You can buy the Desktop Download program here or in stores or online like Amazon, Costco, etc. https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download You need a full Windows 11 or Mac OS Sonoma 14 computer to install it. Where to find the License Code https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-topics/help/i-can-t-find-my-license-code/01/852973 How to get started with the Desktop program, install and activate it https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/product-delivery/download-software-turbotax-com/L7u9oLEkq_US_en_US?uid=luqgvzrd  

Are you using the Online version or the Desktop program?  Will they be using the same computer?   If you use the Desktop program each return is saved on that computer in a separate file ending in .tax2025.  Your data is not kept in the program.   So someone using the program could open any return. You could copy your return to a flash drive or somewhere else and then delete it from the computer. Or you can put a password on a file. Go up to File-Password.

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.     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     Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday  

Let's be clear, you cannot file your taxes if you are itemizing and have charitable contributions until Turbot allows you to input and is giving no date to when the update or whatever you want to call it is done.  The new tax bill was passed on July 4, did the software development go on holiday for 6 months?

We cannot see your account and you have not provided much information about the issue here.   The school district tax form requires an extra step that YOU must take after you prepare your state return.   It is not prepared automatically.   Did you neglect to prepare the SD return?      And....what about 2023 and 2024?   Did you live in that school district for those years too?  If so, did you prepare and file school district returns for 2023 and/or 2024?

Investment losses are deductible, theft is not.  In other words, if you invest in a legitimate business, and it goes bust through bad luck or even bad management, you can deduct the loss.  If someone gets your bank details and drains your account, that is theft and not deductible.   That means there is a gray area around cryptocurrency losses.  Since you describe this as a scam, and there is a police report, then the "first look" position is that it is a non-deductible theft.  Whether you could reasonably argue that it is a deductible investment loss (after taking a "second look") depends on the totality of the circumstances.  It would be your decision if you want to take the deduction and risk an audit.  You may want to consult a professional who will stand behind you if you are audited.
