Maybe you are waiting for some forms.  Click Review to see if you are missing some forms needed in order to e-file.   Many federal and state forms are not yet available.  Check here for form availability. The dates are subject to change.   Tax form availability tool     Be patient.    IF you e-file now, your return will go into “pending” until the IRS starts to accept/reject returns in late January. You cannot make any changes while the return is on the server. The IRS will start to accept/reject 2025 e-files on January 26.   And….a state return cannot be accepted until after the IRS accepts your federal return.         https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-announces-first-day-of-2026-filing-season-online-tools-and

Hay varios quadros por "No soy robot", pero normalments colocas el cursor sobre la casilla y haz clic.   Es decir, no debes poner qualiquier cosa EN la casilla, pero es suficiente hacer clic en la casilla.   Si esto no te sirve, cerra TurboTax y reinicia la computadora y después TurboTax.

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  

If your only income for 2025 was Social Security, you are not required to file a tax return unless you have a 1095A for marketplace health insurance.     Who has to file? http://www.irs.gov/uac/Do-I-Need-to-File-a-Tax-Return%3F  

If you and your ex filed separate returns for 2023, you do not have access to his account or user ID and you cannot get a copy of his 2023 tax return on your own.   You can ask your attorney for help if you need a copy.

Does he get ssi or Social Security SSA-1099?   ssi is for Supplemental Security Income not Social Security. You do not get a SSA-1099 for ssi. You do not report ssi at all.  You enrter it the same place as yours.     Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099 under Federal Taxes (Personal for Home&Business) Wages and Income Then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security Then the second line - Social Security (SSA-1099. RRB-1099) - click the Start or Revisit button On the SSA- 1099 entry screen, if you are married there will be 2 columns, one for each spouse. If it doesn't show 2 columns then go back to My Info or Personal and edit the primary spouse to make sure you checked married and filing together.      

I saw in TurboTax Home and Business today when I clicked on the ? that this was displayed "COMING SOON: We’re working on a new tool to help you look up the fair market value of your item. We expect it to be ready soon, but you can file without it."

That's the ONLY reason a for-profit corporation exists; the officers are accountable to the members of the board who, in turn, are responsible to the shareholders.   Can't beat 'em? Join 'em....buy shares of Intuit and Microsoft. I don't understand how all the effort that M$ put into their Windows 11 "upgrade" has actually saved them any expenses.  As I said previously, there are other ways to reduce technical debt that don't involve willy-nilly removing features and incorporating adware and pissing off their customers.  But I guess that's just me (and the OP of this thread, and everyone else I know that is being forced to move from Windows 10 to 11...)   I can't honestly hold capital stock in a company that I no longer recognize as providing a product that most people actually want.  However I suppose could sell covered calls and cash covered puts on MSFT as it's still a well-regarded (in the financial industry at least) large cap stock.  At least I could make money that way short-term without dealing with the moral issues of being a long term bag holder.   I definitely won't be holding INTU or speculating on it in any way.  There are other places I can put my money without holding a grudge on how the company spends the money it acquired from issuing that stock...
