Sounds like you got pretty confused.   Home and Business is desktop download software that you use on your own computer and download to your own hard drive.  If you clicked on an offer for "Premium" you chose to use online TurboTax instead of your download.   You should contact support to help you unwind the mistake unless you actually want to use online software instead of the download.   To call TurboTax customer support   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/contact-turbotax/L2y9ZKpQB_US_en_US?uid=m5s9l2vh  

Sorry it's too,late to start a 2024 or prior online return or use the mobile app, either on Turbo Tax or the IRS.  And too late to efile.   If you need to do 2024 or prior you can buy the Desktop download here, TurboTax 2022 Prior Year Tax Prep - File Past Years' Taxes You will need Windows 10 or Mac OS Ventura 13 or later to install 2024.   If you can't install the Desktop program or if you have a simple return and want to file for free, you can print out the blank IRS forms and fill them out by hand.   Here are some basic forms….. Here is the IRS 2024 Form 1040 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040--2024.pdf or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors, https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s--2024.pdf And 2024 Instructions https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040gi--2024.pdf Sch 1 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s1--2024.pdf Sch 2 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s2--2024.pdf Sch 3 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s3--2024.pdf   2024 EIC and Tax Tables https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040tt--2024.pdf Then when you do file 2025 enter 0 for the 2024 AGI since you are filing 2024 late. You have to print and mail prior year returns. When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return. Don’t forget state.

To complete and file a 2024 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2024 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/   A 2024 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.

Yes, it is allowed to apply for an ITIN to file jointly with your spouse even if your spouse has no income assuming that you are filing as a resident taxpayer yourself (not filing on 1040NR).  However, your spouse must be willing to file a joint return with you and must make an election (and attach it to the tax return) to be treated as a resident alien for tax purposes.   This election does not affect your spouse's immigration status but does impose the same rules for reporting income upon your spouse that apply to residents and citizens.  Since your spouse has no income anywhere (no worldwide income) at least for this tax year, you would likely see a tax benefit from this decision.  It is important to note that this is a once-in-a-lifetime election. YOu can find more about this election HERE. You will file the return by mail by attaching it to the ITIN application.  In years after the ITIN is issued, you'll be able to file electronically. @shreyabudu 

It depends.  You only need to complete one of the options in Step 2 on Form W4.  You can simply check box 2c if you each have only one job and neither is self-employed and if the jobs are close in pay.      If there are more than two jobs or one of you is self-employed and/or the pay on one job is more than double the pay on the other, then do not check the box 2c but instead follow the instructions for either 2b or 2a.   Use 2a if one of you is self-employed.   

You mentioned being abandoned.  Did you live with your spouse at any time during the last six months of the year? Do you have children that you will be claiming as dependents? Depending on the answers and other circumstances, it is possible you could qualify for Head of Household and be able to claimed the Earned Income Credit.  But that is a big "maybe", depending on the details.   At any rate, you seem to be asking about how much your refund will be, and the best answer to that is to prepare your tax return and answer all of the questions.

It looks like you just posted your 16 digit license code for desktop download software.   If you used desktop software the return is stored on your own hard drive.  It is not stored online.   hhttps://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/find-last-year-tax-data-file-tax-file-computer/L0XJvPaJr_US_en_US?uid=m6gufxei   You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf  

When an e-file is rejected you receive an email with a rejection message or a rejection code.   Most rejections (not all) are for AGI.   Whatever the reason for the rejection, at this point it is too late for you to e-file a past year return.   E-filing is permanently closed for 2024 or any earlier tax year, so the only way for you to file your tax return is by mail.  Print it, sign and date it in ink, and mail it in.     When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.  

Just a few thoughts:   Are you SURE you are not a dependent of your father?   Is your tax return late, or are you in an area that had a disaster-postponement so the tax return is not late?   Showing you have been compliant with filing tax return is one of the factors for citizenship, so if your tax return was not filed on time that could be a factor.  Although extensions are an option, the original due date was April 15th.

when you open the 2025 return and select "start a new return" does the app find the prior year's tax file? if not you may have to browse to the location where it is stored. otherwise contact support.   by the way you are posting from online, using desktop for 2025 would require you to upload the 2024 tax file to your computer if you used online in 2024   5am-5pm Pacific Time (8-8 Eastern) Monday - Friday https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/contact 800-446-8848

you file form 8857 which is separate and apart from your 2025 return - innocent spouse https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8857.pdf  i have provided a link to a webpage that has more info https://www.insightlawfirm.com/blog/2025/01/do-i-qualify-for-innocent-spouse-relief/  see this IRS webpage for clarification of injured vs innocent spouse.   note that if this is a case of the balance of taxes due not being paid(rather than errors in the joint return), the IRS can pursue both parties. In this case it is not a DIY project. seek professional help.
