Hello, Thank you for your notes. I haven't paid for Turbotax yet because I need to wait for several months before I can file my tax. If I proceed to continue and pay, my tax return will be filed right away - is this right? I went to "Print center" under Tax tools and "Tax returns and docs" under Home, but there is no PDF with instruction sheet that provide information on any scheduled payment. I could download the form 4868, but there is no information on scheduled payment in the form. Thank you.

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted? Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.
You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".
After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.
Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund. Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.
To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product. 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_...
After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

This answer assumes you are using Online TurboTax and that you have not yet filed your return. If you have already filed, we can tell you how to print/download a PDF. For seniors age 65 and older and meet the other qualifications for the new Enhanced Senior Deduction, TurboTax automatically fills out Schedule 1-A in the background and then enters the amount of the deduction on the Form 1040, Line 13b. It is not part of the standard deduction--it is a completely separate deduction on its own line. If you are "married filing jointly" and both qualify, then you both get the new deduction. If you are "married filing separately", however, you are not eligible. Single filers, HOH filers, and qualifying surviving spouse, if they otherwise qualify, are eligible. You appear to be using Online TurboTax--at least that is what a tag shows underneath your question above. If you are still preparing your online return, and want to verify that you received that new senior deduction, here's how you can preview the Form 1040 and confirm you are getting the enhanced senior deduction. If you already printed out a copy of your return, you can view the Form 1040, Line 13b and Schedule 1-A where it was calculated. If still preparing your online return, here's how to preview it: With your return open go to the left column menu, and click on TAX TOOLS, then subtab TOOLS. In the Tools window choose "View Tax Summary." On that Tax Summary screen you should see that you are getting "Additional Deductions (Schedule 1-A)." Then, while still on that Tax Summary screen, you can further verify it by going over to the left column menu and under Federal clicking on "Preview my 1040." That opens up the Form 1040 Worksheet. Scroll down to Line 13b, and the figure there includes the enhanced senior deduction from the Schedule 1-A. And while you are there, you should see your standard (or itemized) deduction on Line 12e.

If you're referring to a date provided by TurboTax, that is an estimate based on a common 21-day processing time for most returns, but some are faster, some are slower. First, be sure you successfully filed, and if efiled, that it was accepted. Go to the Tax Home and look at the efile status. What status is shown there? Does it say accepted, rejected, printed, started, ready to mail, or what? It it was efiled and accepted (or if you mailed the return), use the IRS "Where's My Refund" lookup tool at this website: https://www.irs.gov/refunds NOTE: If you printed and mailed the return, it can take at least 4 weeks just to show up in that IRS tool. To use that IRS tool, you will need to enter the correct tax year, your filing status, your SSN, and the Federal refund amount from your Federal 1040, Line 35a. For the refund amount don't use a summary figure that TurboTax might have showed you on a screen that uses a sum of the Federal and state. Look at your actual Federal return to get the figure from Form 1040, Line 35a.

When the TurboTax Tax Home shows a return has been "accepted", that's an efile term. It means that after you efiled, it was in the proper format and accepted for the IRS to begin processing it. Later on the IRS does not use the word "accepted" at it's "Where's My Refund" tool. Instead, it has 3 stages: Return received and is being processed Refund approved Refund sent and an expected date provided You didn't say what you are seeing for your refund status at the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool: https://www.irs.gov/refunds If that tool says it is still being processed, then only the IRS knows what all they are doing with your return. Since it's been longer than a month, if you wish, you could phone them to see if you can learn anything about the delay. They may or may not be able to tell you anything. IRS: 800-829-1040 (7AM-7 PM local time) Monday-Friday

March 17, 2025, I asked TurboTax Deluxe to download my broker info for 2025 (1099-INT, 1099-DIV, etc.). TT went through the motions, I entered my I.d. and password for my broker and then it stopped at a screen where I had to click the word MORE. I tried and tried and nothing would happen so after 10 minutes I decided to minimize the screen to see if Norton was running something in the background. When I minimized the screen, lo and behold under it was a screen showing my broker’s 2025 Combined 1099 with three dollar amounts for: INT, DIV, and I forget the third. I clicked to download everything. I immediately switched to Forms to see if the broker had downloaded my 1099-R that I received a month ago and already entered and yup, the broker filled in the 1099-R FORM and my identical one was also there. I deleted the duplicate. What is horrifying is that each FORM filled in from that Broker download (about 10) has the red ❓next to it meaning something is wrong or missing. Last week I downloaded my two accounts from Edward Jones and every one of those has a red ❓next to the Form, too. In six years this has never happened. Is anyone else having this problem?
