2-14 was only ten days ago.     TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.      First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.     You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2025 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds   To track your state refund:     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr   If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refunds-take-longer-others/L14YlqFrH_US_en_US?uid=lexdr7zh . https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/irs-refund-taking-longer-21-days/L2vRAJbdU_US_en_US?uid=lexe7lst         If you are getting earned income credit on line 27 or additional child tax credit on line 28 You are subject to the delay required by the PATH act.  Do not expect your refund before early March   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/federal-refunds-delayed-due-path-act/L5jnQJsBi_US_en_US   Note:  “Accepted” is not the same as “approved”.  TurboTax tells you the e-file was accepted if the IRS deems that there is enough information on the return for them to take it in for processing.   Only the IRS can approve of the refund, which is a later stage of processing.  If the IRS approves your refund they will provide a date for the refund to be issued.   FROM THE IRS WHERE’S MY REFUND SITE: https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund How it works Where's My Refund shows your refund status: Return Received – We received your return and are processing it. Refund Approved – We approved your refund and are preparing to issue it by the date shown. Refund Sent – We sent the refund to your bank or to you in the mail. It may take 5 days for it to show in your bank account or several weeks for your check to arrive in the mail.  

I'm changing my reply.  This is not a TT bug.  It is lack of support.  The program is telling us there is not support. I don't think TT or Intuit responds to these post.  I hope they are, at least, listening.  This is a simple issue to support.  Having to manually remove the taxable portion is unacceptable.

Thank you again, but after contacting my financial inst. (Schwab), they indicated that this situation would not require a revised 1099-K for 2025, but for me to take a distribution in 2026 for which I would receive a 1099-R with a "P" for return of previous year excess contributions.  So this raises two questions:   1. What is the tax implication for 2025 - will I be taxed again on the excess contributions for 2025 but then get a refund on them when filing for 2026? 2. Not sure how to document this situation within Turbo Tax for my tax return.   Joe

Thank you SteamTrain for your explanation . My specific situation was as follows:  I paid ALL of my “State” estimated tax payments for “2024” (including 2024 4th qtr ) in Dec. 2024. I was trying to confirm my responses to two Turbo Tax form questions for “Uncommon Situations”. 1) One TT form said “Select all boxes for State tax payments made in 2025 for 2024”. There was a CHECKED check box that said “2024 4th quarter estimated tax payment during 2025 to a state”. And I UNCHECKED this box since I paid ALL of my 2024 during 2024 – not 2025. 2) The next TT form said “How much of your 2024 estimated state taxes did you pay in 2025”? And I ENTERED “$0” since I paid ALL of my 2024 during 2024 – not 2025. Do you think my entries noted above were correct - including TT form in 2)?

No, this has been on Turbotax for nearly 30 years of commercial building depreciation. Shows as such in the depreciation reports. This is not something new for Turbotax. I looked back at my last depreciable big ticket item in 2017 and some from earlier and the step-by-step questions were about the same. I must have had to  muddle my way through form 4562, guessing on entries and then generally taking Section 179 each time when I could.  I also installed new asphalt in the parking lot in 2025 but that one was easily determined to be Land Improvements and the step-by-step was fine for that.  But TT is really lacking on this HVAC depreciation subject for a commercial property owner. They insist the H & B product is perfect for landlords. Not so.

Go back to the w2 screens in the federal income section and change the state information there to pull over correctly. Move or delete numbers in that area until your NC is correct. Your resident state automatically taxes all income and you need the nonresident correct. Example:  w2 form would look like this in the state section Resident state - total income minus NC income NC nonresident state -NC income

I am glad so many of you have been able to fix this issue, but I have now tried all of the above suggestions to no avail.  I had TT loaded on this Surface previously but due to an oversight on my part, I had to rebuild the unit from scratch yesterday.  Thus, all files are fresh and fully up to date.  My system is like the others: Win11, ARM chipset, etc.  I also tried loading TT on my wife's exact same PC and it worked perfectly.  I have also run through the suggestions on Google AI and had no luck.     So, if anyone has any further suggestions to move TT beyond the "OK, we know it's taking a bit more than a moment", I would be eternally grateful.

Thank you. I do not feel comfortable deleting the vehichle as it has all the history and is protected for four years. The vehicle was sold on Dec 17 so it was 4 years, or does because it was used in 21,22,23,24,25 (sold on dec 17) that counts as 5 years and can be 0?   I have tried to find the override, but doesnt that invalidate the protection? Both of these solutions seem to put me in harms way and how am I supposed to do that?   Is there any other way?
