Hello, I am also a Fulbright teaching grantee. When I follow the steps you provided and click other income, TurboTax tells me I cannot continue via the free version and that I must upgrade to deluxe for this situation. Can you please confirm if that is true or if I must be filling out something else wrong for it to be considered deluxe? Thank you!

Una vez que tu declaración presentada electrónicamente es aceptada, es demasiado tarde para actualizar la cuenta bancaria o para cambiar el método de pago en TurboTax. Llama de inmediato al servicio de pagos de presentación electrónica del IRS (Servicio de Impuestos Internos) al 1-888-353-4537 (atienden las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana).   Si tienes algún problema con pagos de impuestos estatales, ponte en contacto con tu agencia de impuestos estatal.  

No.  Only the IRS or your State confirms the tax refund will be direct deposited.   If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...

@khawandjean you're replying to a very old thread about some specific activation issue last year on the Intuis side which was resolved at the time.   every year there are some users who have issues with installation or activation for whatever reason usually due to issues on their PC that Intuit can't simply "fix".  presumably this is on Windows, you can try some of the suggestions in this thread for troubleshooting - in particular note the replies about issues with C++ and steps described here which may resolve that   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/issue-activating-turbotax-2025-after-installation-on-windows-11-pro/00/3761383

If your state return for the 2022 tax year was rejected or never filed,, there could be various reasons. Since it's for a previous year (2022), you may now be required to mail the return directly to the state's revenue agency.   You have options for requesting that the state agency waive any penalties. You can inform them that you have reasonable cause for the delay in filing, or you can request a first-time abatement of penalties.  

If you have filed your tax return, the you accepted the TurboTax account fees.   If you have not filed your tax return - You will have to contact TurboTax support for assistance with this problem. Use the key words Billing Issue See this TurboTax support FAQ for contacting support - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/turbotax-phone-number/L0Od33nMQ_US_en_US?uid=lfgviwbm

Normalmente las declaraciones federales y estatales se mandan juntas.  Si no has mandado tu declaracion federal, no puedes mandar la declaración estatal.  Si ya mandaste tu declaración federal y ya fue aceptada, entonces puedes mandar tu declaración estatal por separado.    Es posible que tu declaración federal o estatal, tenga algún error y por eso no te deje continuar.  Regresa a la declaración y revisa que no haya algún error que necesites corregir.  También es posible que tu declaración tenga formularios que no estén finalizados.     ¿Por qué no puedo presentar mi declaración electrónicamente? ¿Cómo presento electrónicamente mi estado después de haber presentado mi solicitud federal? Si después de revisar todo sigues teniendo problemas, es posible que borrar tus archivos temporales te ayude.  Si la memoria caché está llena o dañada, es posible que provoque problemas en TurboTax, así que tienes que borrarla de vez en cuando (es decir, quitar estos archivos temporales).   Sigue las instrucciones dependiendo del navegador que estés utilizando:   Google Chrome Mozilla Firefox Microsoft Edge Si el problema persiste, no dudes en contactarnos de nuevo.
