Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted? Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".   After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.   Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.   To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product. If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds If accepted by the state 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_...
I've checked every day for the past 10 days, but still get the same error message, and it won't let me file my return without it. Long-term TT user, but ready to jump ship.

I entered your numbers into my sch A. The 1116 pulled all but the charity through for me. On the desktop version, you can directly enter the charity onto the form. I was able to get through without an issue. I can't figure out why yours is not coming through unless an update issue. I suggest you delete the form 1116, save your return. Update. You may have to update several times since you may not do it every day like me. Then, try again.   The final situation would be to switch to forms mode and type in the missing information. If you need to do an override, you will need to go back through step by step and see if you can force the program to hold the numbers. Then you can cancel the override and the numbers should stay.

Entering Royalties into TT Premier Desk Top (directly on Royalty 1099-MISC entry page. Enter my name, Enter Payer's Name, EIN, Box 2 amount. no check in box for other info 1-18 or FATCA. Historically that completed the entry for a 1099-MISC Royalty. Press continue and select Royalty investment income. Press continue and get "Select or enter the royalty that earned this income" with red box below with red triangle and "We need some required info". Then "We'll include this 1099-MISC royalty income in the Royalty Income section (Schedule E) of your return. You can add other not on 1099-MISC later.  followed by another Red triangle "Needs info.    I don't recall anything like this in previous years. Need a clue. Is it asking the source of the royalty? Oil? Gas? and if so why isn't this asked on the entry page???

In TurboTax Deluxe, I see 'Wells Fargo' and 'Wells Fargo Clearing Service'.  For 'Wells Fargo' I get a message that documents are not ready for import until Feb. 13.  For 'Wells Fargo Clearing Service', a separate browser window opens to enter credentials.  If this is the path you're following, please share what happens next and we'll try to help.   Since the IRS has copies of all your 1099's consider using the Summary Method if you're unable to import.   @chinsinhawaii

Hi   I received a 1095-a form for 2025 tax year.   My former employer subsidizes my health care costs with a tax free monthly payment.  In researching this on line, there should be a question that asks if my payment is subsidized and there is nothing that does so.  The end result, Turbo Tax is showing a much bigger credit than I am due as a result.   In essence, my cost is 1250 per month,   former employer provides payment of 600 per month.  I did not get a prepayment on the tax credit.   I am using Premier for Mac

Hello, I made a Roth contribution in 2025 at Fidelity, which is in excess of limits due to my MAGI being too high.   I plan to withdraw the excess plus earnings, prior to tax filing due date. So, when I report in TT my Roth contribution, do I just report the earnings, and not the original amount contributed, or how should this be handled? I fear this would not match the info that Fidelity would provide to the IRS regarding my Roth contribution.   TT does give me the option of reporting a re-characterization of Roth to Regular IRA, but not an option to report a 'timely' withdrawal. (I can't do a re-characterization since I dont have work income).   Also, does TT flag if the Roth Contribution is in excess of IRS limits once all the income numbers are entered (and MAGI calculated)?   Thank-you.    
Can someone call me my number is {removed}
