If going back through the return and following the instructions give in the earlier post by AmyC are not working, you could delete and restart your return.  You would not delete the actual state program, it would just delete your return so that you could start over.     How do I delete my state return in TurboTax Desktop for Windows?   @finbarrd 

For TurboTax Online, try closing the program, clear your Cache and Cookies and return to the State Refund section.  Make sure you answer all the questions to the end of the section where it tells you whether your refund is taxable or not.    My online program does not show 'available now' for the 1099-G entry, only 'Revisit'.    Here's more info on State Tax Refunds.       @user17701361790 

@KristinaK @Thank you so much for a reply to this chain ! However , there are some people getting the incorrect refunds amount that are being displayed . Can you please confirm if TurboTax is aware of this as well? Lastly how is it possible for someone to get an amount lower than what the IRS is showing ? Thank you for any feedback you can give. 

Currently, the 1040X is scheduled to be available 2/18/26.   However, you can use this tool to check availability of forms, including 1040X: Tax form availability with the most up-to-date information.

I'm not sure why "Unknown term basis not reported to IRS" is an option.  I've never used it nor I have ever seen it used.  You have to tell the IRS whether your holding period for the asset you sold was long-term or short-term.  Your broker may not know, but you should.  I recommend you use either A) Short-term basis not reported to the IRS (uncovered) or B) Long-term basis not reported to the IRS (uncovered). 

Yes, there is a way to enter your tips.  You will find questions regarding this after you enter your 1099-NEC.     Re-navigate to the W-2 entry (Federal > Self-employment income > Schedule C, expenses, Forms 1099-NEC and 1009-K). Edit the business for your Doordashing and go back to the income section.  Select the pencil icon to next to the 1099-NEC you already entered and continue through the data entry section.  You'll then see a screen entitled Let's check if you can deduct any tips, and you'll be asked if any of the amount in box 1 of your 1099-NEC is from tips. When you answer yes, a box will appear and you can enter your tips.    Continue through the interview to make sure you get to the screen that asks you to confirm you work at a job that is eligible for the tip deduction.  You'll need to provide information about your job (industry, role, and answer yes or no to some uncommon situations that preclude the tip deduction.)   See No Tax on Tips: How It Works in the One Big Beautiful Bill for more information.

Pongale cero. En seguida le comparto ligas a paginas que explica como puede actulizar el AGI en TurboTax:   ¿Dónde corrijo mi AGI en TurboTax Online? ¿Dónde ingreso el AGI del año anterior en TurboTax?

Gambling losses are only deductible if you itemize your deductions on your federal return, and they are also limited up to the amount of your winnings.     If you decide to itemize, to claim your losses, you would have to enter them in your itemized deductions section of your federal return.  TurboTax will transfer your itemized deductions to your Oklahoma return.     Can I deduct my gambling losses?

Q. Is there a way for me to manually enter this amount? A. It depends on whether you are just trying to report taxable scholarship or also trying to claim the tuition credit, on the student's return, rather that he parent's separate tax return.     If just trying to report taxable scholarship, on the student's return, enter the 1098-T with 0 in box 1 and the manually calculated taxable amount of scholarship in box 5.     Otherwise, you are doing it the right way, allocate the taxable amount to room & board.  There was a glitch earlier, but it has supposedly been fixed.  Be sure you're  updated. 

The SSI and SSDI goes on line 1 and line 2. Line 5 say to add lines 2-4 to equal the amount on line 1. It is for record keeping. This is a worksheet to help you figure it out. It is not a tax form, it is just a way to help you figure out if you paid more than half of the support.  Vacations are support, if you pay for it instead of the ABLE account.   I agree with what Diane said If the money remains in the account until Dec 31 - it is not used for support. A nuance -If the money was contributed by you or other's and removed the same year, it is not support provided by the child.   For you to claim your dependent, putting the SSI and SSDI into the ABLE account and having it stay there will help you use your expenses to claim support.   My apologies, I thought you were just asking about the ABLE account. I edited my first post. Let me give you: Examples from Pub 501 to go with the support worksheet Qualifying Disability Expenses

Thank you for your detailed reply.    My version of TurboTax works differently than you describe. Your Step 1 using the search function just opens up Intuit's idiotic Digital Assistant.    When I correctly entered taxable social security benefits (Form 1040SR Line 6b) instead of entering social security benefits (Form 1040SR Line 6a), my problem was resolved.
