We were advised to contribute the max allowable amount to traditional IRA accounts in 2023, and complete a conversion (aka back door Roth IRA). However, in the same tax year, my husband withdrew and rolled over his retirement to a traditional IRA. My understanding is that the IRS considers the retirement accounts as one large pool and converting any portion of the IRA subjects his total to taxes. Our CPA did not catch this in 2023, which is a whole other issue (unless I'm wrong), but it's created a cluster for filing our taxes in 2024 and now 2025. I sent in the amount we owed, but have not been able to file 2024, so I'm actually looking for help on how to report everything. The CPA did not record the portion converted to Roth as excess, but he did report a basis for both of our taxpayer IDs because there were previous years we had contributed to Roth IRAs using after tax dollars, where we didn't document anything because the 5498 comes out way after the filing date. (Yes, this has been a series of missteps and learning opportunities.) Currently, I'm trying to determine what amounts should be entered into the taxable and nontaxable conversions boxes for Roth IRA contributions in tax year 2023. Because we already paid taxes, it seems the full portion that was converted to Roth IRA should be nontaxable. I'm tripping up on the 'excess contributions' amount. We didn't contribute more to the Roth than was allowed for that year, and amount we rolled over from the 401k still lives in the traditional IRA. Can someone confirm whether I am on the right track? Also, what's the best way to resolve all of the past tax years - start with an amended 2023 return, then file 2024 and 2025?

Your refund? When will I get my federal tax refund?
First, you can check your e-file status. It’ll either be pending, accepted, or rejected.
If it's been accepted, track your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site.
You'll need your Social Security number or ITIN, filing status, and the exact amount of your refund to check your status. You'll find this on the first screen after you sign in to TurboTax.
If you mailed your return, wait 4 weeks after mailing your return before using the tool.
If it's rejected, fix your return and file it again.
If it's pending, wait until your return is accepted.
If it's been more than 21 days since your e-filed return was accepted, you can call the IRS to check on your refund status. Once the IRS has accepted your return, TurboTax can’t provide updates on where your refund is at.
Go here to track your state refund.

In the personal info section. You will be asked if you CAN be claimed as a dependent. If you answer yes, you will then be asked if you will be claimed. Answer no.
There's a new urban myth among college students that says they can get a $1000 from the government just for filing a tax form. For most of them, they simply aren't eligible. A full time unmarried student, under age 24, even if you don't qualify as a dependent, is only eligible for the refundable portion of the American Opportunity Credit if he supports himself by working. You cannot be supporting yourself on parental support, 529 plans or student loans & grants. It is usually best if the parent claims that credit.
.Reference: Line 7 instructions for form 8863.
Here's a post on the five main points on form 1098-T:

My first guess is the state review and your state section on the w2G has something entered but not enough. All state fields blank or filled is best.
Double check your type of wager. Sometimes federal tax is withheld that doesn't match up.
Double check the payer ID is xx-xxxxxxx. Any extra spaces or characters can cause trouble.
If none of that helps, tell us the issue. What does the review ask? What is it showing you? What box is highlighted on the form? Is this for federal or state? Which state?
If you need extra time, filing an extension by April 15, 2026, moves your submission deadline to October 15. But remember any taxes owed are still due in full by the original April 15 date. Pay through either Direct Pay or your individual online account. See if you need to file a state extension.
