Thank you, @DianeW777, I appreciate that. But we're not done here yet. TurboTax allows me to report the correct amount of dividend income on my Maryland return (which we just covered above), but I still have the problem of getting TurboTax to deduct the correct amount of interest on U.S. Government obligations from my Maryland return. Since we've taken a few detours since my original post, I will try to restate the problem more precisely below, describe a potential solution and ask you and the rest of the community if you have a better one. Also, since I'm not the only one, and Maryland is not the only state program, with this problem (see @Pip_12_mn's comment above and elsewhere), I'd like you to pass along the problem to your developers and see if they can fix it for next year.   I'd also like to point out, in view of @newusernameagain's interest in a court challenge, that @DaveF1006's comments about Maryland statutory residency, while interesting and accurate as far as they go, do not apply to me and are incomplete. The 183 day rule applies only if you also maintain a place of abode in Maryland for more than 6 months. That's not true in my case, but I can see how it could trip up some Maryland taxpayers who move late in the year. You can find relevant authorities here,  here, and here. Also, for completeness's sake, the statutory authority for part-year residents allocating income, deductions, etc. is here. (More to come.)

To resolve this issue:   1) Fully close TurboTax   Windows: Ctrl+Shift+Esc > Processes > End any TurboTax or Intuit processes. Mac: Quit TurboTax, then Activity Monitor > quit remaining TurboTax processes. 2) Remove duplicate installs Windows Settings > Apps > Installed apps: uninstall extra “TurboTax 20XX” entries (keep the one you use). File Explorer: delete leftover folders: C:\Program Files\TurboTax\ C:\Program Files (x86)\TurboTax\ C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Intuit\TurboTax\ Reboot. Mac Applications folder: if you see multiple TurboTax 20XX apps, delete duplicates. Finder > Go > Go to Folder: ~/Library/Application Support/TurboTax/ /Library/Application Support/TurboTax/ ~/Library/Preferences/ (remove com.intuit.turbotax*.plist if obviously duplicative) Empty Trash and reboot. @premalmeghna 

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi la correction n'est pas faite immédiatement pas le 2 avril. C'est dans 10 jours même si vous nous dit de faire une entrée dans le G2 c'est plus dans le bon formulaire c'est le L35 au lieu de L'annexe U qui ce complète.  Ca fait quelques années que vous avez des problèmes majeurs et vous faites des corrections vraiment tardives soient a la fin mars je trouve ca vraiment un problème majeur de ne pouvoir terminer nos déclarations de la bonne façon avant la fin mars

When you receive a notification from TurboTax that your return has been “Accepted” it means that the IRS has accepted it for processing. It doesn't mean that it's been processed yet, just that it's complete and accurate for them to start working on processing your return.   The IRS issues most refunds within 21 days, assuming that there's no delay and nothing is holding your return. Some returns are subject to an automatic hold when certain credits are claimed.    Also keep in mind that once your return is accepted for processing by the IRS and/or state, we have no control over your return.    You should track your refund directly from the IRS and/or Department of Revenue’s Website. These websites have the most accurate and up to date information. They get updated once a day.    I share the link: Where's my Refund  

TurboTax isn't requiring an upgrade in software because of the $2 refund. The upgrade is because you have a 1095-A.  The Free Edition only handles simple returns. Any 1095-A entry requires a Deluxe software or higher.

@JTO49 To view the "Flags" link (or bookmarked pages) in TurboTax on a Mac, open your return and navigate to the Tax Tools menu located in the left-hand panel, then select Tools and click on the Flags button. 

Didn't the post above  help?   For Windows…..What I would do on the old computer, is copy the whole Turbo Tax folder that is under your Documents. That should be where the .tax files and pdf files are stored. Also if you haven't done it, I would open each year in the program and save it as a pdf file, go to FILE - SAVE TO PDF so you don't need the program installed to view your return. Copy that folder to a flash drive or best yet is to burn it to a CD or DVD and then you will have a backup of them. Then on the new computer copy the folder (or files) from the flash drive to your Documents folder. You only need the tax return data file ending in .tax2024 to transfer into 2025. You can't transfer the programs. They have to be installed from the CD or Download. You don't need to install older programs unless you need to amend or you didn't save the pdf file. And they only support the last 3 years. If you install an older year you won't be able to update it or download any state programs, so you won't be able to open your return.

Guys this may be a real easy quick fix for this problem.  So I struggled for several days on this issue.  I use TurboTax on a MacBook pro using Firefox as my browser.  Stuck in the same endless loop that everybody else was username is correct password is correct but not doing anything past that always giving me an error.  So    Then I simply looked up how to enable third-party sharing on my e-trade account.  Go into your profile security settings and manage that.  While third party sharing was already enabled which doesn't explain why the error occurred I just hit save again and exited then tried to import into TurboTax again and it worked!    Hopefully this is the fastest easiest fix ever for you guys who are having the same issue.

If you have reached the annuity interview section and you have indicated "No" to the 403(b) plan question, follow these steps to bypass the annuity loop:   On the 1099-R entry screen, make sure Box 7 matches your form (likely Code 7 or Code 1) Ensure the "IRA/SEP/SIMPLE" box is unchecked  When the software asks, "Was this distribution from a 403(b) plan?", select "No, it's another type of qualified retirement plan" On the "Annuity information" screen, select "No" to periodic payments By selecting No in the above two screens, the software will treat it like a standard pension or 401k distribution and skip the "Annuity" questions entirely

Vérifiez si vous avez bien indiqué dans la section Profil des deux conjoints, que chaque conjoint veut fractionner le revenu de pension.     Repassez vos feuillets. Ensuite assurez-vous de bien identifier quel conjoint partage la pension.      Dans la section de l'optimisation, entrez le montant que vous voulez fractionner. Ne cliquez pas sur Optimisateur au fédéral, cliquez Continuer. Entrez le même montant au provincial. Avant de cliquer Continuer,  entrez le montant que vous souhaitez fractionner  sur le formulaire provincial au bas de l'écran ( dans TurboImpôt Bureau) si le montant n'y est pas. Faites-le dans les deux déclarations.     Les montants se rapportent aux bonnes lignes dans les deux déclarations. Celui qui reçoit le fractionnement:     Celle qui effectue le fractionnement:       Merci de choisir TurboImpôt
