If your daughter is living on her own, and you are claiming her as a dependent, the credit would only be a $500 Other Dependent credit.  This is a non-refundable credit that you must have a tax liability to reduce.  If you do have a tax liability and she does qualify as a dependent, then you can go back and double check your answers to be sure you answered them accurately. 

What kind of business are you trying to file an extension for?  Some filing deadlines for business tax returns has passed.   March 17, 2025 - Tax returns are due for some business types (partnerships and S corporations). Businesses taxed as partnerships (including multi-member LLCs) and S corporations need to file Form 1065 or Form 1120-S, respectively, by March 17, 2025, if they are a calendar year business. If your business uses a fiscal year, you need to file your tax return by the 15th day of the third month following the close of your tax year. For example, if your business uses an April 1 to March 31 tax year, your business tax return would be due June 16, 2025 instead of March 17, 2025. April 15, 2025 - Taxes for C corporations are due. Businesses organized as a C corporation need to file Form 1120 by April 15, 2025, if they are a calendar-year business. If your business uses a fiscal year, you need to file your tax return by the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of your tax year. For example, if your business uses an April 1 to March 31 tax year, your business tax return would be due July 15 instead of in April.   Refer to the TurboTax article  Every Tax Deadline You Need To Know for more information.

Since you're using TurboTax Online, clear your  Cache and Cookies first.   Go back to the screen in the TurboTax interview where you enter the address of the school. First delete all the address information that you have entered. Then, directly under the school's name, where it says "Does your school have a foreign address?" select Yes. Then you should be able to enter the foreign address without a state and zip code.   In review, if it comes up, Continue past it.        @Colleen224 

I was lucky to find this posting that described my similar situation.   I had also stumbled upon the right-click cell to Override in the MI-2210.   It is a shame that the rest of the worksheet does not update to the overridden withholding values and I had to figure and override/enter those myself.   I do not see a way to "Add supporting details..." or attach required documentation (eg: paystubs showing withholding).   Intuit:  Is this something that could be considered to be improved? Michigan: I wish you would update the annualization procedures to match Fed.   I also recall having to manually trigger the Fed 2210 because unlike the State I was not alerted to the penalty and offered a similar "Try annualizing?" question.   Did I miss something?

If you mean a tax return for an S-corps, C-corps or multi-member partnership business---your filing deadline was March 17, 2025 so it is too late for an extension and your penalties are already adding up.   If you mean for a sole proprietor business for which you prepare a Schedule C--   Remember that an extension does not give you more time to pay.   You need to pay your tax due by April 15.   The extension only gives you more time to prepare and file your tax return forms.   https://turbotax.intuit.com/irs-tax-extensions/   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-extension/need-file-extension-personal-state-taxes/L32Mt8ZNv_US_en_US?uid=m9a3q808  

"Did your son have any other taxable income?   What does he have to enter on a tax return?   We have no information about him; you have not mentioned his age, whether he was a student; etc etc."   My son was a fulltime student last year. He is 18. He only has a 1098T from college.

That WHATIF mode is great - thank you again for pointing it out (a hidden feature!).  I just noticed how handy it is to just test out a change in filing status - for example, it has a simple checkbox to try out changing MFJ to MFS.   And it is easy to test out HOH vs. Single.     But, the other part of my original comment still stands:  there is still no good way to see a summary of TOTAL TAX DUE for Fed and each state.  The top left box in dialog mode is always tax due/refund for Fed and each state (which is of course the net after w/h, applied from prior year & estimated payments).     This makes running scenarios a PITA because the steps are 1)save a duplicate ttax file (I just use Finder on my mac, duplicate the file and give it a test scenario name), 2)make changes, 3)go into Forms mode and scan down to the last page of the Fed 1040 and each state return, find the tax due number, then key it into an excel worksheet table, 4)repeat these steps for each scenario.     The WHATIF form is useful if you only are interested in the Fed 1040 and have simple changes.     I still think that Turbotax should not only highlight the tax due / refund, but should also make apparent the TOTAL TAX vs. having to search for it on the various fed/state forms.
