If you efiled the federal return it is just sitting on Turbo Tax servers waiting for the IRS to open on Jan 26, 2026. You can't efile state until the federal has been accepted by the IRS.

Make sure your computer is the same way when you originally installed it. Like with no flash drives plugged in or plugged in if one was. Even a printer plugged in or not. It asked me again so I just closed the program and took out a flash drive that was plugged in and tried again. It worked.

Each tax year has to be filed separately using the forms for the specific tax year. They cannot be combined in any way--do not even put them in the same envelope when you mail them.
You cannot change the tax year. The current online program is for 2025 only. Only a 2025 return can be prepared online and only a 2025 return can be e-filed.
Online preparation and e-filing for 2022, 2023, and 2024 is permanently closed.
Note: The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac. It cannot be used on a mobile device.
To file a return for a prior tax year
If you need to prepare a return for 2022, 2023, or 2024 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign, and mail the return(s)

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.
Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

I sold my north woods vacation home in the year and did not use a broker. I entered the high-Level details under "investments--other" as suggested by a person I talked to at Turbo Tax. However, the program calls for the name of the broker. The help specialist indicated that i should type in "sale of second home" in this space." Wouldn't "None" be more appropriate? Also, the form does not include any of the details of the basis simply the adjusted cost. Shouldn't the purchase cost and subsequent improvements be detailed separately?

Sorry there is no one from TurboTax that can assist with a 2023 and 2024 tax return.
The TurboTax online editions are only for tax year 2025 and cannot be changed.
To complete and file a 2023 and 2024 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the desktop editions for each tax year required from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/
A 2023 and 2024 tax return can only be printed and mailed, they cannot be e-filed using TurboTax. Use a separate envelope when mailing each tax year.

Every time that I open the 2025 tax software I am having to put in the activation code. I only use one laptop so how do I stop this before I run out of activations?

What are you trying to use as the date? Keep in mind that the soonest your federal return can be accepted by the IRS is January 26 when the IRS opens, and your state return cannot be accepted until after the IRS accepts your federal return. Use a realistic date sometime in mid to later February.

Your tax refund was not sent to TurboTax. TurboTax does not handle your refund at all.
Santa Barbara Tax Products Group, LLC (SBTPG) is the bank that handles the Refund Processing Service when you choose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your refund. This option also has an additional charge from the bank that processes the transaction.
You can contact them SBTPG, toll-free, at 1-877-908-7228 or go to their secure website www.sbtpg.com
How can I see my TurboTax fees?

We cannot see your screen or your tax return. What did you "close" on? Did you purchase a house? Sell a house? Purchase or sell something else?
