DID YOU E-FILE?   Did you e-file?   Did you go through all three steps of the FILE section and click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”     When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted  or rejected your federal e-file.  If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.   Check your e-file status:   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/    What does it say in your account?  Does it show that the return was accepted?   Or does it say something else---like "rejected," "printed," or "ready to mail?”

Because your spouse is a part-year resident, Virginia law says that if you file jointly, you must both use Form 760PY (the Part-Year Resident form).   Ensure the dates are correct for residency: Go to the Personal Info section. Review your spouse’s residency. Ensure they are marked as Part-Year with their specific dates. Review your residency. Ensure you are marked as a Full-Year Resident of Virginia. Your residency dates will be  Jan 1 – Dec 31. When you get to the Virginia state interview, the software will ask: "Which form do you want to use?" or "Do you want to file a joint part-year return?" Select the option to file Jointly on Form 760PY. This will allow you to stay on one return while still identifying you as a resident for the whole year.

Check your  Fidelity  the download is only for viewing, the actual files to use in the program wont be ready until march 11  for mine! And I agree, I only use Turbo Tax so the long 1099 misc files are automatically entered into the program! I have Windows 10 PC But needing Windows 11 is a scam between Turbo Tax and Microsoft, I am not going to buy a new PC just to be able to download the program to my computer this year  !!
