If you filed a joint tax return the AGI on line 11 of your 2024 Form 1040 is the same for both spouses.      But---you are saying "he did not file"--- which is puzzling.   If you are legally married you can file a joint tax return even if one spouse had little or no income.  That way you get the higher standard deduction for a married couple and are eligible for more tax credits.   You also do not mention what kind of disability income he is receiving.       How have you been filing your tax returns?   Have you been filing married filing separately in the mistaken belief that MFS would be better?   Or when you say he "did not file" do you just mean his income was not entered on your tax return?   Please explain.  If he receives Social Security disability that income must be entered on his tax returns.

To complete and file a 2022 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2022 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/   A 2022 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.   Note - If the 2022 tax return has a tax refund, you have until April 15, 2026 to file the 2022 tax return.  If filed after that date the refund will not be paid as it will be past the 3 years from the due date of the 2022 tax return.

Home Sale with Rental and Home Office Depreciation: In your situation the sale should be reported as a sale of your home. This means that in the rental activity you must be sure to select in Property Info it was sold and when prompted select Special Handling (this stops TurboTax from looking for sale information in the rental).  For both the rental and the home office you can also select that it was converted to personal use. The sale should not be reported in the rental activity or the home office. The information you need to collect for the sale of you home is noted below.   When you enter the home sale in TurboTax it will ask for a couple of items that are needed to report the sale correctly.   The total depreciation expense that was allowed during the period it was available for rent, include the total depreciation used as a home office as well.  Check your prior tax returns for this figure from both the rental and the home office. The total number of days the property was available for rent during the ownership period.  Results: The amount of depreciation that was allowed will be completely taxable up to the amount of gain received on the sale. The remaining gain if any, will be split between taxable and amount eligible for exclusion by using the following formula. The total days available for rent will be divided by the total days owned to determine the portion of the remaining amount of gain that is taxable for the rental period The balance will be eligible for the home sale exclusion TurboTax will do all the calculations based on your entry Steps to enter the Sale of Home in TurboTax: Wages and Income > Less Common Income > Sale of Home On the screen Primary use of home select 'Yes' Enter the number of days used as a rental (nonqualified use) Continue to Depreciation after May 6, 1997 > Enter the total depreciation for rental and home office in both boxes This will allow TurboTax to handle the sale with the correct amount of taxable gain and excluded home sale gain.    @user17710097333 

As mentioned previously in this thread, the $35 dollar fee you are referring to is for accepting the Up to 5 Days Early Option. In order to get the early refund you have to open a Credit Karma account. You can always go back and choose a different refund method, such as regular direct deposit, which has no fee.   For additional information see the following sites:   How do I review my fees in TurboTax Online?  Why am I being charged for TurboTax Free Edition?

  I HAVE TO VERIFY MY IDENTITY     Sometimes the IRS chooses returns randomly to request verification of identity and sometimes there is something on the return that triggers the request.  No matter why the IRS has required you to verify your identity, you need to follow their instructions in order to receive your refund.  If you do not verify your identity you will not get your refund.   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/security/tips-for-handling-identity-verification-requests-from-the-irs/L55RhaS2B   https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/identity-verification-for-irs-letter-recipients

MY RETURN IS UNDER REVIEW The IRS -- and the states-- are getting more and more vigilant to prevent identity theft and fraud.   People who file very early in the season are sometimes scrutinized more.  Do not take it personally.   TurboTax does not get any information from the IRS or your state after they accept your return, so no one at TT knows that your refund is delayed or why.  All you can do is wait for the state to finish processing your return.  Watch the refund site.  If the state wants more information from you they will request it. If they want you to verify your identity, you must follow the state's instructions in order to do that.   In many cases they will send you a letter—and you will have to wait for that letter.

@Duggadug2018 Are you using any of these forms? Why does TurboTax say my forms are locked or haven't been finalized? We're working hard to finalize all tax forms to meet Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and Revenu Québec (RQ) requirements. Some of these forms aren’t ready yet in TurboTax. If your return has one of the below forms, you can't file your return in TurboTax yet. If you are a TurboTax Online customer, we will notify you via email when your forms are ready to file in early March 2026. We appreciate your patience while we work on finalizing these forms. Thanks
