Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   TurboTax only shows you an estimate.   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.   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_...   After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

I kindly and respectfully hope our friends at TTax, particularly development, QA (!!!), and indeed management as well take note of the number of customers that have encountered this issue. It is yet another significant blemish on their brand, and will likely result in further erosion of their future customer base (including myself).   As a retired (30+) year software developer and senior manager, it is abhorrent to see this issue persist through so many updates since the issue was first reported. At a minimum (absent an actual fix), they should have at least imbued a callback hook on the 'Continue' button failure notifying the user - rather than leaving so many to ponder, force quit, and grasp out for community help . Additionally, as easily reproducible, at least introduced a test case to address an obvious QA miss and product defect. The SOP for any self respecting software shop.   No rant, just a polite expression of software quality disappointment.    

To get deductions for your truck and travel trailer, you should first check if the sales tax you paid exceeds your state income tax, as you can deduct the sales tax on major purchases if you itemize on Schedule A.    Additionally, if the travel trailer has basic sleeping, cooking, and toilet facilities, you may be able to deduct the interest on the loan as a second home mortgage deduction.    If you use either vehicle for business purposes, you can add them as assets in the self-employment section and depreciate them (or use the mileage deduction for the truck).   Also, the truck may qualify for the new vehicle interest deduction. There are a few qualifications that are required in order to be eligible for this deduction.   According to What is the vehicle loan interest deduction?, here are the rules: "It was purchased, not leased, in 2025. It’s a brand new vehicle. In other words, you didn’t buy it used. Its final assembly was in the U.S. You can check this by entering your VIN and model year into the VIN decoder provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. You’ll also include the VIN on your tax return. It's a car, van, SUV, motorcycle, or pickup truck that weighs less than 14,000 pounds. You bought it for personal use. You didn’t pay the interest to a family member or a business you own. The loan must be secured by the vehicle."
