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.   If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...   After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

Yes.  I actually did tried that.  Like minds think alike  🐵   Her name in 2024 showed her first and middle names both in the First Name box and the M.I. box was blank.  I fixed that (2024) and saved.  I then tried to transfer again and got stuck at the same spot.  Neither member showed up so I added myself and then tried to add Cindy and it immediately responds "Was the a change of ownership in 2025?"  I say no and then it stops me as if I am stealing bubble gum from Walmart....

The return that gets e-filed the IRS doesn't have fields for the cents - TurboTax will automatically round off any cents amounts reported to dollar amounts.  This follows instructions from the IRS - the following is on page 23 of the instructions for Form 1040:   "Rounding Off to Whole Dollars You can round off cents to whole dollars on your return and schedules. If you do round to whole dollars, you must round all amounts. To round, drop amounts under 50 cents and increase amounts from 50 to 99 cents to the next dollar. For example, $1.39 becomes $1 and $2.50 becomes $3. If you have to add two or more amounts to figure the amount to enter on a line, include cents when adding the amounts and round off only the total. If you are entering amounts that include cents, make sure to include the decimal point. There is no cents column on the form."

If she earned more than $5200 in 2025 she cannot be claimed as anyone else's dependent.  She is too old to be a qualifying child dependent and if she had more than $5200 of income --not counting any Social Security-- she cannot be a qualifying relative dependent.

No.   As she is 24 and only a part-time student, and works full time with a gross income of more than $5,200, you cannot claim her as a dependent.   Please read this TurboTax article on Who Can I Claim as a Tax dependent?  

TurboTax is using the correct amount. The rules for the standard deduction do not apply to the deduction for seniors. IRC Section 151(d)(5)(C)(iii)(I) says "In the case of any taxpayer for any taxable year, the $6,000 amount in clause (i) shall be reduced (but not below zero) by 6 percent of so much of the taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income as exceeds $75,000 ($150,000 in the case of a joint return)." Filing as QSS is not a joint return. The IRS instructions for Schedule 1-A Part V (on page 110 of the Instructions for Form 1040) say: "The $6,000 per person amount is reduced if your MAGI is more than the amount shown next for your filing status. • Married filing jointly—$150,000. • Single, Head of household, or Qualifying surviving spouse—$75,000."  

TurboTax Online and the mobile app are only available for the current tax year.    To file a prior-year tax return for 2023 and 2024, you will need to purchase and download that year's software File your 2023 and 2024 taxes  To prepare a prior year return see the link below: How do I file a prior-year tax return? Then, print, sign, and mail your return to the IRS. Be aware that you can not combine prior years income with your 2025. You need to prepare a separate tax return for each year that corresponds to those specific W-2.  

I think you mean you have a business loss but it is not showing as deductible on your return. It could be that you indicated that you were not materially involved with the business or you weren't sufficiently "at risk" in the business. Either one of these situations would prevent you from being able to deduct your business loss. You can check this by going back into your business entries.   To check on the "at risk" issue, edit your business entries and on the screen that says Your (name of business) Business, choose the option for Special Situations which is under Final Details. On the next screen that says Do you have any of these other business situations? see the option that says I have money invested in this business that I am not at risk of losing etc... If that option is checked, you need to uncheck it if that doesn't apply to you.   For the material participation issue, go back to the screen that says My (name of business) Business and update your Business Profile. On the next screen, see if the Actively participates option says "no" and if so, edit that response to indicate "yes" if that applies to you.      

I figured it out. It just wants the first THREE from your document ID. I found it quite confusing and discovered the solution on a Reddit thread. I hope this helps folks with NY drivers licenses!   Example: Doc# RTJLWBNV0S You'd put: RTJ   Hope that helps
