By "protection" do you mean MAX or audit support?   That add-on feature does not help you get your refund any faster.   That is not the purpose of the "protection" ---which is intended as support if you get audited after your return has been fully processed or to help you with issues related to identity theft.   WHAT IS MAX   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-product-orders/max/L0Bc4Ve2l_US_en_US?uid=m76e6cmo       To check on regular tax refund status via automated phone, call 800-829-1954.   Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities.  There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.   TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.      First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   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   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   If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refunds-take-longer-others/L14YlqFrH_US_en_US?uid=lexdr7zh . https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/irs-refund-taking-longer-21-days/L2vRAJbdU_US_en_US?uid=lexe7lst    

See this: FAQ:  Sign-in temporarily locked https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/small-business-processes/sign-temporarily-locked/L8AsL2eXE_US_en_US   Wait at least 14 minutes.   If you don't remember your log-in credentials (or you could have multiple accounts without realizing it), here's how to recover account access:   To get a list of your User IDs, reset password, and recover account access, etc., you can use the tool at the link below.  When using the Account Recovery tool, try using your phone number first if you can still access it.   After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access. NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below.  You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session. https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery If still no luck after running that on your phone number you can still access and email address(es) that you can access,  here's another method:          Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, scroll down a bit, then choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by other parameters.

@Mike9241  Then I closed the Antimalware real-protection. I used the cleanup tool and then restarted. The mem could drop from 131MB to 80MB.   But it still shows “insufficient space” and “4GB or more” needed.   Which friend knows the solution? Thanks a lot.

"It was the next line that reads "Include any IRA contributions [name] made or will make in 2025 for 2024" that caused me confusion."   This is in regard to entering your contributions, not to entering the FMV.   "the FMV (Line 5) is blank"   This is presumably indicating that you had no money in this traditional IRA on 12/31/2024. A SEP IRA is a type of traditional IRA, so it's value must be included in the total FMV (and in this case would be the total amount to be entered).   The recharacterized contribution reported on the code-R 2024 Form 1099-R should have been reflected on your 2023 tax return.  You can enter this form into 2024 TurboTax, but 2024 TurboTax will ignore it other than to remind you that it should have been reflected on your 2023 tax return, with the result being a traditional IRA contribution, presumably nondeductible reported on your 2023 Form 8606.
