Is the amount sent/issued by the IRS the same as the refund amount shown on your federal tax return Form 1040 Line 35a? - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
If not, then go to this IRS website for information on reduced refunds - https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc203
Are you also receiving a state tax refund? If so, the state refund is sent directly to you based on how you chose to receive the state tax refund. Use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=m7ulm2n7

The return is pretty simple and there is no entry of $450. This is not after adjustments, it is supposedly pulled from my federal 1040 line 15 (which is $0). Is a negative number a problem? Turbotax says my audit risk is low so maybe I don't worry about it because my refund would be the same regardless of 0 or -450 of federal income.

Probably not. For income tax purposes, the factors that need to be present for the special rules for religious employment (pastor/clergy) are that you perform sacraments, perform worship services, and are in a position to control, conduct or maintain a religious organization. Church lay employees (custodian, Sunday school teachers, etc.) are almost never considered religious employees within the meaning of these rules. Most choir directors I have known have been lay employees, but it would depend on your duties. Performing sacraments is probably the big one. If you aren't recognized by your denomination to perform weddings and baptisms and other sacraments, then you aren't a religious worker for tax purposes.

1. Yes, the nonresident/part-year form 1-NPR is available. You can check forms availability each year here. Choose online or which desktop version.
2. Reciprocity does exist and you want to give the W-220 form to your employer to stop withholding WI taxes. Once you are being taxed correctly, you will not need to file a WI return at all - in the future.
3. Owe WI is incorrect. Your WI income should be zero with a full refund. In the WI return:
in step by step mode for desktop or using online, complete your WI return
be sure you have marked your legal residence as MI for the full year.
as you go through the WI return, look for a screen that says Wages exempt from income
enter your full WI wages.
4. You do owe MI for the full amount this year. Next year, when the proper MI tax is withheld, you won't have the problem.

Thanks for the reply. My entire proceeds in not $0.08 that is just the amount that my 1099DA differs from my csv file. For example, let's say my proceeds on my 1099DA is $2,064. 38 and my calculated proceeds off my csv is $2,064.30. This is an example of what I am incurring. The dollar amount is correct, but the cents is off by $0.08. Will this be an issue to report $2,064.30 versus the $2,064.38?

Only the $2,150 will appear on line 8f of your 2025 Schedule 1. This is accomplished by telling TurboTax in the HSA contributions section that you will have the $2,150 excess returned. TurboTax will still show $4,300 on line 9 of Form 8889. That's fine. The 2026 excess returned plus all of the NIA will appear on line 8f of your 2026 Schedule 1. This is accomplished by telling TurboTax in the HSA contributions section that you will have the that excess returned and by entering the 2026 Form 1099-SA in the HSA distributions section.

I have the exact same problem with form 5695 calculating the 30% of the cost of the water heater, and it does not include that in line 29h. My workaround, until TTAX fixes this, is that I entered the cost of the HPWH under the Heat Pump section (line 29a), and the calculation gets done properly. If they do not get this fixed, I think it is justified because a HPWH is just another form of a Heat Pump. But I am waiting till April 15 to file, hoping that this will get fixed.

The only thing you need to know going back to previous years is whether any bonus (special) or section 179 depreciation was taken on any of the assets. When you enter each asset into TurboTax, you will be asked for the amount of special or section 179 depreciation taken in previous years, if any, as it will affect the current year calculation. You can look on the depreciation schedules and/or past Forms 4562 to determine this for each asset. TurboTax will calculate depreciation for previous year assets based on the cost of the asset, type of property you designate and the year put into service, along with any special or section 179 elections made.

Does the IRS website indicate it was sent? - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
Did you request to have your TurboTax account fees paid from the federal tax refund?

There was nothing on the K1 regarding the sale of the stock. The stockholders sold their stock. When I enter the sale numbers, because there were two stockholders, shouldn't this be split? There is no way that one stockholder should pay capital gains on the entire sale.

You will need to file a tax return in the child's name. The IRS allows parents to report a child's income on their own return (using Form 8814) only if that income consists entirely of interest, dividends, and capital gain distributions.
Since your child must file their own return, you have two options depending on which version of TurboTax you are using:
If using TurboTax Online:
You must create a brand new account with a different username for your child.
Start a new return for them.
In the "Personal Info" section of your child's return, you must check the box that says "Someone else can claim me as a dependent." This ensures you still get the dependent credit on your return while they pay the tax on their specific income.
If using TurboTax Desktop:
Go to File > New Tax Return.
Create a separate file for your child.
Again, make sure to mark them as a dependent of someone else in the personal info section.
You may still file your own returns claiming your child as your dependent.

I have several 1099 Original Issue Discount (OID) forms. For all of them, the review is telling me "the bond premium adjustment is greater than the interest income reported...reduce the bond premium amount...and report any excess on Schedule A. Two questions: 1) why isn't TT doing this calculation for me and 2) where do I enter the excess on Schedule A.

Line 20 says if line 11 column c is more than line 19 (it wasn't), then enter the difference. Line 11, column C was ZERO, or less than line 19. So ZERO should be entered. Turbo Tax has mad a mistake. How do we get them to correct it?
