Yes, my SSN is correct at the top of Form 8995-A, in the format xxx-xx-xxxx   However, below that in Part I, line1, column (d) it's in the second line and incorrectly rendered as xx-x-xx-xxx, which is 8 digits instead of 9.   I now see that I was supposed to fill out Schedule A (an amazingly complicated Form!) first, and that the error apparently originates there. Part 1, Line 1b, reads xx-x-xx-xxx, and again I can neither correct it nor find a Data Source for it. I'm in the income range where I'm supposed to fill out Schedule A; all the information in there was apparently filled by TTax, and it is correct except for Line 1b. Schedules B through D have no information entered.   So I am still unable to correct that tax ID entry.   Thanks again!

You enter the actual date of payment.   To enter, edit or delete estimated taxes paid (Federal, State, Local) - Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business) Click on Deductions and Credits Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid On Estimated Tax Payments, click on the start or update button   On Federal estimated taxes for 2025 (Form 1040-ES), click the start button   Federal estimated taxes paid are entered on Form 1040 Line 26

Your info was spot on...  my bad and screwed up on that citizen question..  Now once I get the letter/info from the IRS that is supposed to get sent to me I'll have to do an amended return unless they fix it for me.  Thanks for you help.

This public forum doesn't have access to your return. Many things can prevent eifling. I suggest contacting support, though in the basic version, support may not be free.     One possibility is if you imported any info. Sometimes the formatting is corrupt or improperly formatted. This would require deleting the imported info and form and then entering manually. supprt 5am-5pm Pacific Time (8-8 Eastern) Monday - Friday https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/contact 800-446-8848    

The IRS messaged me that they were not accepting my taxes as filed by Turbo Tax for 2025 since our (I fill jointly with my wife) Soc Sec income in 2025 was listed as having 0 tax due.  This has resulted in a major adjustment in my expected refund.

If the file shows up but you can’t read it, it may be missing a final “close-out” step from the 2024 program. Try this to see if this works.   Open your 2024 TurboTax software.  Open your 2024 return and let it run any final updates it asks for. Go to File > Save As and save a new copy of the return to your Desktop with a simple name like TEST2024. Quit 2024, open 2025, and try to transfer that new TEST2024 file from your Desktop.

What about last years taxes? Do you need the tax return you filed? Do you need the tax refund, federal or state?   Or do you need to file a 2024 tax return? Or do you need to file a 2024 amended tax return?

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS releases your refund.    The IRS Where's My Refund site will not take into account the 5 days early, but if you signed up for the 5 Day Early product, you should receive your refund deposited 5 days prior to the date indicated by the IRS, assuming all conditions are met.   For more information click on the link below 5 Days Early Option   If you don't get your deposit 5 days early, there is a few reasons why that might happen.   Your refund was offset or differed from their estimated refund amount, bringing the refund amount below the minimum threshold or above the maximum. What is a refund offset? Your bank wouldn't accept RTP (Real Time Payments) or Same Day ACH deposits, preventing Intuit from depositing your refund 5 days ahead of when the IRS would have deposited your refund. The IRS didn't give Intuit 5 or more days of notice in advance. This stopped Intuit from meeting the 5 days early expectations. If TurboTax is unable to deliver the refund 5 days early, your order will be canceled and you won't be charged the 5-Day Early fee. You will receive a follow-up email with a refund and timing update, and if any cancellation is applicable.
