It's now  2026 and this problem still exists.     I just filed my Taxes using the Turbotax for 2025 filing season.     The IRS has informed me that  I owe additional tax.    So,  this issue  still has not been fixed!!!! It should default the other way. I am sure that 99%+  customers live inside the US   TurboTax determined none of my  SS income was taxable.  ( Reason it defaulted to my living out of the country) I never saw this question.    

Thanks @pk . Actually I landed in US on 2nd Jul'25. Prior to this, between 1st Jan'25 - 1st Jul'25, I don't have any US income. Should I still file 1040-NR!? Likewise between 2nd Jul'25 - 31st Dec'25 I don't have any income in Canada. So while filing my tax return in Canada, assume I don't have to declare any income in US. It's bit overwhelming as I have different views from multiple sources.  

what did you import? it is possible to create a wash sale in 2026 that affects 2025     for example,  on 12/15/25 you sell stock X at a loss. On 1/10/2026, you buy more shares of stock X. you have just created a wash sale on the 2025 sale of stock X 

You can use the Gross Receipts rate.   New Mexico doesn't have a traditional sales tax.   Instead, they use Gross Receipts but it works the same as sales tax for tax purposes.   So, you are in the right spot!  

You qualify for the AOTC if you haven't completed the first 4 years of postsecondary education as of the beginning of the tax year. It's based on your academic level, not total credits earned. Since you’re still working on your first bachelor’s degree and haven’t finished it, you likely meet that requirement, even with extra credits.   See the following articles for more information:   Tax Benefits for Education   Education credits: Questions and answers              

what was changed  - the direct deposit info? this is normal if you asked for your fees or got an advance. The refund goes to a third-party bank to reimburse turbotax. Then this bank does a direct deposit for the remainder using the info you originaly entered. 

DawnC,   Thank you for your answer! It is now making sense to me. However, the link you pointed me to was for NM's Gross Receipts Tax and I can find all of the Gross Receipts Tax for all the counties of NM. But, as I understand it, Gross Receipts Tax and Sales tax are not the same thing. Or at least not necessarily the same thing. I did try searching for NM Sales tax but kept getting links to NM Gross Receipts Tax. Am I looking in the wrong place? Or do I use the NM Gross Receipts Tax?

It's March 25 and I'm still not able to file because of this bug. I've deleted the forms again and now at the review stage, I'm getting an error for the question "Did you install improvements or replacements for enabling property?" -  "must be checked when any enabled property code (A-G) is selected."    Under "Improvements or replacements installed for enabling property", I've selected "Windows and skylights" because that's the only one I've upgraded (and it forces me to select one), but it's also complaining that I ned to enter a value for "Total cost you paid for all materials", even though it's under the section about panelboards, subpanelboards, branch circuits, or feeders, which I have not installed.    This lack of support is driving me crazy. I don't know what to do here aside from abandoning Turbotax and starting over somewhere else.

Thank you! Think I've got it. So it's not the case that the income earned in the non-resident state is not taxable in NY (or NYC) - it is fully subject to tax in NY but the tax is reduced by any tax that was paid to the non-resident state - correct?

If you have taken your required RMD, in order to not be incorrectly assessed a penalty on Form 5329, when entering your 1099-R, in the follow-up screens, indicate the amount of your RMD to be the  entire distribution amount, and that 'entire distribution is RMD.'   Neither TurboTax nor the IRS knows what your RMD should be, and the IRS expects that you and your plan administrator assure that the amount is distributed to you.  A penalty would be assessed in only rare instances.    Delete your 1099-R Worksheet(s) and Form 5329 in FORMS, and re-enter your 1099-R's using this method.  If using TurboTax Online, clear your Cache and Cookies after deleting, before re-entering.   @SteveKathleen 

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/    Sometimes people get confused by the “summary” given by TurboTax and use the wrong amount for the federal refund.  Make sure you are only using the federal refund amount, and not an amount that combined your federal and state refunds.     Your federal refund amount is on line 35a of your Form 1040

Paying your fee to TurboTax did not file your tax return.   Did you go all the way through the FILE section to the big orange button that said "Transmit my returns now?"   If you did not do that, then your return was not e-filed.      If you did not file it, the only way to file it now is by mail.  You will need to print it, sign and date it in ink, and mail it.   What does it say in your account for 2022? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx       DID YOU E-FILE?   Did you e-file?   Did you go through all three steps of the FILE section and click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”     When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted  or rejected your federal e-file.  If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.      What does it say in your account?  Does it show that the 2022 return was accepted?   Or does it say something else---like "rejected," "printed," or "ready to mail?”   If you discover or realize that your e-file was rejected, or just never filed, you will need to print it, sign and date it in ink, and file it by mail now, since e-filing is closed for returns for tax year 2022.
