@AmyC wrote: The IRS is sending the QMID letters to everyone using any software with anything looking like ones and zeroes.     I could be wrong, but I suspect you are wrong about that.  They may be sending letters to anybody that used software that did NOT follow the directions that the IRS about "I" and "O" (don't fill out the form but include an attachment), which includes TurboTax, but it seems unlikely that the IRS is sending notices to people who used software that actually did it according to how the IRS wanted it.  In my opinion, it is Intuit who really dropped the ball on this one.  

If you have a 6 digit PIN issued to you by the IRS you need to enter it in order to e-file.  Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Return Info>Identity Protection PIN and enter the six-digit PIN.  

It can take several days for your account to be debited for a payment, but it's considered paid when you filed.  Check the Filing Instructions page in your saved PDF copy to verify how you chose to pay/receive your refund.   If you Efiled, you would have received an email from TurboTax when your return was Accepted. Since you see 'ready to mail' your return may not be been successfully Efiled.  Here's how to Check Efile Status.   @justinsix0208 

To enter, edit or delete a 6 digit IP PIN Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business) Click on Other Tax Situations Scroll down to Other Return Info On Identity Protection PIN, click the start button

It depends whether the investment was held long or short term or both. If both then two entries must be completed. See the holding periods below. If only one or the other for both transactions you can summarize one entry.   Holding Periods: Long term is a holding period of more than one year (one year plus one day) and receives capital gain tax treatment (0%, 10%, 15%, 20% depending on your regular rate of tax) Short term is a holding period of one year or less and receives ordinary gain tax treatment (your regular rate) @user17762346430
