It varies from state to state.  Some states are fairly quick with refunds, while other states can take a long time processing returns--even several weeks--as they crack down on detecting fraudulent returns.     Here are some things you should check:   First, you need to be sure your state return was successfully filed.   If you efiled, be sure your efiled state return was accepted.  If you used Online TurboTax, you can check by looking at the Tax Home in your Online account.   Or did you choose to file by mail instead?  TurboTax does not mail it for you.  If you chose that method, you have to print, sign, date, and mail it.   The FAQ below tells how to check on a state refund and has a link for your state.  Then you'll see information for your state (which may include info on how long it takes in your state) and a link to go to your state's "Where's My Refund" tool.   Your state may also have a FAQ section at it's "Where's My Refund" site that tells how long to expect in your state.   Choose your state from the table in this FAQ: FAQ:  How do I track my state refund? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...1

You can group them all together on the other medical expenses paid screen, but you need to keep records of the detail in case of inquiry.  Do not duplicate anything you include in the total.      The interview goes through each category and those categories are each reported on the Medical Expenses worksheet.   But only the total of that worksheet goes to Schedule A.       You can only deduct the expenses that are in excess of 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) and you must itemize instead of taking the standard deduction.  

Generally, you cannot claim expenses related to your vehicle if you use it to commute to work. However, if you use your car for something like Lyft or Uber, you might be able to claim repairs for your personal vehicle if you use it for work, but there are specific conditions to meet: Eligibility: If you’re self-employed, you typically can deduct expenses for the miles you drive or for the actual automobile costs for business purposes. You can calculate your driving deduction by adding up your actual expenses or by multiplying the miles you drive by the IRS’s standard mileage rate. The per-mile rate for 2024 is 67 cents per mile. The rate increases to 70 cents per mile for 2025. For more detailed information, you can check out these resources: IRS: Business Use of Car TurboTax: Are Car Repairs Tax Deductible?

Colorado actually provides taxpayers the option of deducting qualified charitable contributions from your state return when you take the standard deduction on your federal return.  This is why you are receiving the message to mail in Form DR 1778 (E-Filer Attachment Form) from Colorado.   If you have entered charitable contributions into the program, TurboTax will generate Form DR 0104AD that is a part of your Colorado filing which is submitted electronically. However, any supporting documents would need to mailed in with the E-Filer attachment form.  Please see this section for more details on when supporting documentation would need to be sent in.

Are you trying to total all of the payments and withholding from a 1099-G?  Because the payments are in box 1 and the withholding in box 4.   If you are trying to get all of your payments and withholding from your 2021 federal tax return then the payments and withholding are on line 32 of your 2021 1040.   @bluebirdy93 

In order to amend a previous years' return, that was filed using TurboTax Online:   When you first open your return and see "let's keep working on your taxes", scroll down to the section "Your tax returns and documents". If you prepared your 2023 tax return in TurboTax, in the same account, you should see "2023" listed among the documents you can select to view. If you used a different TurboTax account for 2023, you would need to log in to that account to view your return. See this help article for more information.   See this help article for filing nonresident returns. You would need to change information in the Federal return, in the Personal Info / My Info section.    

The IRS does not want you to enter nontaxable 1099-Q. Remove it from the software, place it in your tax file with your records. IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education states: Page 45: Don't report tax-free distributions (including qualifying rollovers) on your tax return.
