No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/contact-turbotax/L2y9ZKpQB_US_en_US?uid=m5s9l2vh

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  

@bkrett01   You post the token number in a reply so they can look it up.  It is safe, it's only the number.   This creates an anonymous copy of your file which is stripped of your Personal Info and uploads it to a diagnostic database for tech support so they can look it up.     If the forum filter removes it you can post a screen shot of it.  

Thanks for asking this question, and for the helpful answers!  I've been trying to find this exact same answer for my own first RMD in 2025!  (I'll be turning 73 by the middle of the year.  I typically make my annual 401K withdrawal in January.  I was trying to confirm that my January withdrawal (at age 72-1/2 LOL) was going to count!)  Thank you again.  

Q.  Can he itemize these taxes, on his federal tax return,  under the new $40,000 SALT tax law even though he is no longer a resident of MD? A. Yes. But, that is only an itemized deduction. Your total itemized deductions must total more than your standard deduction (Single: $15,750; head of household: $23,625; and married filing jointly: $31,500) for that to do you any good.    The 8% assessed at the real estate closing is not the actual tax due on the sale.  It is only required state income tax withholding (a rough estimate of the tax due).  Your father needs to file a MD non resident income tax return for 2025 to calculated the actual tax.  He will most likely get a refund of some of the withholding.   Both the federal and state income tax rules allow an exclusion on the capital gain (up to $250K, $500K married) on the sale of your primary residence.  However to qualify, the home must have been you primary residence for 2 out of the 5 years prior to the sale. Since he " is a resident of Florida and has been for over five years", he most likely doesn't qualify for the exclusion.
