TurboTax cannot help.   TurboTax is just the company that provided software for you to use when you prepared your tax return.  TT gets no information from the IRS or your state after you file your tax return.  TurboTax cannot intercede with the IRS or state to speed up your refund for you.  And....did you really mean $8 ?  Eight dollars?

If you owe tax due, you have to pay it yourself by the filing deadline on April 15, 2025.      If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.    https://www.irs.gov/payments     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-payments/help/how-can-i-pay-my-federal-taxes/00/26212     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-payments/help/how-do-i-pay-my-irs-tax-due-with-a-check-or-money-order/00/26403      To apply for a payment plan with the IRS   Apply Online for a Payment Plan     You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment.  For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0   WHAT IF I CANNOT PAY MY TAX DUE? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-payments/pay-taxes/L8aQBCpPO_US_en_US?uid=m9iryksw  

The used vehicle credit is not specifically disallowed for married filing separately. https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/used-clean-vehicle-credit   However, you should very carefully estimate your taxes both ways before you file.  There are other significant deductions and credits that are reduced or disallowed under the married filing separately status, and you need to do the math to make sure those costs don't offset the benefits.  Also, remember the most significant issue with MFS--if one spouse itemizes their deductions, both spouses must itemize, even if there are not enough itemized deductions to go around.  It is not allowed to load all the itemized deductions onto one spouse so the other takes the standard. 

You can't claim income tax payments on your return unless they were instalment payments.   To enter your tax instalment payments for the year in TurboTax Online, search for “instal” on the Tax Home page (2024 tax return on the left), and select “Tax Instalment Payments”.   To enter your tax instalment payments for the year in TurboTax Desktop in EasyStep Mode, click on the Find icon, & search for “instal”. Then select “Instalments” and click “Go”.    To enter your tax instalment payments for the year in TurboTax Desktop in Forms Mode, go to Line 47600 near the bottom of the T1 General.

Sometimes there's a delay on the state sites, but if it's showing accepted on your TurboTax home page, then it was in fact submitted and accepted by the state.  You can also contact Support to confirm the that your return was submitted, because your identification must first be verified before that information can be shared.    What's the TurboTax phone number?

Yes. Generally, self-employment income is reported on a cash basis. This means that income is recognized when it's actually received, not when it's earned. For income received in April and May, the estimated payment is typically due in June.

When the IRS sends you a letter that requests information from you or requests a copy of a tax document like a W-2, the best way to react is to follow the instructions given to you in the letter.  If you do not have a copy of your W-2, ask your employer for another copy.  TurboTax does not have a copy of your W-2.

If you are preparing your returns together with a spouse, then both returns are in the same file, so both will be using the same version of TurboTax. So, for example, even if only one of you is self-employed, you'll both be using the self-employed version, and will both be charged the same.    If you don't want to use the same version as your spouse, you can prepare your returns separately.
