The shutdown is probably affecting IRS services 
TurboTax receives no information about refunds. 
What is my taxable income rate?

I am an Indian citizen staying in the US as a J1 visa holder since August-2024. I filed my taxes in January for the yrar 2024. If I wish to invoke tax exemption under the US-India treaty, can I do it for my second year. And will the federal taxes paid for tax year 2025 can be refunded ?

Who is asking for that?   If you used TurboTax to prepare a tax return, you would not have a form 8879, because your return was "self-prepared".  TurboTax provides "do-it-yourself" tax software.    That form 8879 is only used by paid professional tax preparers.      See this other post on the same issue: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/after-you-file/discussion/i-need-my-form-8879-how-do-i-get-this/00/3368227

Was your federal return e-filed and accepted?   A state return cannot be e-filed unless the federal return was e-filed and accepted by the IRS.   And if you filed very early in the tax season, some states were not yet ready to accept e-files so you would need to go back and e-file the state at a later time.   HOW CAN I E-FILE STATE AFTER ALREADY E-FILING FEDERAL https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/e-file-state-already-filed-federal/L1utGncEc_US_en_US?uid=m7xgrjec   E-filing is going to close permanently by the end of October, so if you are not able to e-file the state, you will need to print, sign and file it by mail.

For Windows…..What I would do on the old computer, is copy the whole Turbo Tax folder that is under your Documents. That should be where the .tax files and pdf files are stored. Also if you haven't done it, I would open each year in the program and save it as a pdf file, go to FILE - SAVE TO PDF so you don't need the program installed to view your return. Copy that folder to a flash drive or best yet is to burn it to a CD or DVD and then you will have a backup of them. Then on the new computer copy the folder (or files) from the flash drive to your Documents folder. You only need the tax return data file ending in .tax2024 to transfer into 2025 next year. You can't transfer the programs. They have to be installed from the CD or Download. You don't need to install older programs unless you need to amend or you didn't save the pdf file. And they only support the last 3 years. If you install an older year you won't be able to update it or download any state programs, so you won't be able to open your return. See this article on how to move your tax return to another computer……. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-data-file/help/how-do-i-move-my-tax-data-file-to-another-computer/00/26128

This is a fantastic summary, of that first year paying for college and having advise for that initial tax year filing — both of parents and the college-aged child.   That original post was 2019. Excellent summary.   Now, is anything in that analysis different now in 2025-2026? There was the major expansion of “what qualifies” as the target (any contribution limits) for 529-qualified funds 1099-Q during the summer of 2025 so-called “Big Beautiful Bill”. But my question is, did any of the material and analysis in this post from 2018 materially change between 2019 and January of 2026? I particularly appreciated how that article clarified that 529-qualified funds can pay for Room & Board, while most other payment sources (scholarship, out-of-pocket) could not “qualify” with regard to annual taxes. The material is complicated for a first-time college family.

After over 30years of supporting and using Turbotax, they have changed and have lost my support. My Windows 10 machine has supported me using Turbotax for many years without any security issues. I will NOT buy a new system and will figure out how to get our taxes done without Turbotax. Their decision is a sad one, good luck with it.

For a California resident, an HSA is treated the same as a brokerage account where taxes are assessed on earnings each year.  A California resident simply moving an HSA account in-kind does not create a state-taxable event.  However, if you have capital investments in the HSA and in the process of moving the HSA you sell those investments, moving the cash proceeds rather than doing an in-kind transfer, you can create a state-taxable capital gain.   Don't confuse this with a rollover from an MSA to an HSA which is a taxable event for a California resident. https://www.ftb.ca.gov/tax-pros/law/legislation/2019-2020/AB2384-021820.pdf   Also, this tread is not discussing an HSA owner moving to California from some other state.

Have a small LLC that is gasping for air and on the verge of closing. I have a vehicle that was purchased for 100% business use and has been depreciated on the tax each year for the past 5 years. The LLC has had zero income since September of 2023. The vehicle is titled in my personal name and the loan for it is also in my name. The original cost was approximately 50K and approximately 37K is owed on the note.  The average retail value of the vehicle is $37,000 and I have been offered $29,500 for the vehicle and, because the business is on the verge of closing, I am considering taking the offer. It would seem that, after an RV is more than 10 years old, it is difficult to sell as financing is difficult to obtain.  So, my question is, it the vehicle has been used 100% for business and has been depreciated out, what are the tax repercussions going to be considering I am going to have to pay 37K to clear the title and sell for a loss of almost 20K from the original sales price and $7500 when considering the book value vs the cash offer to purchase.

thanks @KarenL .  Customer Care also reached out after I mailed Office of The President to ask about this, they said that paragraph is meant to refer to the business users not personal, which would make more sense; but I told them that was really not clear at all, if so it may need further updates.
