Yes, but it depends on how they pay you. If they pay you on a W-2 you are an employee, and can not file a Business with that as income. I don't expect that that is the case, so you can file a Schedule C for a small business. This can be done and included with your personal tax return. You will need Online Premium or Desktop Home & Business.

I can't find >Other Tax Situations under Federal.  As soon as I select efile, TT leads me to options how to pay>Direct Debit Consent>When Will Account be Debit>Verify 2023 AGI>Sign Your 2024 Return and there are PIN field with 5 digits.

Form 5805 is used to calculate the penalty for underpayment of estimated tax by individuals and fiduciaries. Part III Line 4 specifically requires you to enter your:   Itemized deductions for the period shown in each  column. If you do not itemize deductions, enter -0- here and  on line 6.  Estates or Trusts, enter -0- here, skip to line 9,  and enter the amount from line 3 on line 9  : Franchise Tax Board Instructions for Form 5805 : Franchise Tax Board Form 5805    

You will enter the withheld taxes next year on your 2025 return when you get the 2025 Form 1099-R since the withholdings are reported in the year that the tax was withheld.      You must include the excess deferral in your wages in the year the excess deferral happened. All you need to do next year add the 2025 Form 1099-R.   Please follow the steps below in your 2024 return to add the excess deferral on line 1h of Form 1040:   Login to your TurboTax Account  Click "Wages & Income" (under Federal) on the left side of your screen Scroll  down to "Less Common Income" and click "Show More" Scroll down to "Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C" and click "Start" Select "Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099" and click "Start" On the "Did you receive any other wages?" screen answer "Yes" and click "Continue" Continue until you get to the "Any other earned income" screen, answer "Yes" and click "Continue" On the "Enter Source of Other Earned income" screen select "Other" and click "Continue" On the "Any Other Earned Income" screen enter "2024 Excess 401(k) Deferrals" for the description, enter the amount and click "Done".     Please see Pub 525 for additional information.  

If you are late to pay federal tax, you are subject to owing interest on the late payments.   If you owe tax due, you have to pay it yourself by the filing deadline on April 15, 2025.      If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.    https://www.irs.gov/payments     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-payments/help/how-can-i-pay-my-federal-taxes/00/26212     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-payments/help/how-do-i-pay-my-irs-tax-due-with-a-check-or-money-order/00/26403      To apply for a payment plan with the IRS   Apply Online for a Payment Plan     You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment.  For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0  

"A parent can only claim a child if married filing jointly when they are only filing to claim a refund."   That may need a little clarification.  What it means is: if your income is so low, that you are not required to file, but your need to get your withholding back, you can file jointly, even if one of you is a dependent.      In your case, your income is so high (one of you has $70K), that doesn't apply.   If one of you is claimed as a dependent, you cannot file jointly. 

Sorry--no.   You cannot use TurboTax to file just one state form.   See if you can do that on the state's website.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0  

If you are in the Online program I suggest you run the Federal Review program.   Located under Federal on the left sidebar. This will review what you've posted so far, and identify problem areas. You can enter corrections directly from fere.

If you have a retirement plan work and are over a certain income then your deduction is limited automatically. Please see IRA deduction limits for more details. It seems you are in the phaseout range where you can get a partial deduction. So part of your contribution is already automatically nondeductible ($280).   If you are performing a backdoor Roth then you correctly selected to make the rest nondeductible.

This IS an IRS requirement NOT a TurboTax requirement.    When self-preparing your taxes and filing electronically, you must sign and validate your electronic tax return by entering your prior-year Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) or your prior-year Self-Select PIN.  

Yes, you can try obtaining a copy from the IRS even though you have not yet filed your tax return. Use the link below to start the process. You may have to wait, but can file an extension if it's not yet available. Transcript or Copy of W-2 How do I file an IRS tax extension? If you do have your last pay stub from your employer you can create a substitute W-2 and mail your tax return. How do I file a substitute W-2 using Form 4852? @dmajorhoffman88 

Property tax is entered under Deductions & Credits Your Home Property Taxes   In this section please enter the taxes paid on your main home and also all other property tax paid on additional homes as one additional entry.   (Add the taxes paid on homes other than your personal residence)   

You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS:  It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received.  It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript   Pay Social Security $62 per tax year for your W-2’s.:   https://faq.ssa.gov/en-US/Topic/article/KA-02501         The form 4852 is a last resort. This is what the form says:  If you don’t receive the missing or corrected form from your employer or payer by the end of February, you may call the IRS at 800-829-1040 for assistance. You must provide your name, address (including ZIP code), phone number, social security number, and dates of employment. You must also provide your employer’s or payer’s name, address (including ZIP code), and phone number. The IRS will contact your employer or payer and request the missing form.   Because of this, you cannot e-file a return with a 4852, it must be mailed in. I hope you can make the employer realize they really do want to make time now.    

@simonll75    Beyond that...no one can hazard a guess....since you didn't indicate WHICH State you are asking about.    Each state has entirely separate rules, and someone with that state's software might know what's going on, once they see which state you are talking about.
