How do I amend a tax return for a prior year?

The only way I can achieve that is to go to the income section in TT, and answer "Did this business end in 2025 = NO". This unselected the "Final return" in Form 568, and the calculations look correct. However: 1. The instructions for Form 568 state that the final return should be marked as such to prevent future tax obligation (or confusion)? 2. Wouldn't TT also ask me to pay $800 for year 2026, which I do not need to do? What other consequences will selecting "Did this business end in 2025 = NO" in the income section have that I should be aware of?   Thank you.

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?

I need help with this too. You sound like you are very familiar  with IT203. I have to file a IT203 because I work in NY.  I also am a Member of the NY National Guard but because my residency  is Pennsylvania  the National Guard pay W-2  has Pennsylvania at the bottom.  I am not including it on the NY income(columnB). But my question is do I subtract it on the Federal side under a subtraction modification S119 or is that only to subtract it if it was a W-2 from NY and tax exempt.  Subtracting it increases my refund. I guess my question is in order to subtract w-2 income from the federal side, does it have to be listed on the NY side. Thank u in advance  

In TurboTax Online, in the Minnesota state income tax return, at the screen Other Minnesota Credits, select Renters Credit.   At the screen Certificate of Rent Paid, the screen asks Do you want to enter the information from your CRP now?   You may select Yes or No.   At the screen Summary of Certificate of Rent Paid (CRP), you are allowed to edit or delete.

If you received a "Success" message but your data hasn't appeared in TurboTax, it is likely due to recent browser security updates regarding Local Network Access.   To fix this you need to allow TurboTax to securely retrieve your data through your browser settings: Locate the View Site Information icon (the "tune" or "lock" icon) on the far left of your address bar, just before the URL. Find Local Network Access in the dropdown menu. Toggle the switch to ON. Refresh the page and attempt your import again. What do I do when my data isn't imported into TurboTax Desktop even though it says successful import in my browser? If permissions aren't the issue, one of the following factors may be at play: Brokerage Delays: While most forms arrive by January 31, many brokerages delay Consolidated 1099s (like the 1099-B) until mid-February due to complex reporting requirements. Availability: Your brokerage must specifically "release" the import file to TurboTax. If it isn’t ready, we recommend checking back. Connection Blocks: Active VPNs or aggressive Anti-Virus software can occasionally block the import feature between your bank and TurboTax. Try disabling them temporarily or switching to a different browser.

Aside from the line 1 reference to the type of HDHP coverage, all the numbers on your 8889 are correct, so I believe that if TurboTax lets you e-file, that there will be no negative consequences.   Yes, it is odd to indicate the type of HDHP coverage that you don't actually have, but TurboTax's Review has been operating this way for the 10 years that I have been answering HSA questions, and I have never heard of the IRS giving any negative feedback on this situation.   This behavior has been reported.

@mofalaki ,  you report earned interest  from foreign source just as you would for domestic  interest.  I generally  follow --> under personal income tab,  select  " I will choose what I work on " and then  after satisfying the W-2  related prompts/ entries,  from the drop down list of types of  incomes, select  interest  income. Thereafter it  will ask if you have  "Investment income  say  "yes", then choose  "I will enter myself", then  will present you with  "tablets" for  1099-INT, 1099-DIV etc. Choose  1099-INT.  This will then allow you to enter interest  earnings   with a whole bunch of boxes --- enter only the name  " Who did you receive  interest from "  and fill in the appropriate boxes.   It will allow  multiple interest earnings, one  source at a time   ( clicking  the   "add investment source ") .   Then when  you go to the  "deductions and Credits " tab,  again  choose " I will choose what I work on ", then  enter all your normal  deduction and credit claims.  Lastly   under  "other estimated taxes etc. " group choose Foreign  Taxes Paid.  This is where you enter any  foreign taxes paid  to  the Foreign Taxing Authority ( Canada in your  particular case ).   Choose Credit and  follow through.   Does this help ?  Or did I mis-read your issue ?
