TurboTax will enter the information in the "Additional Retirement Account Smart Worksheet" to check that you met the RMD but this will not be sent to the IRS.   Please see Can an account owner just take a RMD from one account for additional information.  

Got it - it's my resident state, so I guess it's OK. I had expected it to be the state where the sale occurred (where I am having to file a nonresident return), but since the income is getting reported/taxed to my resident state seems OK. Thank you!

Go to Federal> Deductions and Credits> Your Home to enter mortgage interest, property taxes, and mortgage insurance that you paid in 2024   You should have a 1098 from your mortgage lender that shows this information.  Lenders send these in January/early February or you may be able to import the 1098 from the lender’s website.

The IRS has to process your return, move it to the payment department and then set up the debit. It can take up to 3 weeks after filing. Review your paperwork. You will either have indicated to do a direct debit or you indicated you would mail a voucher.

When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.   Each return needs its own account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-start-another-return-in-turbotax-online/00/25596

The tax liability on  your  2023 return is the total tax on  line 24, not the tax due for 2023.  It's just used to help figure out if you have a 2024 penalty.   If you do not pay in enough tax from withholding and estimates, you may have to pay a penalty for underpayment of estimated tax. The penalty is an Estimated amount. Even if you are getting a refund you can still owe a penalty for not paying in evenly during the year. Generally, most taxpayers will avoid this penalty if they owe less than $1,000 in tax after subtracting their withholdings and credits, or if they paid at least 90% of the tax for the current year, or 100% of the tax shown on the return for the prior year, whichever is smaller. It is included in your tax due or reduces your refund. If you get a penalty on 1040 line 38, you might be able to eliminate it or at least reduce it. You can go to Federal Taxes tab or Personal tab, under Other Tax Situations and select Start by the Underpayment Penalties. You will answer a series of questions that may reduce or eliminate the penalty. Or you can elect to have the IRS figure the penalty for you. It's form 2210.   It's under Federal or Personal (for Home & Business Desktop) Other Tax Situations Additional Tax Payments Underpayment Penalties - Click the Start or update button

Not sure why you expected that students do not pay tax.  Students do not get any sort of "tax-free" status.    If someone told you that, they were mistaken.    If you are filing single, then your federal standard deduction is $14,600.  That is the amount of your income that is "tax free"-- just like any other single filer.  The rest of your income is subject to federal tax.  If you did not have enough tax withheld from your paychecks then it is possible for you to owe.   When you enter your W-2's with the amounts of income and the amounts withheld for federal and state tax, the software calculates whether you owe more tax or get a refund.
