@cukokking    Not sure....but which payer ID are you asking about Th Federal Payer ID or the State payer ID? _____________ IF it's the State payer ID for box 16, and there was no withholding on box 17, then make boxes 15, 16, 17 entirely empty/blank and that should clear it.   It is extremely rare that people have state withholding on a 1099-INT, but some providers put a zero in box 17 that causes this kind of software problem.

I checked your last order for TurboTax Assist & Review Premier Online 2025, and I see a 40% discount applied to the original price. I have sent you the receipt. You can check the original price: https://turbotax.intuit.ca/tax/software/assist-review   Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

This guidance was really difficult to find.  It should be easy to learn on-line how to report a 1099-MISC for a time share that you released back to the Timeshare company and paid the annual maintenance fee.  But it hasn't been easy.  Many references are provided on-line to IRS Publication 527, "Residential Rental Property (Including Rental of Vacation Homes)" which says that if you rent out your house for 14 days or fewer during the year, you don't have to report the rental income on your tax return.   However, except for this Intuit post, I have not found any guidance saying that, "the IRS would treat your timeshare as a vacation home (per IRS Pub. 527) only if you personally use it for at least 15 days during the year in addition to the days it is rented.  If you don't meet both 15-day rules, the income is taxable. This means that you must own a timeshare a minimum of three weeks at a single resort, with at least 15 days used personally. This will be reported in TurboTax as Rental Income on Schedule E. Deductions allowed include annual maintenance fee, advertising, rental commission, depreciation, property taxes (if you pay them separately from the maintenance fees) and interest on your timeshare."   While that guidance makes perfect sense, can anyone cite an official IRS publication or ruling that backs it up?  

Another workaround option: In the 2025 Desktop version I went back to the screen that says, "Based on what you just told us Itemizing/Standard Deduction is right for you". It's the screen that comes up after you have entered all the info for credits and deductions. I selected the blue button that says, "Change my deduction". I selected "Standard Deduction", continued on and then saved. The Estimated message no longer displayed so I went back to the screen again and changed it back to "Itemized" and the message still did not trigger.

La declaración de impuestos puede ser rechazada por varias razones, sobre todo cuando se envía de manera electrónica. Las más comunes son:    Errores al agregar la información personal, como nombre, fecha y/o lugar de nacimiento, número de Seguro Social. Que otra persona haya reclamado, antes que tú, a un dependiente que intentaste incluir.              Errores en los ingresos agregados. Revise su correo electrónico ya que el aviso de rechazo va acompañado del motivo por el cual fue rechazada o un código de-error.   Si resibiste el código de-error, para corregir la información puedes ingresar al enlace que te comparto: Qué significa mi código de declaración rechazada y cómo lo corrijo?  

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities,  There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals.  Some states process returns quickly and some are very slow.   STATE RETURN Make sure your state return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   To track your state refund:       ttps://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0  

Since you did not itemize your deductions for your 2024 tax return, you could leave the $5 amount that was filled in by TurboTax and it would not affect your return at all.  Or, change it to $0 to indicate that you did not receive a refund.     If you are using itemized deductions on your 2025 tax return, you can also claim that $6 balance due as part of your return.  Again, that small amount of money will probably not affect your return at all, but it would be included.     Go to Deductions and Credits > Estimates and Other Taxes Paid > Other Income Taxes and click Start or Update.  Then scroll down to Other Taxes Paid in 2025 and click Start beside Balance due on your 2024 state taxes paid in 2025 to enter the $6 payment.   @juliesmash16
