Have all my income entered in TT about $90k in income and have a expected refund of $757. I'm in texas so only federal taxes. I then entered my 1099nec from the amazon prime progam totaling a little over $10k.  After doing that my expected return dropped only by like 200$ to an expected refund of $550 so im only paying around  200$ in taxes on $10k worth of items from the progam. I had kinda worked myslef up and was actully expecting to owe a significant amount in taxes (around $2500)  for participating in this amazon program.     So my question is does this sound right?    I feel like the math isnt mathing.   Also i know there is a debate wether we have to enter it as a hobby or report it as Self-employment. The thing is when i enter it as SE income it actully increases my expected refund by over 2k. That really doesnt sound right either? Am i missing somthing?

Same issue this year (2025 tax year) as last year (2024) in TurboTax Business (1120) desktop.   After completing federal tax return, on the State Taxes tab when clicking on "start" next to the state, as always it opens up a browser pop-up titled "State Purchase / Select your state returns". The state is selected ($50 cost), Continue, Continue, and just the same as last year, every time the same generic error: "Hmm... it looks like we’ve hit a slight snag / Please try again or check back in a bit."   Last year for business after trying to reload it a few thousand of times (as each time is three clicks, probably close to 10,000 total clicks) it finally loaded up once and let me pay the $50 to add the state. This year so far no such luck.   The India-based phone support are completely useless and ask me what "form" (the guy says "like W-2") is this about. TurboTax Business 2025 desktop (just like 2024 and the years before) does NOT have ScreenShare code functionality (no such option in Online menu, Shift+Enter doesn't work, like it does in Home & Business), but of course support staff are totally ignorant of that and keep saying that screen share should work (it doesn't, not for TT Business). When I tell them it's a "block payment issue" (as Intuit has stated here to refer to this as when calling support) I can visualize the blank face it draws. Intuit phone support staff refuse to take the $50 payment and add the state tax license - they seem to have no clue how to do so (and possibly no access to do that).   There is no way to open a normal trouble ticket online, or even if phone support generate a ticket #, no way to update it online (Intuit really can't afford any online-enabled trouble ticket system?) or even an e-mail address to which to send the screenshots and explanation. This can be explained in 2 minutes easily in writing and by screenshots, but no way to do that.   Hours (soon to be tens of hours) on the phone with useless support, no progress.   Is there anyone from Intuit here who can provide a workaround this known "block payment" issue that's been an issue for the last two years and provide a way to simply pay the $50 to add the state corporate tax support to TT Business 2025 desktop? All that Intuit needs to do is add the "TURBOTAX DESKTOP xx TAX YEAR 2025 WIN DOWNLOAD" (where xx = state) to the Intuit account licenses. Well that and collect the $50, which they for multiple years have been unable to have the software do correctly.   Any workaround and solution here?
