Once your return is accepted for processing by the IRS and/or State TurboTax has no control over the processing of your return and/or release of your refund. If you have any inquiries regarding any delay, you should contact the IRS or your state Department of revenue directly for further assistance.   How do I track my state's refund?  
It is an oddly worded question that is asking if the dependent paid for over half their own support.  You will want to say NO to that.

  Dear Forum, my Best friend and I have been using Turbotax 1040 Deluxe for many years to file our personal tax returns and family members' tax returns. I have 2 returns to file electronically. In the past I recall we could file up to 10 returns, but this year my partner tells me we are only allowed 5 electronic filed returns, and he has already filed 5! Is this true? If so, what is the charge for filing electronic returns in excess of 5? How do I do it. Quote in Turbotax Deluxe: "You've reached your e-file limit. The IRS only allows 5 returns to be e-filed with personal tax software." I suspect the IRS does not limit any personal tax software to 5 files. Is it a Turbotax restriction, or an IRS limitation? jC

I entered a 2024 Form 1099-R for a $20,000 distribution from my IRA. The 1099 shows a gross distribution of $20,000 and a taxable amount of the distribution of $20,000. The gross distribution shows up on line 4a of Form 1040, but the taxable amount on line 4b of Form 1040 shows a taxable amount of $0.00. Line 4b should show a taxable amount of $20,000. How can I get this corrected?
It is asking if the taxpayer (your dependent) has paid for more than half of their own living expenses.

Did you receive an email when it first got rejected? It looks like the 2nd email was delayed and you probably received it afterwards. If both federal and state show as accepted, you can disregard the other email. You can also check on the IRS and State Department of Revenue websites, as it might show that they have already received it.   Where's my Refund   How do I track my state's refund?

TurboTax and the IRS save returns for seven years and then they are gone.  You can try looking to see if you still have a 2017 return in a TT account, but chances are that it is gone even if you used TurboTax.     You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.    https://myturbotax.intuit.com/   Start a 2024 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/27010     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-2021-turbotax-online-return-pdf/L8dHfRkpT_US_en_US?uid=m5y4ch1y   Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx Account Recovery     Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/find-last-year-tax-data-file-tax-file-computer/L0XJvPaJr_US_en_US?uid=m6gufxei     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/data-systems/find-tax-data-file-mac/L4VNGm33S_US_en_US?uid=m6guhab0 You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf     You can probably still obtain an IRS transcript for 2017---I think they keep transcripts for up to ten years.

Me too. Usually I use TurboTax Deluxe but I had sold stock this year so I got Premier and it's been a nightmare. I believe the issue is with TurboTax and am considering an alternative next time I sell stock. Thankfully mine finally imported and I could finish my taxes. I wish you luck.
The first one - a part year resident return for each of the two states.   @hellotax1111

My 1099 - B Section 5 does not have a cost basis.  The fund sent me the summary from 2000 - 2025.  The only transaction I have from the yrs 2000 - 2012 were my automatic investments thru my employer.  I chose to adjust my cost basis to show my initial investment but it showed I owed more taxes.  The tax advisor at Turbo advised me to put a negative number but she sounded like she was guessing.  It did show I owed less taxes but is that correct?  I had read that the IRS doesn't accept negative numbers.

Thank you for  your response but my conclusion after walking through the query again with yours as reference is I still believe the software is making an error. My situation is that all interest is taxable at fed level, nothing non-taxable at fed level, only a portion is non-taxable for CT. The CT query is like yours, where it asks "..is any non-taxable in CT".  When i select Yes, the next screen asks you to enter the amount that is taxable (presumable this has to be what is taxable in CT).  I've experimented here and whatever value i put in that response, TT subtracts it from the gross on ct 1040 line 4. It should be subtracting the amount that is non-taxable in CT so I think the query wording is incorrect where it asks you to enter the taxable amount. in my screenshots, 1645 is total interest at fed level (245 is non-taxable treasury amount). Entering 1400 in the query (the taxable amount for CT) results in TT subtracting this amount from the CT gross.  I'm curious in your example, how did TT treat the $200 on the state form? query step 1 query step2 step2 response 1040 treatment of value entered in step 2
Q. Does the qualified go somewhere else? A. No. It's already everywhere it need to be.

I realized that I received a Tax rebate in Virginia for tax year 2022, check was mailed in 2023, but I didn't report it in my itemized 2023 tax report. It looks like if itemized my report VA requires that I report. Can I do that now in my 2024 report on turbotax online for this 2022/2023 tax rebate?
