You report the sale of a second home in the same section in which you report stock and other investment sales.  To enter:   Go to Income Select Investments and savings  The screens you will see depend on whether you have already entered some investments Click on "Add Investments" For "How do you want to add your docs?" click on "Type it in myself" On the screen with "OK, let's start with one investment type" click on the box with "Other" (land, second home, personal items).

>>>TurboTax is designed with a strict one-to-one relationship between a 1099-DIV entry and a foreign country on Form 1116   Which is an incorrect design, and Intuit has known about it for years.   It will take longer to generate fictitious (fabricated)  1099 forms and then go back and generate 1116 forms than it would have taken me to do this section correctly on PAPER!   I guess you are too busy breaking things that used to work to fix the things that are broken.

If you're in TurboTax Online:   Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu. Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website. Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms. Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit." Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.   @reyac-8301

Yes.  If you are filing a joint return, then you will need to add all of your income to the same return.  So you will click add a w-2 and add her W-2.  Also if she has any other income sources they will need to be added as well. 

Yes.   When you file a joint return all of your combined income goes on one tax return.     When you are entering income on a joint return, every income entry screen will either have a spot with both spouse’s names there, or when you click to enter a W-2, 1099R, etc. it will ask you by name which spouse it is for.  You do not have to wait for the software to “ask” you for your spouse’s income. Go to the screens to enter your spouse’s W-2’s, 1099’s, etc. just like you did for your own income.  Then look for your spouse’s name there.  

For electronic payments (ACH) from your savings account, you should generally use the specific MICR number found in your account details or on your checks.

The $40 "refund processing fee" is the fee you have if you choose to pay your TurboTax fees from your federal refund instead of paying upfront using a credit or debit card before you e-file.   If you choose "refund processing" your refund goes first from the IRS to a third party bank.  That bank takes out the fees to pay TurboTax, keeps $40 for itself and deposits the rest of the refund in your account.  You can avoid that fee by paying upfront before you e-file. What is Refund Processing Service?     How can I see my TurboTax  fees?      https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/review-fees-turbotax-online/L1XnIzgzg_US_en_US?uid=m682vq7k     REMOVE REFUND PROCESSING FEE   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/remove-pay-refund-fees-turbotax-online-change/L7UxC6ZZp_US_en_US?uid=m6r4xelq

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator—it's simply the technical term for a web address (like google.com).  TurboTax is asking for your account provider sign-in URL; it wants the specific website address you use to log into your bank, brokerage, or payroll provider (like ADP or Fidelity).
