If I understand correctly, you no longer want to use TurboTax.   If that's the case, we cannot remove you from the system. Your ID and Password will protect you from others accessing your account. You can however delete all of your information out of the file. If you haven't filed your tax return, and want to start over: Log back into TurboTax Select an Item like Personal Info from the center listing Then click on Preview/Edit or Continue This will turn on the left side menu In the bottom left choose Switch Products Then select Clear and Start Over If I misunderstood your question, contact us again with additional information.

To enter your Form 1099-NEC in TurboTax: Sign in and open or continue your return. Search for 1099-NEC and select the Jump to link. Answer the questions and continue through to enter the information from your form. On the screen Does one of these uncommon situations apply? check the box that saysEmployer reported that extra money on a 1099-NEC but should have been reported on my w-2’  On the screen Filing form 8919check That you received a form W-2 and a form 1099-NEC But all the income reported on form 1099-nec should have been included on form W-2. Your return will include form 8919 to figure and report your share of the uncollected social security and Medicare taxes due on your compensation if you were an employee but were treated as an independent contractor by your employer

If Form 8283 is not appearing in the Forms list on the left-hand side of Forms Mode, the error is being triggered by a "ghost" entry on a supporting worksheet or a data field in the interview that has not yet generated the formal government form.   In TurboTax Business Desktop, you must clear the underlying worksheet that feeds into Form 8283 to resolve the filing block.   The IRS requires Form 8283 when noncash donations exceed $500. If you haven't made any, a $0 or a stray character on a worksheet is the likely culprit. While in Forms Mode, click the Open Form button at the top of the left-pane list. In the search box, type Charitable Contributions Worksheet and select it. Review the worksheet for any entries. Even a single character or a "0" in a field can trigger the requirement for Form 8283. If the worksheet contains any data, click Delete Form at the bottom of the screen. This will remove the worksheet and should stop the software from looking for Form 8283.

My refund is well over the limit, and we have used the Pay with Refund option for years.   This is the first year that it says not eligible.   Is there a glitch?  As when I talked to the customer service tax experts on Thursday last week they couldn't give me a reason on why it was not available. 

I’m not being impatient I’m just confused because I’ve done my taxes with TurboTax since 2018 never had an issue I get my second email, saying accepted the same day or the next day and I always fall early every year last year I filed January 20 accepted the 21st. I never have to wait days for it to get and last year there was a massive of people that had issues with their taxes with TurboTax that didn’t get accepted nor sent to the IRS, I’m in the community here and I seen the TikTok videos. I never had an issue and I don’t wanna have an issue this year. It’s not about being patient is being precautious !

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/charges-and-fees/help/why-can-t-i-deduct-my-turbotax-fees-from-my-refund/00/25621   If your refund is enough to cover your TurboTax fees PLUS the extra “refund processing” fee of $40 ($45 in CA) and your forms are ready then when you are in the FILE section you can choose to have your fees deducted from your federal refund by a third party bank, who will take out your fees and send you the rest of your refund after the IRS issues the refund.    Please make note that if your refund takes too long to arrive (IRS delays, etc.) then you will also be agreeing that the TurboTax fees can be extracted from your bank account even before your refund is issued by the IRS.  This comes as an unpleasant shock to many people every year.      If you can possibly pay your fees upfront using a debit or credit card, it will save you that extra fee and even more importantly, the possible aggravation and delays that are often the result of poor handling/poor customer service by that third party bank.  We see way too many instances where refunds are delayed for months when users choose refund processing. There have been lots of complaints; there are a number of things that can go wrong when you use refund processing.  I suggest avoiding that situation if at all possible.     And....you can never pay state tax due from a federal refund, so do not expect that.   The state tax due has to be paid directly to your state.     What is Refund Processing Service?     How can I see my TurboTax  fees?      https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/review-fees-turbotax-online/L1XnIzgzg_US_en_US?uid=m682vq7k         Please see these links for form availability dates Federal form availability   Forms availability  

I am using the online edition not the Desktop. While I can place I7Q6 into the field. It will error out in the finalization review after paying my fee of course and will not allow me to e-file only mail unless the field is updated accordingly. The online edition will not accept the code as is.

When you enter your income info from Form 1099, we'll ask questions about your tips. If you qualify, TurboTax will apply the deduction.    Open your TurboTax Online return and use the magnifying glass to search for "1099-nec" then use the jump-to link to go directly to that topic under Wages & Income.   Since your 1099 forms don't show tips separately, use the summary worksheet to determine your total tips. Keep these records in case the IRS has questions later.   Additional Info: What is the new tax law for tips? How do I claim the new tips deduction if my employer didn't report tips in Box 7?

The IRS officially began accepting and processing 2025 tax returns today, Monday, January 26, 2026. Since this is the opening day, a massive volume of returns that were submitted early are now flowing through the IRS systems simultaneously.   Sequential Processing: Returns are generally processed in the order they are received. Because millions of taxpayers submitted their returns over the last two weeks, the IRS "gate" is currently handling a significant backlog. The "Received" Status: In TurboTax, the Received status indicates that your return has been successfully transmitted and is currently in the secure IRS queue. It has not yet been "Accepted" because it is waiting for its turn to undergo the initial automated validation check.   Your colleagues were likely part of the IRS Hub Testing batches. Every year, the IRS pulls a small number of random returns a few days early to test their systems. These returns are Accepted and even processed before the official opening day.

The IRS has just opened on January 26 to accept/reject e-files.   Any returns that have been accepted before today have been accepted in small random "test" batches.  Everyone else has been waiting on the servers in "pending."   Start watching your emails now that the IRS is open.  Many e-files are on the servers so it could still take a day or two.   When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted  or rejected your federal e-file.  If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.   Check your e-file status:   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/
