Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities.  There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.   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.

Your question seems to be posting from online TurboTax.   When you use online TT, you get one return per fee, and each return needs its own email, account and user ID.   There are separate fees for federal and state.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-start-another-return-in-turbotax-online/00/25596 https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/     If you purchased and downloaded the desktop software, then you can prepare and e-file up to five federal returns and the state returns that go with them.  There is a $25 state e-file fee with desktop.   If you have more than five returns, print and mail the additional returns.  

Malheureusement, si vous avez acheté un code d'activation TurboImpôt Enligne Deluxe et que vous avez besoin de Premier, comme indiqué sur la boîte, ces codes sont des forfaits préétablis, et les mises à niveau ou l'ajout de service ne sont pas inclus.    Normalement, avec TurboImpôt Enligne, vous devez payer par déclaration. Si vous avez plusieurs déclarations sous la version Premier, nous vous suggérons de demander un remboursement à partir de ce formulaire en ligne: Demandez un remboursement.   Si vous avez besoin de la version Premier pour une déclaration seulement, vous devrez payer pour la version Premier pour cette déclaration et les autres déclarations sous version Deluxe pourront être appliquées à votre code.   Merci de choisir TurboImpôt.

As long as you have entered the stock information on the Form 8283 and save your tax information, along with your question here, you will be fine. If your inherited is switching to a purchase, the important thing is that inherited stock is considered long term and the inheritance date proves the basis. Comparative sales will work for the stock since it is sold on the market.  @RaySpiray723   @fla2025  as long as the entry makes sense, is accurate charitable donation $ amount and  you have the documents in case of an audit, you are fine.

Some questions: 1. Do you have an unusual attribute to your last name, like a space in it? Or is it unusually long? 2. Did you see a question in the Review which questioned your last name on the Information worksheet and asked you to add it to the Ohio Information Worksheet?   Generally, issues like this are rectified by going to the screen that the last name is coming from (probably federal Personal Info or My Info) and (re)adding the name there.   Are you using TurboTax Online, Desktop Windows, or Desktop Mac?

Vous ne m'avez pas bien comprise... Je suis travailleuse autonome, pas salariée. Lorsque je facture mon client, je suis obligée par la loi d'ajouter les taxes à ma facture, je n'ai pas le choix. Puis, 4 fois par année, je verse au gouvernement provincial le montant des taxes que j'ai facturées et que mon client m'a payées. Donc, ma question demeure la même: J'ai entré le montant du T4A dans Turbo Impôt. Plus loin, il me demande d'entrer la TPS/TVQ que j'ai collectée. Si je le fais, il l'ajoute au revenu du T4A et mon impôt augmente. Ça n'a aucun sens, le revenu du T4A ne comprend pas la TPS/TVQ. Je ne fais que la collecter et je l'envoie au gouvernement, ce n'est pas un revenu! Devrais-je simplement indiquer que je ne collecte pas ces taxes? Ou y a-t-il un endroit où je peux les déduire plus tard? Merci, Danielle

The “senior deduction” is added automatically by the software based on the date of birth and filing status you entered into MY INFO.  You do not need to take any extra steps to enter it. (And…the new senior deduction has nothing to do with whether you are getting Social Security)   The deduction is not on the same line as your standard deduction.  It is shown separately.on line 13b.     2025 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS SINGLE $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind + $2000) MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind +1600) MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $31,500  (65 or older/legally blind + $1600) HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $23,625 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)     For 2025 through 2028 there is an extra  deduction amount of up to $6000 per individual 65 or older filing Single, MFJ, or HOH which is phased out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers.   (The deduction phases out completely at $175.000 Single or HOH, or $250,000 joint)   The $6,000 senior deduction will be calculated on 1040 Schedule 1-A page 2 Part V Enhanced Deduction for Seniors which goes to 1040 line 13b. It is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e.  Turbo Tax automatically includes it. IRS Schedule 1-A https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/f1040s1a--dft.pdf   Need to see it? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/preview-turbotax-online-return-filing/L77WCkvnu_US_en_US?uid=m681fkhr   If you are not getting the senior deduction it is because Your date of birth in MY INFO shows that you were not 65 by the end of 2025 Your income is too high You are filing married filing separately
