Hi, Going crazy here on tax day. I completed my much more complex tax filing and need to submit for my son. Every time I try to open a new file, with the expectation that it will load my sons tax data from 2023, ttax2024 crashes. I've tried uninstalling all the VC++ redistributable and runtimes, reinstalled turbotax, etc, several times without luck. I've never had problems like this in the past and this is very disappointing. I need this resolved asap. I am on win10. It worked ok for my tax file, just won't open any new files. thanks

Has anyone also feel like they weren't given the proper info for the IRS payment option for what is owed? My fiance filed this past weekend and opted for the payment plan. We don't recall having to select a "pay by check" option at the end. I figured this out AFTER having to google it and dig through other TurboTax forums. Today he had a lumpsum of money leave the bank, not knowing they were just going to pull the funds out. That wasn't an expense we could afford and now it's putting us in a rough situation. Why not be more upfront about that? It seems incredibly misleading and wrong. Not to mention, adding an additional 175 we had to pay as an "upgrade." Seems pretty slimey.

You will be emailed from the IRS regarding your payment plan for your 2024 taxes. The vouchers are for next year - you can toss them if you don't need them.
We'll automatically include four quarterly 1040-ES vouchers with your printout if you didn't withhold or pay enough tax this year. We do this to head off a possible underpayment penalty on next year's taxes.
You're not required to make estimated tax payments; we're just suggesting it based on the info in your return. If you feel they're not needed for next year's taxes, you can shred them.

The pending status means that your state return hasn't been accepted or rejected yet. It's not unusual for the state return to be in a pending status after the federal has been accepted. Because of the deadline, there's a backlog.
Please see the TurboTax article Why is my state e-file still pending?

Yes, you are correct. When you make the election to treat your nonresident alien spouse as a U.S. resident for federal tax purposes, that applies only to federal taxes—not state residency. Each state has its own residency rules, and Ohio does not automatically consider a spouse a resident just because they were treated as a U.S. resident for federal tax purposes.
For the Ohio state return, your selections should be:
Taxpayer: No (since you live in Ohio)
Spouse: Yes (since she resides in Nepal and does not meet Ohio residency criteria)
This election establishes an irrebuttable presumption that your spouse is a nonresident of Ohio, meaning she won’t be taxed as a resident in Ohio.

After calling support, this is a way for them to use my credit card on file and pay for the state filing fee. However, since I had already filed the federal return, there was no way to just file the state return. Attempting to file both the fed and state returns at the same time returned a duplicate error. I needed to mail in the state return. I still don't know why the payment blocking happened in the first place.
