I talked to Turbotax support.   They had me remove the contents of box 21 (foreign income) and then move the total value of box 52 and 54 into box 53 in the very bottom right of the "other boxes" screen, and that resolved the issue.

@erin-lynn-mcintosh wrote: The code is B for box 14, is that the problem?   Yes.  There isn't also a code "A"?   Did the business have a profit in Box 1?  Or Guaranteed Payments in Box 4?  Or if box 1 is a loss, is Box 4 larger than the loss in Box 1?  

If you entered incorrect banking information for your refund, you can change it if your return is rejected.  If it is accepted, however, it is too late to change it.  The bank will reject the refund and send it back to the IRS.  Then the IRS will issue a paper check and mail it to the address you put on your tax return.  Expect a delay of at least a couple of weeks to receive your refund. Here is what the IRS says about entering incorrect banking information https://www.irs.gov/help-resources/tools-faqs/faqs-for-individuals/frequently-asked-tax-questions-answers/irs-procedures/refund-inquiries/refund-inquiries-18       If your refund is sent back to the IRS—- make certain that the address you entered on your Form 1040 is correct.  And…open all mail, even if it looks like junk mail.               REFUND PROCESSING FEE     If you chose to have your fees deducted from your federal refund, but entered wrong or closed bank account information for your direct deposit, you are going to have an aggravating, frustrating situation.  Your refund will go back to the third party bank. The third party bank might issue and mail you a check, or they might send your refund back to the IRS and then you will have to wait for the IRS to mail you a check.     If the third party bank mails the check, it will come in a plain envelope via first class mail so make sure you open all mail and do not assume anything is junk mail without opening it.  While you are waiting, make sure that the address you entered on your tax return is correct, or your problem will be even worse.   When you choose “refund processing” your refund goes FIRST  from the IRS to the third party bank.  Then the bank takes your fees out of your refund and sends the rest of the refund to you.     What is Refund Processing Service?         Santa Barbara Tax Products Group, LLC  (SBTPG) is the bank that handles the Refund Processing Service when you choose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your refund. This option also has an additional charge from the bank that processes the transaction.    You can contact them SBTPG, toll-free, at 1-877-908-7228 or go to their secure website www.sbtpg.com   

If you've already filed your Federal return, you can go back to Personal Info section, and under contact info, change your answer there to French. That will change your answer on both the Federal & Quebec returns, allowing you to file your Quebec return with the correct language preference.    

Once a tax return has been filed and accepted by the IRS the method of receiving the tax refund cannot be changed.  Sine the bank account for the direct deposit of the federal tax refund is closed the bank will reject the deposit.  The refund is sent back to the IRS where they will then mail a refund check to the address on the tax return.

There is a Notice on the CRA's website, regarding the availability of tax slips in My Account, Represent a Client, or through the Auto-fill my return service.  Availability of tax information Some 2024 tax slips are not yet available in My Account, Represent a Client, or through the Auto-fill my return service.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx Account Recovery
