This indicates that the bank account number you entered wasn't recognized by the bank. This may be because of: Improperly formatted, or  It does not exist at the receiving financial institution.    The refund was returned because the bank couldn't locate the account. This will go back to the IRS, and a paper check will be issued and mailed to the address on the tax return.  

Based on the scenario you described, there are some assumptions to consider which I will explain below.  But, if the assumptions are correct, then the TurboTax calculation is correct.   The first assumption is that the money put into the Roth account came from a conversion of money in another retirement account.  The total value of the account seemed high for it to have been deposited through regular contributions because the contribution limit per year is well under the amount in the account.  Either way, the original amount converted to the Roth IRA and/or contributed directly to the account make up the basis in the Roth IRA.   Next, assuming the basis in the Roth IRA is at least $5000 (probably more), then the $5000 distribution from the Roth IRA would not be taxable.  That means that the $5000 amount should not be included on line 4b of Form 1040.   Then, if $30,000 was 'contributed' back to the Roth IRA, it must have been done through a conversion of money in another retirement account since it is to high to be considered just a contribution to the Roth IRA.  The amount distributed from the other retirement account and converted to the Roth IRA would be taxable and shown on line 4b of Form 1040.   It appears that the Roth IRA basis may not have been taken into account by the other tax company and therefore the $5000 distribution from the Roth IRA was shown as taxable.

@Sandy4344    First step is to check what is actually entered on yore 1099-INT and 1099-DIV forms  (and maybe a 1099-OID).  (not sure if it's used on K-1 forms.....I've never dealt with those, but it you didn't enter a K-1, it won't be an issue)   1)  Edit every 1099-INT and check/add up all box 3 values. 2)  Edit every 1099-DIV and check to see what sub-amount of the box 1a value, that you designated as coming from US Govt obligations.  Those would have been entered by you on a follow-up page after the main 1099-DIV form. 3)  Might be something in a 1099-OID if you entered that form. ____________ Those should be added together.  And should either match what transferred to your State form...or might be somewhat lower from other entries on a 1099-INT that can affect the amount.  

No, you are not required to use the mileage method for a rental car just because you use it for your personal vehicle.    The IRS allows you to choose the deduction method independently for each vehicle you use, for business purposes.    For short-term car rentals, you generally must use the actual expense method because the standard mileage rate is reserved for vehicles you own or lease long-term. This means you should deduct the specific costs of the rental fee, gas, and tolls rather than tracking miles. You can continue using the standard mileage rate for your personal car while simultaneously deducting actual expenses for your rentals. 

There are no known or reported issues related to Qualified Overtime Wages being removed due to recent updates.   The entry may have been unintentionally cleared during a review step or when making other changes to your return.    I recommend going back to the section and re-entering the information, then carefully review the summary to confirm it is reflected correctly.

This did not answer the question at all.  You just pasted in the standard text about how long to get a REFUND after it's been accepted.  I asked how long does it take for your return to be ACCEPTED usually.

Since you are filing married filing joint, you do not need to split the amounts in your form 1095-A.

This is to protect your account. It means you'll be locked out of the account for 24 hours.   This could be because: There were too many failed login attempts,  You may have had incorrect security answers,  You may have reached the limit for electronic filings with the same information.  Or, you have exceeded the 5 return maximum limit on Desktop.  

How do I report the disability payments in my federal return if my employer did not include the amount in my w-2 and the insurance company did not give me a w-2? Is there a place to manually enter it (with an explanation of benefits including how much was taken out for taxes) or do I need a different document? Thanks!

Since you are a dependent on someone else's return, you do not need to enter your Form 1095-A, the person claiming you will have to enter it.  Verify that the form has actually been deleted.     Here are the steps to delete your Form 1095-A:   Open your return. Go to Tax Home Select Tax Tools in the left menu Click on Tools A pop-up will come out called Tool Center Select Delete a form Select Delete next to the Form 1095-A if it is still showing up How do I delete a tax return that was created in TurboTax Desktop for Windows? How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online? If you deleted your form and still have the error: Go out of your program and go back in. Clear your cache and cookies. Try a different Web Browser. If you are using TurboTax Desktop make sure all updates have been run on your program. You can do this by clicking on "Online" in the black bar across the top of your TurboTax screen.
