If your 2025 Federal 1040 income tax return has already been submitted and accepted, you should not have to amend just to submit IRS form 8379 Injured Spouse Allocation.  IRS form 8379 Instructions state:   File Form 8379 when you become aware that all or part of your share of an overpayment was, or is expected to be, applied (offset) against your spouse's legally enforceable past-due obligations. You must file Form 8379 for each year you meet this condition and want your portion of any offset refunded.    You must file Form 8379 within 3 years from the due date of the original return (including extensions) or within 2 years from the date you paid the tax that was later offset, whichever is later. Certain circumstances described in section 6511 may extend this period.   If you need assistance completing the form, you may want to contact a tax professional for assistance.    TurboTax Help may be found here.   [Edited 02/25/2026 | 3:33 PM PST] @rossamanda15

You should definitely contact them to see what happened.   The trust should have received the 1099-S and issued her a K-1, but that apparently did not happen.   If the 1099-S reports just her share, you can enter it.  Where do I enter Form 1099-S?

Gifts given to family members, friends or other individuals are not deductible.   Gifts received are not taxable to the person who received the gift, and are not entered on a tax return.   If your gift exceeds the yearly limit ($19,000 per individual)  imposed by the gift tax rules, then you will need to complete a Form 709 gift tax form and send it to the IRS, although it is very unlikely that you will owe any tax.   TurboTax does not support Form 709.  It is not an income tax form and would not be included as part of an income tax return.   Here is a link to the form: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f709.pdf   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/estates/the-gift-tax-made-simple/L5tGWVC8N     Here's a link for Form 709 preparation software:  https://www.puritas-springs.com/product-category/federal   Here are some useful videos on the Form:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5wJow5h-No   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z_28sVOrTY  

Thank you for your reply! I had already done all of the steps you listed and still received the message that I was filling out an amended return for the year nothing. I was able to use form view to complete the return. 

Yes, you can contact the IRS for individual returns at 800-829-1040 since it’s bee more than 21 days since you e-filed.   Refer to the TurboTax article What if my federal refund is taking longer than 21 days? For more information.

I just successfully e-filed my GA 700/1065 forms. I tried earlier this morning and received the same error as before. I had also checked that my program was up to date this morning, which it was. I simply went back into the TT program after 1800 ET (6pm) , which was still open on my PC,  and hit transmit. Bingo it worked.   My bet is the problem was on TT's back-end/gateway that handles the  e-filing as nothing changed on my PC between for the past couple of days. I didn't even have to close and reopen TT.    I just checked here: https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product=Turbotax_online&bu=cg and the page now shows the forms are ready.    Good luck. Please report back if you can e-file to give others an idea whether this was a random event for me or if TT has resolved the problem without informing us.

@user17720572227 wrote: I shouldn't have to pay someone to pay the govt. @user17720572227  You don't have to pay anyone to file your tax returns. We have already mentioned two free options, TurboTax Free Edition and IRS Free File. Another free option you could consider is VITA or TCE.  

J'ai fermé tous les formulaires inutilisés.  C'est une déclaration d'une personne âgée ayant seulement la RRQ, la sécurité de vieillesse et le supplément de revenu garanti avec des dépenses médicales.  J'ai rempli la même déclaration avec le logiciel ImpotsExpert et la transmission à Revenu Québec s'est bien fait.  Pourquoi cela fonctionne avec ImpotsExpert alors que la même déclaration est encore bloquée avec le logiciel TurboImpot? Pourquoi ces formulaires seraient bloqués avec TurboImpôts et non bloqués avec ImpotExperts?

The tax ID number on the 1099-S is my wife's SSN.   We will reach out to the executor or trustee to obtain additional information. We would need them to provide a K-1 as the previous commenter inquired about? Or what information would they need to furnish?

However, if you do pay off the child's loan using your funds it can be considered a gift.  You can give up to $19,000 to anyone without any consequence, however, if you give more than that amount to anyone you will need to file a Form 709 Gift Tax Return.  If you are married, both you and your spouse could give up to $19,000 each to help paying off the loan without needing to file the Form 709.  If you do need to file the Form 709, there won't be any tax consequence, but the amounts you donate will be counted against the lifetime exemption limit of $15,000,000.

The fee for the "5 day early" refund is $35, so it seems unlikely that choosing that option suddenly cost you an extra $400.    Where are you seeing that amount?     How can I see my TurboTax  fees?  https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/review-fees-turbotax-online/L1XnIzgzg_US_en_US?uid=m682vq7k   Did you already e-file?   If you have not e-filed, you can back out of that option by going back  through the FILE section.   If you already e-filed you are stuck with "5 days early" if the return is accepted.  If it rejects you can try to remove that option in the FILE section before you re-file.       "5 days early" means you are supposed to receive your federal refund from one to five days sooner than the refund date shown on the IRS refund site.   If it does not meet that "at least one day sooner" date, they are supposed to refund the $35 fee.   You have to pay attention to the date on the IRS refund site. 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
