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     No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/contact-turbotax/L2y9ZKpQB_US_en_US?uid=m5s9l2vh  

It's possible this experience is related to a form that is not ready or has not been updated. To investigate your situation further, you may use Forms Mode to view and revise your entries (if needed).    Click the Forms icon in the TurboTax header and open Form 1065, p1-4.  Scroll down to Schedule B Line 4d. If the box is checked "yes," you are not required to include these schedules. If the box is checked "no," look under Line 4b for Completion of Schedules L etc. Smart Worksheet. Check the No box. Now open Form 1065, p5-6.  Scroll down to Schedule L (Balance Sheet).  Areas with errors will appear in pink and you will see a red exclamation point to the left of the form in the forms list.  If you click the Errors Icon above the forms list, a full description of any errors will appear below the form you have open. This might include a "form not ready," message, if this status applies. You may be able to resolve the error manually, or you may need to wait for a future TurboTax update. Edit only numbers that appear in blue. Overriding calculated numbers invalidates the return for e-filing (you will need to mail the return). This is an IRS constraint. Review the Forms list to identify any other errors affecting your return. When finished, click Step-by-Step in the header to go back to the return.  

Yes. You may be able to claim the energy-efficient home credit for a new Rheem HVAC system if the HVAC unit qualifies. The documentation you describe here may not be enough on its own. The IRS requires proof that the specific system installed meets applicable energy-efficiency standards.   The invoice should show proof of purchase and that the system was placed in service (date and seller/installer).    To be sure you are clear to claim this, be sure to note the model numbers of the installed equipment. You can also take a photo of this. Usually, the manufacturer will  have a certification statement confirming the model qualifies under IRC §25C. You should retain the model numbers and manufacturer certification with your tax records. It doesn't need to be filed with the return.     

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  

Do I get a credit or deduction if my child is disabled?   If your child is older than 12 and you need to pay someone to take care of him while you work, you can say he is disabled and you can still get the childcare credit on your federal return.   Or if he is 19 or older you may still be able to claim him as a qualifying child dependent on your federal return.   Aside from those things, there is no federal tax advantage to saying that your child is disabled.   Your state tax laws might be different.

@docjon49 wrote: Avoiding that doesn’t eliminate risk, but it does reduce it.... Not disagreeing with you but only pointing out that the only safe alternative is to prepare your return manually and then print and mail. Intuit (TurboTax) is no different (better or worse) than any of the others.
