If you're filing a 709, each year stands on its own in terms of the annual exclusion.    If you gave your son the property in one tax year, then you would (or did) file a 709 or that year based on the FMV of the property as of the date of the transfer. If you then paid for improvements on the property in a later year, you would simply calculate the cost of those improvements and file a 709 based on that cost.

Did Turbo Tax take the fees out of your bank account?  Then you must have selected to have the fees deducted from your refund but the IRS is taking too long to send your refund.     If the IRS is taking too long to send your refund they will ask you to pay the fees, see step 3 under What happens if the IRS reduces my refund...... https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/payments/help/what-if-my-federal-refund-isn-t-enough-to-cover-my-turbotax-fees/00/26313 If you don't pay they will automatically debit your bank account. Then when the IRS does send your refund they won't take the fees out again.

The information we have was that e-filing would close at midnight on 10-31.   Today is November 1, so you will need to file your tax return by mail.     When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

It is too late to efile now.  You have to print and mail it.   You don't need the AGI to mail it.   You need your 2023 AGI to efile 2024. The AGI is on 2023 1040 or 1040SR line 11. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse. How to find the AGI. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947 If you didn't file 2023 or filed it later in the year or mailed it, then try entering 0 for the AGI. If that doesn't work you will have to print and mail your return. Or request a transcript from the IRS https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

What?   What made you think your income tax refund would reduce your TurboTax fees?  It has never worked that way.   Your fee for using TurboTax is based on which version of the software you use to prepare your return; the fees are not determined by the amount of your refund or by whether you owe federal or state tax due.

There are no more extensions.    An extension for a 2024 return had to be requested by April 15, 2025, and that gave you until October 15 to file your return.   If you have not filed yet, your return is now just late.   If you do not owe or are getting a refund there is no penalty for filing after the deadline.    If you owe tax due, it is owed with late filing penalties and interest.    E-filing is closed, so you will need to file by mail.
