Did you already e-file? Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my return now?”  If you did that, you cannot do anything to fix it yet.  You have to wait for the email that tells you if your return was accepted or rejected.   Since the IRS will not begin to accept/reject returns until January 26, you are going to be waiting in “pending” for awhile.  Your return is sitting on a server, where you cannot fix  it or get it back.   You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.     If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed   The Form 1040X you need becomes available in late February,  But wait until your return has been processed.  

Just wanted to point out that while the online products incur a separate charge for state, as pointed out by @DoninGA, the desktop products that include a free state incur a separate charge for e-filing the state (e-filing federal is free but e-filing state is not).

We’ve already sent 100s of screenshots! Nobody who was accepted before 1/21 received ANY emails after “the irs accepted your return”. Any. At all, none.  We are exhausted from repeating ourselves. Simply look at your social media. This is ridiculous and something your “specialized team” has already told us won’t resolve until after 1/26.  Which was directly shared with the attorney contacting FTC. 

I want to make sure we get this sorted out as quickly as possible. To help the specialized team I'm working with investigate this, I need to provide them with your order details (a screenshot works great!).   Additionally, please let me know if you’ve seen any updates in your inbox from TurboTax, Credit Karma, or WebBank. These details are the 'missing link' I need to get you a definitive answer.

The instructions for Form 941 say on page 5:   If Your Business Has Closed . . .    If you permanently go out of business or stop paying wages to your employees, you must file a final return. To tell the IRS that Form 941 for a particular quarter is your final return, check the box on line 17 and enter the final date you paid wages. Also attach a statement to your return showing the name of the person keeping the payroll records and the address where those records will be kept.

I see that Pennsylvania does not have an estate tax but does have an inheritance tax.    "Inheritance tax is imposed as a percentage of the value of a decedent's estate transferred to beneficiaries by will, heirs by intestacy and transferees by operation of law. The tax rate varies depending on the relationship of the heir to the decedent." The rates for Pennsylvania inheritance tax are as follows:   0 percent on transfers to a surviving spouse or to a parent from a child aged 21 or younger; 4.5 percent on transfers to direct descendants and lineal heirs; 12 percent on transfers to siblings; and 15 percent on transfers to other heirs, except charitable organizations, exempt institutions and government entities exempt from tax. Of course, I do not know what you saw in Community, but I imagine that this is what the letter from the state is referring to.

https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product... shows the Residential Energy Credits is now available, I just updated Turbotax to WinPerRelease 025 . 000 . 0230 [Funny that your forum sees your version # as a phone #] and I still can't access it.  Any Updates?

@Féline , thank you for your answers to my Qs. What is clear from your answers: (1) for 2024  tax year you were  NRA and should have used form 1040-NR for filing a return --- actual tax liability ( assuming that your only US income was from wages ) and refunds if any , would not be any different. (2) for 2025, again you are NRA, need to file using form 1040-NR  ( Please use an on-line service like SprinTax ).  You cannot use TurboTax ---- talk / chat with TurboTax customer service to get your monies back ( for  service that they cannot provide ).  TurboTax does not support the form 1040-NR Even if the IRS  did not catch the error in filing ( i.e. using 1040 instead of 1040-NR ), it is still wrongly filed. Is there more I can do for you?
