Did you choose to pay your TurboTax fees by having them deducted from your federal refund instead of paying upfront using a credit or debit card before you e-filed?   That means your fees and a $40 "refund processing fee" are subtracted from the refund before it is sent to you.   First you need to check the IRS refund site to see if your refund was issued, and look to see how much they issued.   https://www.irs.gov/refunds   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   What is Refund Processing Service?

To enter the interest paid on a new vehicle loan, navigate to the Car Loan Interest screen in TurboTax.     Federal > Deductions & Credits > Add more deductions > Cars and Other Things You Own > Car Loan Interest    To qualify for the car loan interest deduction, your vehicle must meet all of these requirements:   You purchased it in 2025.   It isn't leased. It’s a brand new vehicle, not used. Its final assembly was in the U.S.  You are asked to check this requirement by entering your VIN and model year into the VIN decoder provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It's a car, van, SUV, motorcycle, or pickup truck that weighs less than 14,000 pounds. It was purchased for personal use. The interest wasn't paid to a family member or a business you own.  Your loan must be secured by the vehicle. You can also see the help article below for more information on this new deduction.  Vehicle Loan Interest Deduction

It depends, if you use fuel for equipment (generators, other machinery), then you can claim it the amount you used.   If you are referring to the fuel used for a vehicle then you have two options for claiming your vehicle expenses. The two options are:    Actual expenses- they include fuel, maintenance, repairs, tires, insurance, registration fees, licenses, depreciation, or lease payments. ‌You can only claim a portion of the expenses that are business-related.    Standard mileage rate- To use the standard mileage rate, you must own or lease the car. If you lease a car, you must use the standard mileage rate method for the entire lease period (including renewals) if you choose the standard mileage rate for your first year. ‌The standard mileage rate for business use of vehicles in 2025 is 70 cents/mile. ‌If you use the standard mileage rate, you can also deduct interest on an auto loan, registration and property taxes, fees, and parking and tolls as long as they are business related.   As you enter the information in TurboTax the program will help you decide which method is more advantageous for you.  See the following TurboTax help articles for more information:   Business Use of Vehicles  

The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/19/2026   An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk

Although you feel win10 is still supported by Microsoft, that is not accurate. As discussed earlier, Win10 is officially deprecated = no longer supported. No enhancements or bug fixes. The extended support just gets you security updates.  Please search 'is windows 10 deprecated' and you'll see all the details about what that means as a product. Then search 'windows 10 ESU bug fixes'.

Since the value is exactly 3945, which is definitely less than or equal to 3945, my hunch is that the issue is in rounding. Revisit your entries for DE taxes paid/withheld on W-2 and other sources as you did before, and try re-typing the numbers as their rounded whole number value, without any decimal values on the end (assuming that these have both dollars and cents i.e. $00.00, re-enter as just $00)    Changing this input from the W-2 will not cause problems for reporting. The IRS does not accept decimal values anyway, and will expect the final totals on your tax return to be rounded by the tax software regardless.
