You must have misunderstood something.  Taxes owed can NEVER be paid from a tax refund.  You selected to pay the state taxes owed from your bank account by providing the bank routing and account numbers. If the IRS does not adjust your tax return you will receive the federal tax refund of $5,012   The status of your federal tax refund is available on this IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

No, this statement is not accurate! The IRS indeed will take your state refund to pay any debt you owe on federal! This happened to me. Please make sure the information you are giving people are accurate! 

The $3,000 figure suggests that these are capital losses.   If you used TurboTax last year, your capital loss carryover is automatically imported. Otherwise, you can follow these steps to enter the carryover losses. Under Federal Income & Expenses Investment Income  Capital Loss Carryover.    This will apply the loss to current gains and up to $3,000 against income.

for 2026 taxes, under Other Tax Situations / Estimates And Other Taxes Paid / Other Income Taxes there will be a section for "2025 Refund Applied to 2026" which I assume will be pre-filled with the 2025 carryover and you should be able to amend it there.  Also in Forms mode you should see it on the Tax Payments Worksheet.   (at least this is for the Premier version I assume H&B has similar sections).

If you have mortgage interest and paid property taxes, it can be posted to Your Home   Your home will be included in your Itemized deductions.

@goransonlexi do you have contributions to your HSA listed on Box 12 / Code W of your W-2?    if yes....there was a question later in the HSA section asking if you contributed money directly to your HSA.  DO NOT include the dollars already indicated on your W-2 in your response.   Is that the problem? (it's a common error).    

If you mean you have to amend the return, here are the steps. Login to TurboTax Select Tax Home from the left sidebar. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and  Select the year you want to amend. Click on the Amend (change) return dropdown,  Then Amend using TurboTax Online.   Continue the interview, make the changes you need, and answer the rest of the questions to finish changing your return.  An amended return can make a change to a tax filing that has already been accepted.  You should follow these guidelines.  You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.  You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.  Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.   The refund calculator will start ‌at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due  Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.  You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment   Amend TurboTax

@Rosefelix  Is the amount sent/issued by the IRS the same as the refund amount shown on your federal tax return Form 1040 Line 35a? - https://www.irs.gov/refunds If not, then go to this IRS website for information on reduced refunds - https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc203 Are you also receiving a state tax refund? If so, the state refund is sent directly to you based on how you chose to receive the state tax refund, it does not go through the third party processor. Use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=m7ulm2n7 Have you factored in the TurboTax account fees and the TPG service charge of $40 plus any applicable sales tax? Review your TurboTax account fees - Sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/ Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on View Order Details   If you requested to have the TurboTax account fees deducted from your federal tax refund, the IRS will send the refund to a third party processor to have the fees and the $40 service charge deducted. The third party processor will deduct the TurboTax fees plus the $40 service charge and then attempt to direct deposit the remaining refund balance into the account that you entered on your tax return. For the status of your tax refund you will need to contact the third party processor, Santa Barbara Tax Product Group, using their website - https://www.sbtpg.com/ Tax Products Group Contact Information - https://help.sbtpg.com/hc/en-us/articles/230084587-Contact-Information Call 1-877-908-7228 Or email - TPG-CSsupport@greendotcorp.com

Yes 2024 8606 looks wrong, seems the conversion was missing (line 13 in your screenshot shows $0 not $7004) it just shows a contribution.  I think your understanding of what it should look like is correct, similar to 2023.  you'll need to file an amended return for that, it may affect your 1040 as well as 8606 if the 1099-R was not reported.   Note on your 2023 Form 8606 you see the asterisks this indicates the calculation is happening on a separate IRA worksheet which should be in your PDF with all forms and worksheets (or in Forms mode if using desktop).   For 2025 you'll need to make sure you have the right basis carryover from your revised 2024 8606 Line 14 to 2025 8606 Line 2.  After you enter the contribution or 1099-R you will be asked to confirm the basis tracked for 2024 or before and can adjust it there.   If you still have a residual balance/basis I would suggest converting the entire balance and clear it out to $0 this year and going forward.  I assume you're picking up some interest inbetween settlement of the contribution and conversion which can happen at brokers like Vanguard etc.   see this thread on suggestions how to file - technically you could wait and do it in sequence but as suggested by @dmertz you probably don't need to wait to amend 2024 to file 2025 - as long as you are certain of the basis carryover for 2025 so you don't have to amend 2025 later. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/what-s-the-best-sequence-timing/00/3871012
