Yes, as long as you haven't submitted payment, deducted the TurboTax fee from your refund, or registered, you can erase your return and start from scratch in TurboTax Online.   Sign in and select a topic to continue your return. On the next screen, from the left-side menu, select Tax Tools, and then Clear & Start Over (select the menu icon in the upper-left corner if you don't see this menu). Answer Yes in the pop-up to confirm.

To check if you signed up for the TurboTax Refund Advance, you can look in a few specific places in your account or your email.    Check Your TurboTax Order Details On the Tax Home page, scroll down to the section for "Your tax returns & documents." Select View Order Details. Look for "Refund Advance" or "Credit Karma Money" listed under your payment and refund methods.  If it’s not there, you likely selected a standard direct deposit or a different refund option.   Look for Confirmation Emails If you applied, you should have received automated emails from TurboTax and its partners. From TurboTax: Search for an email confirming your "Refund Selection." From Credit Karma: If you were approved, Credit Karma sends an email when the funds are deposited into your Credit Karma Money Spend account. From WebBank: If your application was denied, you will receive an email from WebBank (the lender) explaining the reason for the decline.   Check Your Credit Karma Money Account Because the Refund Advance is deposited into a Credit Karma Money™ Spend account, checking that account is the fastest way to see if the loan was processed. Log in to your Credit Karma account. Navigate to the Money tab. If you see a pending or completed deposit for a portion of your refund (typically between $250 and $4,000) shortly after the IRS accepted your return, that is your Refund Advance.   Review Your Tax Return Summary You can also find clues on your actual tax forms: Open your 2025 return in TurboTax Go to the Tax Tools menu on the left Select Print Center View your Federal Information Worksheet Look at the "Direct Deposit" section If you signed up for the advance, the bank account listed will be the MVB Bank account associated with Credit Karma, rather than your personal bank account.

It depends. Not all credits turn into cash. There's a refundable portion of the Child Tax Credit per child, and the rest is non-refundable. It's also dependent on your income and other household factors.   If by Marketplace, you are referring to  the Premium Tax Credit, this isn't automatically a refund. This amount is entered on Form 8962 and depending on your income, and other household factors, it can be reduced dramatically.    Without additional information, it's unclear what could have caused your refund amount to be reduced. More than likely, it could have been:   Your tax liability absorbed most of the non-refundable Child Tax Credit Your additional Child Tax Credit was capped Your premium tax credit was reduced or offset

Do you have sales or need to enter a K-1?  Sorry you need to  upgrade to  Online Premium to enter investments.   If you have the Desktop program you can use Deluxe.   Or do you have a 1099R?  That can go in Deluxe but won't be ready until Jan 21.

(sigh...)  "Windows 10" is not a single monolithic product.  Microsoft has nearly a dozen editions, literally with different SKUs and "support" sunset dates.  Here's the link for the official Support Dates for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 that I've provided earlier in this thread and elsewhere in the forum:   https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-iot-enterprise-ltsc-2021   And here's the actual table from that page:     Note that this table was published years ago, and this edition does indeed still have MAINSTREAM support for another year, and EXTENDED support for another five years after that.  You can call this Windows 10 edition "deprecated" but that's obviously not what the vendor calls it (yet).   BTW, the proper term here for Windows 10 Home and Pro editions would be "discontinued".  Deprecate is generally not used for an entire software product but for components of that product.  (I won't bother posting links to the relevant dictionary entries, feel free to look it up yourself...)   I'm also not trying to win any arguments here.  I'm just trying to make it clear that Microsoft's decision to discontinue certain editions of Windows 10 is obviously based on support considerations (not technical issues), just as Intuit's decision was made to discontinue Windows 10 support entirely.   Microsoft could backpedal with continued ESR support for their most "popular" retail editions (Home and Pro) at least until the scheduled and published sunset date for their "last to die" edition (Windows 10 IoT Enterprise).  It would hardly cost them any effort at all, since they're already on the hook to do that for IoT Enterprise edition. Which by definition means that IoT Enterprise edition is not "deprecated" or discontinued.   So far we've seen nothing in TurboTax for TY2025 that "requires" Windows 11 to function correctly -- other than their plans to subject your tax return data to AI analysis. That feature-which-we-all-can't-live-without may require a Copilot+ PC (and Windows 11) but we simply don't have enough details on it yet to know for sure.  In any case, this is just one example of what Microsoft calls "progress" that most of us never asked for and many of us absolutely don't want.   So to say that we need to move off of Windows 10 for "enhancements, improvements, or even bug fixes that are, and will be, released in updates for Windows 11" is a pretty weak argument.  There is not a single feature of Windows 11 that I personally need, but it's obviously loaded with adware, there are some pretty annoying new bugs in the dumbed-down Explorer interface, and it's missing features from Windows 10 that were very helpful to my workflow.   Anyway, it's obvious that we don't agree here, but I am just responding to the topic of the OP (check the Subject again) to say again that yes I agree, Windows 11 is a POS.   Cheers everyone!  🍺
