The refund date from TurboTax is only an estimated based on the IRS average of 21 days to issue a tax refund after receiving the tax return.   Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.   After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted? Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".   After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.   Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.   To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product. If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds If accepted by the state 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_...   After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

The IRS amended my efile to remove the energy credit because their computer didn’t recognize the QMID. It’s a known bug at the IRS and their website gives the workaround pasted below. I want to amend my return to include a pdf as they requested. Can I do that with TurboTax efile, or will I have to print it out and mail it? Many thanks!   From IRS website…   Taxpayers filing Form 5695 for Tax Year 2025, with a QMID containing letters I and/or O, should leave those QMID fields blank on the Form 5695 and attach to the return a binary attachment or [GeneralDependencySmall] with the description beginning with "Substantiate QMID". Provide the following in the statement: 1.) QMID provided by the qualified manufacturer. 2.) Cost associated. 3.) The line reference and small description for each item of specified property placed into service in 2025. This will allow for the IRS to accept such returns electronically.  Please be aware that this may result in delays in processing the return, which can delay the refund.

A valid QMID is letter - number - letter - number. This is an IRS rule, not a TurboTax rule. Make sure you are not mistaking a capital letter I for a number one, letter S for number 5, or some similar confusion. If the QMID that you have definitely starts with a number, then what you need to do is contact the manufacturer to get the correct QMID. It cannot start with a number.

Toujours le même problème après la mise à jour du 16 avril. Voici la source du bug. Dans le TP80, si j'enlève manuellement (en effectuant un F2) la catégorie 10.1,  tout s'imprime correctement. Le TPF-1.u s'imprime et la déclaration provinciale aussi. Évidemment je n'ai pas essayé de transmettre à Revenu Québec en ayant retiré la catégorie 10.1, car je perdrais ma dépense en amortissement. La voila la source de votre problème.  J'attend que la situation soit corrigé pour transmettre. Merci.

@2tennpalmers wrote:   occupy it for two weeks (so it's a "home,"   and you return the third week to the timeshare company for compensation and they send you a 1099 MISC, how do you report the 1099 MISC to the IRS and claim that no income taxes are due because you rented your "home" for less than 14 days?   You would need to occupy it for "more" than 14 days.  If you only occupied for 14 days, it is not a "residence" and therefore the rental income is taxable.   If you occupied for 15 or more days, you technically should just not report it.  But there will be an IRS notice coming that you would need to respond to.   Some people try to avoid the IRS notice by reporting the amount of the 1099-MISC, then reporting an equal amount as an expense (resulting in $0 gain/loss).  However, if you are entering accurate rental days and personal days, I don't think TurboTax will let you do that.
New Jersey is always slow sending acceptances. It's not unusual for it to take a couple of days. And with a flood of last-minute filings they surely have a bigger than normal backlog now.

I purchased TT Home and business download from Costco in February. Includes 12 returns. I used the software in late March to fill out 3 returns for my family. I did not attempt to print or file the returns until this week as I wait for late tax slips. When I tried to file the returns the software said I no returns available and would I like to purchase more, of course not. Phoned customer support had a 20 minute chat with someone who clearly knew very little case #[phone number removed]0, and this call was mysteriously cut off. Phoned again case # [phone number removed]5 had a very good rep who spent over an hour on my case. Enabled screen sharing, agreed that my software licence was not showing no files used and none available (should be 12 available) . She had me uninstall the software, reinstall it from a download, same result, non available. After consulting supervisor she said she would send 2 links, one for me to purchase a replacement version with a new licence code and one to get a refund for my defective version. I purchased the new, and it worked. I submitted the refund  case # [phone number removed] including the Costco receipt, which Turbo Tax has denied citing software more than 60 days old. Could not know my licence code was defective until I went to file. Turbo Tax sold me software with a defective licence code and refuses to refund for a product THAT DOES NOT WORK. I called customer service again re the refund and after 20 minutes most of it on hold was denied again. Would not connect me to a supervisor. TurboTax I have paid $300 to buy your product twice this year. You sold me a defective product. You are not standing behind it. I am a 10+ year TurboTax customer and have had Quicken for over 20 years. Where is your decency? Have you no respect ? I am at wits end trying to resolve this.
To go back to a lower version or the Free Edition you can try to clear and start over https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-clear-and-start-over-in-turbotax-online/00/26444 ... See more...
To go back to a lower version or the Free Edition you can try to clear and start over https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-clear-and-start-over-in-turbotax-online/00/26444 To Downgrade to Free If you started your tax return in TurboTax Free Edition (Form 1040 with limited credits; roughly 37% of taxpayers qualify), you won't need to clear and start over. You can select Switch to Free Edition instead. In the Turbo Tax Free Edition, information that you can enter is limited now.  Why do I have to upgrade from the Free Edition? https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/upgrading/help/why-do-i-have-to-upgrade-from-free-edition/00/26379 Or try the IRS Free File program https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free A couple reasons it could be saying you need to upgrade…. You might be seeing this because of form 8959, that goes to Schedule 2. The amount of Medicare taxes withheld in W2 box 6 is not exactly 1.45% of the Medicare wages in box 5, due to rounding. I read a post that said to try leaving the cents off of the Medicare tax on your W2 box 6. Box 6 has to be exactly 1.45% of box 5 or less. If it is saying you need Schedule 3 and can't use the Free Edition it might be giving you the Retirement Savings Credit. You can say you are a student to decline the credit. You must answer Yes when asked in the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit section if your were a full-time student. The answer to this same question asked in the personal-information section is not the answer that is used.
Sorry to hear this! I hope you get better soon. You can send us a screenshot once you feel better. We wish you a speedy recovery.
