here's a link to its 2024 tax booklet and i don't see what you mention anywhere. file:///C:/Users/MIKE/Downloads/Cedar%20Fair%20L.P.%202024%20Tax%20Instruction%20Booklet.pdf      CF is a Publicly traded partnership and PTPs don't report income/losses on form 8582.   

I don't think you're going to see much implementation of the 25 new tax laws in the 24 program - what if section for 25, other than known changes like the old standard deduction. most of the change affect tax credits and itemized deductions /standard deduction which have no effect on MGI. the items affecting magi the the tip deduction - will that affect MAGI or just taxable income. the same with overtime . there will be a charitable deduction for non-itemizers and bonus depreciation will be 100% subject to certain restrictions Before these changes can be implemented for Turbotax 2025, IRS has to write the regulations of how these changes are to be implemented/work.  

Only the IRS knows what all it is doing with your return.   Here are some things to check:   First, you need to be sure the return was successfully filed. It depends on how you chose to file the return.   If you filed a paper return by mail, TurboTax does not mail it for you.  If you chose that method, you would have had to print it, sign it, date it, and mail it yourself.  It takes at least 4 weeks for a mailed return to show up in the IRS WMR tool.     If you efiled, double-check to be sure the return was efiled successfully and accepted.  If you used Online TurboTax, you can sign into your Online Account and check the efile status at the Tax Home.   What word is used there for the status:  accepted, rejected, printed, started, ready to mail, or something else? If that showed it was accepted, (or if you mailed a paper return), you can use the "Where's My Refund" tool at the IRS website below to monitor the status of your Federal refund.   Is there any message there? https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund   Here are some tips when using that IRS tool:   Be sure you enter the correct tax year, SSN, and filing status. Be sure you are using only the Federal refund amount.   Do not include any state refund or any total refund or net refund (Fed and State) that TurboTax may have provided on a summary screen.   Look at your actual Federal return to get the Federal refund amount to use in the tool, i.e., your Form 1040, Line 35a.

Did you get a 1099R?   That is if you took a IRA or 401K or retirement withdrawal.   Or did a rollover.  Or got a pension or other reasons.    If you don’t know why you got one then ask the plan why.   Enter a 1099R under Federal Taxes Wages & Income Then scroll way down to Retirement Plans and Social Security Then IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) – Click Start

Just saw your last post.   My husband died in March 2023 and when I filed in 2024 it let me efile with him as primary with date of death.   Wonder why mine wasn’t rejected and locked.  I haven’t seen any other posts about that.   I’m in California too.   

Who died and when?  If it was in 2024 just leave the names as before.  You can’t change the order of names.    My husband died in 2023.   He was the primary on our Joint return.   I filed 2023 as normal Joint. For 2024 i filed as Single on a new return and did not transfer from 2023.  If you are using the Online version you need to set up a new account for yourself and not transfer from 2023.   You can file a Joint return the year your spouse died.  For the next two years following a husband's or wife's death, the surviving spouse can file as a QSS Qualifying Surviving Spouse if they have a qualifying child. That basically lets you continue to use the same tax brackets that apply to married-filing-jointly returns.  After the year of death if you don't have a child you file as Single.   TurboTax will not allow you to remove the primary taxpayer on the return. And you should not try to change the order of names.  If you were listed as the spouse and want to be the primary taxpayer now or delete the primary person, you will need to start a new return by logging out and starting over with a new account and new user name and password.  You will not be able to transfer from the prior year.
