@lewisronell    If you want to clear what might already be in your "online" 2024 tax file: 1)  Log into your tax file. 2) Continue it such that you are inside the tax interview somewhere. 3)  Use the left side Tools/Tax Tools menu to bring up a pop-up box that allows you to: 4)  select...."Clear and start over"    (you just won't start over) 5)  Exit the program.

I entered the Payer's TIN number into TurboTax when it asked for the Payer's EIN number. When I electronically submitted my Federal tax return for 2024, it was rejected. The return was rejected because it states that the EIN number that I entered doesn't match the IRS records. I checked the 1099-R and the number I entered, and they match. What should I do now?

Are the medical expenses 3% of your net income (line 23600) or $2,759 (for tax year 2024)?   For more information refer to the TurboTax article "How to Deduct Your Medical Expenses - TurboTax Canada  

The IRS automatically identifies taxpayers located in the covered disaster area and applies filing and payment relief. But affected taxpayers who reside or have a business located outside the covered disaster area should call the IRS Special Services toll-free number at 866-562-5227 to request this tax relief. Tax practitioners in the covered disaster area, who maintain records necessary to meet a filing or payment deadline for taxpayers located outside the disaster area, may contact the IRS Special Services; if the practitioner maintains the necessary records of ten or more clients, please refer to Bulk requests from practitioners for disaster relief for additional guidance.

@PatriciaV  Thanks, Patricia.  I'll have to digest what you said in detail, but it makes sense and explains it.   I am still a bit confused as to why just the Code A in Box 14 triggers that addition back, though, regardless of the amount (negative or positive) in box 14.   Thanks, bohicaIL

@Sonyat https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/refunds/help/why-is-my-direct-deposited-refund-or-check-lower-than-the-amount-in-turbotax/00/25594   There can be a number of reasons why your refund was less than the amount you expected. First of all, look carefully at your actual tax returns. Next——check the IRS refund site https://www.irs.gov/refunds to see what the IRS says they issued for your refund.  Sometimes the IRS reduces your refund. If the IRS reduced your refund they will send you a letter in several weeks.     There is sometimes confusion about the amount of refund to expect when users misinterpret the “summary” they saw in TurboTax. The amount of your refund is on your tax return.  Federal refund is on line 35a on Form 1040  State tax forms are all different so we cannot tell you what line to look at on your state form.  BUT it is important to actually LOOK at your tax return forms yourself and see the amounts of your tax refunds and/or tax due.  A lot of confusion would be avoided by doing that.   Be aware also that your Federal refund and state refund do NOT come together.  Federal and state tax returns are processed by two completely separate entities.  There is no rule as to which one will come first,   It is also possible that your state reduced your refund for debts owed in your state—if the state reduced your state refund you will receive a letter from the state.   Did you choose to have TT fees deducted from your Federal refund?  (Remember that if you did that, you also agreed to an extra refund processing fee of $40 or $45  in CA)   How can I see my TurboTax  fees?   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/review-fees-turbotax-online/L1XnIzgzg_US_en_US?uid=m682vq7k      refund offset.       https://www.irs.gov/uac/tax-refund-offsets-pay-unpaid-debts  IRS Treasury Offset Program Call Center at 1-800-304-3107  https://www.irs.gov/uac/tax-refund-offsets-pay-unpaid-debts   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/refunds/help/what-is-a-refund-offset/00/26301   Reduced Refund      https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc203      NOTE: You can contact the IRS Treasury Offset Program Call Center at 1-800-304-3107 to ask if they have an offset for you on file.

The form was correct. State income tax was correctly imported and reflected in the summary. Will call TurboTax to see if they can help or I have to file an amendment with MI  manually. Sounds like a software problem in the MI module.
