Me as well. They said I was supposed to get my refund on March 20th, and now it is April 10th and I have neither my state or federal refund.

@ dtx_wuero-p  Sorry to take 3 comments to answer your question.  I keep thinking of things.  🙂   If you can't or don't want to use the options above, if it turns out you are unable to efile by the April 15 deadline, you can either apply for an extension before that due date, or you can file by printing, signing, dating, and postal mailing your return.   It has to be postmarked by April 15, and if you go that route, it's recommended to mail by a method that has tracking.    It can take several weeks to process a mailed paper return.   An extension request (due by April 15) extends the time for filing the return.  However, it does NOT extend the payment due date.  If you have any taxes owed (tax due), then you still have to pay it by the April 15 deadline.
I also have used the program for years.  I believe I'll find a different program to use or pay someone in person!! I am so disappointed in this year's program.    
How do I obtain the Senior Standard Deduction?
Once I file as I have done in the past, I can print all forms. Can I do this before filing

thank you so much for the advice!  I actually found an option there to downgrade, so I didn't have to reenter all my information!

If you got a W-2 it's most likely that your employer contributed to an HSA for you. Look for box 12 code W. That's the HSA contribution. Your employer can contribute, and you not, but it's treated as if you contributed.  If it's not on your W-2 and since you didn't contribute directly, it's possible someone misfiled something using your SSN. Rad the notice and proceed as directed if you disagree.

Hello, I have a kid (less than 24 years old). I opened him a Fidelity UTMA account, and he has ~$500 interest+dividend gain in 2025. Here are my questions: 1. Since it's less than $1350, I don't need to claim his tax, right? No form 8615 nor form 1040. (In turbotax -Child's income -Child Required to File? - Choose No, then ended) 2. Should I report anything, or show my kid's earning anywhere in my 2025 tax filing? 3. I'm planning to extend my tax filing this year. I don't need to worry anything about my kid's tax, right? Thanks
Federal e-file accepted today, how to amend and refile it
Real Estate tax paid was $5,760. Received $9,000 from daughter. cleared $3,240. Is this reported elsewhere?
As long as you have not mailed them you sure can. go to file tab and select e-file. 
@ dtx_wuero-p    I added some info to my answer above which might come into play, depending on your age. If this is your first time to efile, are you at least 16 years old?
It had automatically selected mail when I wanted to e-file. I need it changed if possible.
@ dtx_wuero-p    What is your age?  As a first-time efiler, are you at least 16 years old?  You have to be over age 16 in order to efile if you haven't filed before.  If you are under 16, you cannot ... See more...
@ dtx_wuero-p    What is your age?  As a first-time efiler, are you at least 16 years old?  You have to be over age 16 in order to efile if you haven't filed before.  If you are under 16, you cannot efile as a first-time filer.   Did anyone file a 2024 return in your name such as a parent?  If so, then you would have a 2024 AGI.   I don't know your age, but if you are old enough to get an online IRS account, if you want to, you can get a 6-digit IP PIN (Identity Protection PIN), which will let you verify your return without needing AGI.   The IP PIN is a more powerful verifier and supersedes the need for a 2024 AGI.   You would need to establish an IRS online account if you don't already have one in order to get the IP PIN by that method.   Whether or not you can open such an IRS account will depend on your age.  You have to be age 18 or older.
