In TurboTax Online (especially when filing a "coupled" return), the software often "optimizes" your return by automatically transferring credits to the higher-income spouse to maximize the immediate refund.   If you want to override this and carry your tuition forward to a future year when you'll actually have taxable income, you need to manually make those changes. Here is how to do it:   Go to the "Student" profile: Navigate to the Deductions & Credits section and find Student / Tuition.   Go through your T2202 entry again. After you enter your tuition amounts, look for a screen titled "Transfer or Carry Forward?" or "Unused Tuition." TurboTax will ask: "How much of your unused federal tuition would you like to transfer to your spouse?" Change the amount to $0. By entering $0 in the transfer box, the software is forced to move the entire remaining balance into your "Carry Forward" bucket (Schedule 11).   Check the spouse section: Switch to your spouse’s return (if using the "coupled" view). Go to Deductions > Spouse/Partner Transfers. Review the Federal/Provincial Tuition Transfer screen. If there is an amount appearing there, you can often click "Delete" or change the claim amount to $0 on their side as well.   I hope this helps!   Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

I got this information yesterday afternoon.  I know it's doesn't help much. "Hi Tim, thank you for reaching back out to us. At this time, there aren't any updates our team is working diligently to get this resolved and we should have an update soon, once we do, we will reach back out to you.  Thank you for your time and patience through this."   I will paste you text in that thread on their FB page.

No. Under the current tax laws (TCJA), the federal deduction for "Unreimbursed Employee Business Expenses" is suspended for W-2 employees.   Because you are an employee (W-2) rather than an independent contractor (1099), the IRS does not allow you to deduct mileage as a miscellaneous itemized deduction on Form 1040. This applies even if your travel is mandatory and your employer does not reimburse you.   While the federal government says no, several states still allow W-2 employees to deduct mileage on your state-level tax return even if you can't do it federally.

Had the same thing happen.  Unfortunately, I have depended upon TurboTax for many years and just assumed that a check of the return at the end of the operation would pick up any discrepancies.  It did not and allowed $0 for the part of my Social Security that should have been taxed at 85%.  I efiled looking for my big refund, but credit to the IRS, they put it through their computers and it became $470.  I don't think it makes much sense to require my double checking the return before filing, especially when I paid to have it done.   Time to move on.

The 1099-S is not always required to be generated, for example, on a house sold by a married couple for less than $500,000.   If the company is not inclined to issue you a copy of the 1099-S, based on what you have said, I would not worry about the lack of the form, and just continue with your return.

F1040-526-04 - If 'PINTypeCd' in the Return Header has the value "Self-Select On-Line" and the filing status of the return is married filing jointly and Form 1040, [('CombatZoneLiteralCd' and 'CombatZoneCd') in 'CombatZoneDtl' and 'SpecialConditionTxt' and 'SpouseDeathDt' ] do not have values, then 'SpouseBirthDt' in the Return Header must match the e-File database.

Good news and bad news. The accepted on TurboTax means that your name and social along with any other identifiers MI requires was met by your return and taken into their system. The MI system will show no record found:  until it is in their main processing system.  if the AGI or refund amount is off by $1 While 6 weeks feels long, if your return was flagged for review or identity verification, it can take longer. If you were flagged for identity verification, they would mail a letter to your address on file.   Use the Michigan Treasury eServices portal. Select "IIT Individual Income Tax" and then "Communicate with Treasury."   As for your missing form, follow these steps: Sign in to your TurboTax account Go to Your tax return and documents Select  2025 Select add a state (this just lets you in) Your return opens Select Tax Tools on the left Select Print Center Choose Print, Save or Preview this year's return Select Include government and TurboTax worksheets If your MI is truly missing, MI may have rejected your return after the initial acceptance. 

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.  You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.  You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.  Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.   The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due  Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.  You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment  Select your product below and follow the instructions.  Amend TurboTax Online  Amend TurboTax CD/Download
