Since you’ve already completed the IRS identity verification, the delay is typically due to additional review. You can call the IRS directly at 800-829-1040 to ask about the status, or check for updates on Where’s My Refund. 

Thanks, the approach you detailed keeps the ACA premiums from being deducted.  I can then enter the desired partial ACA premium deduction as a self-employed health insurance expense. I didn't receive any ACA tax credit so I think this is clean for us!

If your state and Federal tax refunds were offset due to child support related debt, you should receive a notice from the Bureau of Fiscal Service in the mail that will explain the offset of your refunds.  This letter will also supply details about how to contest the seizure of your refunds.   This Bureau of Fiscal Services link has information about back child support and it also has links on how to contact your state agency on this matter.   If we can be of further assistance to you, please provide as much detailed information (no personal information though) as possible - this will help us to better help you.

We're currently working on an update to form 5695. A potential calculation error has been identified on the federal return related to the Form 5695, Energy Efficient Home Improvement section, specifically the Enabling Property group.   This return can't be filed at this time due to a processing error. The fix is scheduled for March 6, 2026.

We took $198000 out of our TSP account (at age 621/2) and put it into this Lincoln account. The original plan was to have that money supplement our retirement. After a couple of years and noticing that the account had a value of about $225000, it was recommended that we 'close' that account and pay off most of our debt (other than house and 1 vehicle). We did that and were provided a check for $179000 with no tax withheld, payed off everything, and put $50000 into a CD that has matured, so that we had funds to pay our taxes. We knew that we would have to pay and have no issue with that. We just want to know if we are able to account for the loss between the original $198000 (that, since we moved the funds into another qualified account so there were no taxes paid on that amount) and the $179000 that we actually received. Lincoln charged us a penalty of $19000 for closing the account early so they made money from that transaction.

I have this same problem. Since I started working on my return in early January I assumed it was a bug that would be fixed with an eventual update. I check each time there is an update but still not fixed. It is March 5 and I just checked again and still broken.   I was hoping to see some info about if/when it would be fixed. Or if anyone knows if it matters if I file 8283 with "comparative sales" instead of "Average share price".   Thanks for reading.
