To check on regular tax refund status via automated phone, call 800-829-1954.   Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities.  There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.   TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.      First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.     You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds   To track your state refund:     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr   If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refunds-take-longer-others/L14YlqFrH_US_en_US?uid=lexdr7zh . https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/irs-refund-taking-longer-21-days/L2vRAJbdU_US_en_US?uid=lexe7lst

@swick here is the issue   the question will come up in stepxstep view in the Desktop version, but that section is not available yet.  I can see the screen in the 2024 version, but not in 2025.    As a work around, go into Forms View and open up Schedule C.  Enter the Self-Employed Heath Insurance adjustment in Box 15.  That will link to form 7206 and end up on form 1040.

See https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/loans/whats-turbotax-flex-advance/L2Xg6I...   You'll probably have to call the number listed on that site. I don't think anyone here can assist you with this issue.

By "someone"  did your taxes---who do you mean?   Did you use an online TurboTax "expert" or do you mean a friend or family member prepared your tax return?   If a friend or family member used TT, then you need them to tell you the account and user ID they used, or get them to print out copies for you.   If you mean you used a TT "expert"--   You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.    https://myturbotax.intuit.com/       https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/27010     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-2021-turbotax-online-return-pdf/L8dHfRkpT_US_en_US?uid=m5y4ch1y   Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx Account Recovery     Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/find-last-year-tax-data-file-tax-file-computer/L0XJvPaJr_US_en_US?uid=m6gufxei     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/data-systems/find-tax-data-file-mac/L4VNGm33S_US_en_US?uid=m6guhab0 You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf       SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !

@user17636035548  First thank you for your post with all the answers to my questions. Second, please accept my apologies for delayed response.  Part of the delay is my struggle with  unclear directions from the form 8938 instructions. While I recognize that despite  Under  model 1/2 IGA between US and UK there  is no requirement for the UK pension admin / trust to report  the holding to the US-IRS/ Treasury. However, this does not  abate the requirement for the beneficiary/ pensioner from reporting under FATCA regs.  The question then  ( and because of the distributed/ contorted information gathering on the form )  is how to report this "pension " account.   If one looks at IRC section  1471-5 for definitions used  in FATCA regs, I am more inclined to report a pension account like an annuity i.e. under custodial account .  This is in contrast to your information of reporting as a trust ( see definition in the above ref 26.USC 1471-5... ). Since the whole idea of FATCA is to detect/ avoid money laundering through  "specified foreign  financial assets/ accounts",   all one is required to do is generally report the holding but generally under  headings as defined  under section ref'd above.  So my view is  to report the pension account as a custodial account. The pension fund is holding your monies ( your contribution & that of your employer ) and investing and growing for future "annuity" type of payment to you as beneficiary.   This would mean that  line 20 -- Custodial;  line 21 -- is  your account identification  at the pension fund admin 26a -- Name of the fund admin;  26b is blank or  the IGA model  1 or 2 ( as the case may be ) I do not agree that this should be reported as a trust where you own a specific share etc.   That is my take on this.  Is there more I can do for you ?

Did you already get your 1095A for 2025?   And using the Desktop program?   The program probably needs updating.   Most sections aren’t ready yet.   I found this article but it just says where to enter the 1095-A but doesn’t say exactly where to indicate it’s for self employment.      Where to enter a 1095-A for self employment https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/enter-health-insurance-premiums-turbotax-home-self/L59djSwe7_US_en_US

One company bought the other company. Yes, I am aware I will get different w-2s. I'm specifically worried about my gross being $15,000 more and how that may effect my taxes, tax brackets, taxes I may have to pay back, etc.
