Did you check the status here?   You  first need to check the filing status inside the program so it knows it was filed and accepted.  Open your return and go up to the top black menu bar first item File > Electronic Filing > Check Electronic Filing Status Then save your return and close it.  Close the program and reopen it.  

On a PC, not Mac.  Software has been updated.  Tried the solution as shown, all 5 steps, but end result was exactly the same:  Ttax still claims I hadn't e-filed 1040 thru Ttax, yet checking status shows that I had.  Still stumped.      

So I think you're saying I'd still pay income tax on any interest I receive each year, which makes sense. But how would I claim the step-up in basis and show that I had no gain if I received the down payment in one year and the balance up to 5 years later? Would I have to opt out of the installment sales method so that I could report the entire sale all at once in the first year to show I have no gain?   

Okay, you want to enter for this way: box 18 12864 box 19 144 Box 20 NY CIT   That's it, no other lines. Also make sure if there are any spaces in the other boxes they are deleted. TurboTax sees a space as an entry. I would also very your other W2's if they have Box 18, 19, and 20 filled in.   Let me know how it works out.

You don't need to do anything.   The IRS will automatically mail you a check to the address on your tax return once the bank notifies them the bank account is inactive/closed.   See IRS Refund Inquiries 

Hi CatinaT1, thank you for your message! Here is the 'previously reported' figures for boxes 18-20 and the 'correct' info: I have tried filing with just the information in the second column (since all numbers have been consolidated into here), but this did not work, so I tried filing with two rows but with the second row just filled with 0s (as shown in the fourth column above). This did not work either. Each time it was rejected due to a data mismatch, according to TurboTax. This is not my only W2, but the others only had single numbers in these boxes so I believe this particular W2 is where the problem lies. Any help would be grately appreciated!

If you look at your form 1040, you will see next to Standard deduction a check mark in the box for someone can claim you as a dependent if you marked it that someone can claim you. If you did not, then you will need to Amend Your Return to say that they can claim you. 

You will need to print and sign your Colorado return.  Go to Tax Tools in the left column, then choose Print Center. TurboTax will give you the option to print the forms you need to file your state return.    Follow the instructions to sign the main form, then include all pages with your payment check. We recommend sending your return by a method that provides tracking and/or confirmation of receipt. The state return filing instructions should have the address where the return should be mailed.   For more help, see How do I file my return by mail?

Unfortunately, Pillar 2 and Pillar 3 are not "qualified plans" for US tax purposes.  So the rules that would benefit you for withdrawals and contributions don't do you a lot of good here.   Here is a whole thing on Swiss retirement plans and US citizens.   @akarpilow
