How long ago did you e-file?   You need to wait 24-48 hours after acceptance to start checking on the IRS refund site. https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/    Sometimes people get confused by the “summary” given by TurboTax and use the wrong amount for the federal refund.  Make sure you are only using the federal refund amount, and not an amount that combined your federal and state refunds.     Your federal refund amount is on line 35a of your Form 1040  

No.  Activity inside of a Roth IRA (or any IRA for that matter) is not taxable on a federal tax return.  You do not need to report this.   However, you may have to file a return to get back your tax withholding.  You should contact the company managing your ROTH and ask them to stop withholding taxes.   @Marciaj 

I am assuming these are carryforward credits if the business went out of business several years ago?   If so, do you have your form 3800 from last year to get the information from?  You should be able to use that as it should have had the same credits last year as this year. 

The Ohio school district returns may be better off being printed and mailed.  What errors are you seeing on the return?  Do you need to enter your W2 into the federal return still?   @keithanordeng 

Once your tax return has been e-filed, and accepted, TurboTax doesn't have any other information about your refund. If you are referring to your federal refund, you can check your federal refund status here.    For additional information, refer to the TurboTax article Where’s My Tax Refund? How to Check Your Refund Status for additional information.  

You should be able to select various for the date. When you enter the description of the stock you sold, there is a question that lets you enter the date or enter something else.  You should select something else, and in the dropdown box select Various.  See the image below for your reference:     If your issue continues feel free to message us again.   @twpilot 

Where do you see that question?  What steps did you take to enter the donation? Did you select stock on the first screen for the type of donation? Were the stocks purchased or inherited or how did you obtain them?   If they were inherited, did you get the screen telling you how to enter your stock donations? Unless there were special conditions on your donation, you should only have to enter the information Dave posted above.       

The answer was given earlier.  You will need to delete the imported 1099-R's and manually type them in.  Something went wrong with the data import and now the system isn't associating the retirement income with the withholding.  Manually typing them in should fix the issue.   @bobby6 

Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”     When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.   First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/ If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?  (Allow 24 - 48 hours after acceptance to look) https://www.irs.gov/refunds            Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?” Or “Rejected?” Or “Printed?”
