You can only print and mail the state for free in the Desktop Download program or efile is $25.  In the Online browser versions the fees are to prepare the federal and state returns whether you efile or mail it  unless you use the Online Free Edition.    Did you also see the separate fee for federal?   How to review your fees https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/charges-and-fees/help/how-do-i-review-my-fees-in-turbotax-online/00/26353

Make sure you enter your full RMD (from the previous year's Form 5498) only once, not with each 1099R. If this still doesn't work, go into the forms and trace what is happening. Changes can also be made within these forms, but I'd then go back thru TurboTax's questions and make sure everything looks okay.

Form 8915-F (Qualified Disaster Retirement Plan Distributions and Repayments) is expected to be available in TurboTax soon. Availability of the form is based on IRS finalization.   You can also check for forms availability using this link click here.   Your TurboTax program must be updated for full functionality of the form when it is available.   If you are using TurboTax Online, the program updates for new tax laws and other features automatically in your web browser. You do not have to manually update like in TurboTax desktop software.     If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can manually check for updates for  your TurboTax program by clicking on "Online" in the black bar near the top of your screen and selecting "Check for Updates."

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.   "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  

Yes, both of you will have to enter Form 1095-A on your tax returns. TurboTax will ask you questions about if the policy was shared with someone and how to allocate the costs and credit.    The percentages that you should enter for your premium, your SLCSP, and your advance payment should be an amount that you and your ex-spouse agree on. It could be 50/50/50 for  your premium/ your SLCSP/your advance  or another amount. Make sure you are in agreement and that the percentages on all tax returns add up to 100% together.   TurboTax will calculate the information that should be on your return based on your answers.   Refer to the TurboTax article Where do I enter my 1095-A? for navigation instructions.   TurboTax will automatically fill out Form 8962 once you enter your Form 1095-A if your ex-spouse received advance payments of the Premium Tax Credit.   For more information, refer to the TurboTax articles: What is the Premium Tax Credit? and When should I include Form 8962 with my tax return?

Try entering just (only) the first three (3) characters; do not include dashes nor spaces.   You can also often select "I don't have a State ID/Driver's License."   The State ID/Driver's License is an optional security measure, but the IRS does not actually require it to process your federal return.

You have to enter it somehow.    Key it in by hand, import it or snap a photo in the mobile app.   ALL of your 2025 W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return.     Go to Federal>Wages & Income to enter a W-2. After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-forms/get-copy-w-2/L8FTim9MO_US_en_US?uid=m68ee4os   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/import-enter-w-2/L55HzdeDr_US_en_US?uid=m68efe36
