Are you a CPA licensed in USA and in MI? Can you help me file tax returns?   We did not oay FICa for wife in 2023 for her internship and in 2024 for her job. My previous COA told my spouse to start paying FICA from early months of 2025 as they said we must pay FICA taxes and are cannot have both ways of trwting wife as resident and not paying FICA taxes. We potentially lose out on close to 4k due to this. We did not file form 8843 for wife for 2023 and 2024 tax returns. What should we do now?

See What is Refund Advance? for details about the Refund Advance loan, particularly the sections about "Availability" and "Timing." Note that you do not get the loan until the IRS has accepted your e-filed tax return. The IRS will start accepting tax returns in late January. They have not yet announced a specific date.  

There is no "estimated tax rate" on a tax return. I don't know what your financial advisor is talking about. (Maybe your financial advisor doesn't know what he's talking about either.) Show your financial advisor the first page of your 2024 tax return, or the whole tax return, and ask him to show you where the "estimated tax rate" is. I don't know what you mean by "estimated tax rate." Why are you looking for it? What are you trying to accomplish? You might need a new financial advisor.  

Is $0.00 entered in the field? If so, there may be Supporting Details. It might have carried over from 2024, but with no amounts. Click on the field, then, on the Edit menu, select Add Supporting Details. At the top of the Supporting Details window click Remove, and confirm the removal. You should then be able to enter an amount in the field.  

TurboTax gets no information from the IRS (or your state) after you file your tax return.  The IRS does not share anything about the processing of your return with TurboTax.    TurboTax does not know if your return is under review by the IRS and cannot help with that.   Only the IRS can tell you what is happening with your return.   You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds   To track your state refund:     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr       TAX ADVOCATE See this article for more info on how the Taxpayer Advocate Service works:: http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc104.html   https://www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/ Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
