Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS releases your refund.    The IRS states that most federal tax refunds are issued within 21 days of acceptance, however, some may take longer if they require additional review. Also, by law, the IRS cannot issue EITC or ACTC refunds before mid-February. This applies to your entire refund, not just the portion related to those specific credits.   Here are a few FAQs to help you track your refund: When will I get my federal tax refund? How do I track my state refund? Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"? Why do some refunds take longer than others? What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

As far as how you acquired it is concerned, you would say you purchased it, assuming you had done that originally. It would be considered your principal residence, assuming the garage is attached to the house you live in. The cost would be what you paid for the house multiplied by a fraction based on how big the garage is compared to the house. The the land value you may need to estimate based on what you can discern from your property tax bill.   On the screen that says Do any of these situations apply to this Property? you need to check the "first year I rented", "I rent out part of my home", and "I converted this property from personal to rental use" options.   As an example, if you paid $200,000 for the house and the garage was 25% the size of the house, the cost of the garage you enter would be $200,000 times 25%. If the land cost $20,000 when you purchase the house then it would have been 10% of the cost, so you would take 10% of the cost of the garage and use that for the land value.   TurboTax will calculate the depreciation automatically based on the cost and date put into service entries you make.    

Currently there is no built-in feature to automatically alphabetize a list of charities in TurboTax Online or within the "Step-by-Step" interview mode of TurboTax Desktop.    In TurboTax Desktop 2025, there is a technical workaround using Forms Mode to sort your data.   Here's how: Select the Forms icon in the upper-right corner of your screen. In the list of forms on the left, locate and select the Charitable Contributions Worksheet (or the Schedule A Worksheet section for donations). Click on any line within the table where your charities are listed. Go to the Edit menu at the top of your program. Select Sort Table. A dialog box will appear; choose to sort by Charity Name in Ascending order. Click OK. This will reorganize your current list alphabetically.
