Las declaraciones de impuestos federales se toman aproximadamente 21 días asumiendo que todo está bien y que no le hayan mandado alguna carta.    Si reclamó dependientes y en su declaración están incluidos los créditos de los niños y/o el crédito tributario por ingreso EITC, el IRS puede extender el plazo.   Puede seguir monitoreando su declaración en la página del IRS, la cual le comparto en el siguiente enlace: Rastrear mi Reembolso

The 1099-Q is  only an informational document. The numbers on it are not required to be entered onto your (or your student's) tax return. The interview is complicated and it's easy to make mistakes. Avoid it if you can and you probably can.  You can just not report the 1099-Q, at all, if your student-beneficiary has sufficient educational expenses, including room & board (even if he lives at home) to cover the distribution. When the box 1 amount on form 1099-Q is fully covered by expenses, TurboTax will enter nothing about the 1099-Q on the actual tax forms. But, it will prepare a 1099-Q worksheet for your records (you don’t need it). You would still have to do the math to see if there were enough expenses left over for you to claim the tuition credit. You also cannot count expenses that were paid by tax free scholarships. References: On form 1099-Q, instructions to the recipient reads: "Nontaxable distributions from CESAs and QTPs are not required to be reported on your income tax return. You must determine the taxability of any distribution."  IRS Pub 970 states: “Generally, distributions are tax free if they aren't more than the beneficiary's AQEE for the year. Don't report tax-free distributions (including qualifying rollovers) on your tax return”. "IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education states: If the entire 1099-Q went to qualified expenses, room and board, tuition, etc; then, you do not need to enter the form."  Otherwise, In TurboTax (TT), enter at: Federal Taxes Tab (Personal for H&B version) Deductions & Credits -Scroll down to: --Education   --ESA and 529 Qualified Tuition Programs (1099-Q)

You can edit the amount of overtime wages in TurboTax. Our help article, How to Enter Overtime Pay into Turbo Tax, details how to do this. Remember, you can't deduct all your overtime. You can only deduct the overtime premium, which is the extra you make above your regular rate.

Did NOT get a satisfactory answer. Replying to a question with a question is not an answer.  Totally dis-satisfied with Turbo.  I have been a customer for many years.  You have lost me. Your community help is useless.  Leticia1 was useless.  I filed my taxes with 1040.com and breezed right through.  No traps, no loops, no useless help. Accepted by IRS in 15 minutes.  Total time less than an hour.  Tried to advance out of the problem when working with Turbo, couldn't without paying.  After 8 hours of frustration, I quit trying.  Totally DIS-SATISFIED! 

I cleared cache and the 5695 form interview is still not working. I am not claiming external doors. Claiming furnace and air conditioner. When I get to the section “Did you install improvements  or replacements for enabling property?”it then takes me to “Improvements or replacements installed for enabling property” when I marked “no” on the previous screen. I am using the online version. Now when I try to delete the form and start over I cannot find the option to delete form under tools.
