UPDATE: Saturday 02/07/2025: TurboTax HAS BEEN UPDATED for Arkansas returns. Just filed mine electronically.    One thing, it will take you back to those entries and you will have to right click on each one and UNDO the Override. But don't worry it leaves the correct entries that I entered.    I was able to e-file and I'm done. Hope this helps others. Go check now this Saturday morning.

No, you should enter your wife’s name as it appears ‌on her Social Security Card to file your tax return. The IRS uses ‌Social Security Administration's records to determine the identity of taxpayers.    If you try to change your name, the IRS will reject your tax return. Once you fix the error with USCIS and get her a new Social Security Card, you can enter her birth name, but for now use her name as it's on the card.

Absolutely agree.  After paying for the software I found out it is on line only and you cannot access individual forms for review and editing.  This absolutely sucks and reeks of bait and switch IMO.  Windows 10 is still very current, it worked fine for last year and you have no excuse for not supply a windows 10 option this year.  

I recommend entering in all of your deductions even though you have already reduced your liability to zero.   There are a few reasons why.  First, if the IRS ever questions any of your deductions and lowers them, having the additional unused deductions already on record can help keep your tax liability at zero. Second, your state might have different rules or lower limits, so including everything may benefit you on your state return, if your state allows itemized deductions. Finally, some things like charitable donations or investment losses can be carried forward to future years.

You have not mentioned whether you are getting earned income credit or the additional child tax credit as part of your refund.   If you have amounts on lines 27 or 28 of your Form 1040, the IRS has to hold your refund longer.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/federal-refunds-delayed-due-path-act/L5jnQJsBi_US_en_US  

I agree all the time wasted trying to get answers, and getting no solid response is a true indicator of Intuit’s appreciation of its customers.  Will they put there money where their mouth is and give us test users and quality control users a break on the cost? We are doing their work for them. Do they appreciate us enough to do more than an empty apology? 

Whatever then. Just wont use it again. Why would I pay for a service where the reps give conflicting information, and then have a section where I can "track my return" that is incorrect and is meaningless. You got it "champ"

Thank you for sharing your experience with the What-If Worksheet.  We will submit this information to the development team for further investigation.  The first step in doing so is to provide them with a diagnostic tax file.  It would be helpful to have a diagnostic file from a user experiencing the issue.     The diagnostic file will not contain personally identifiable information, only numbers related to your tax forms.     If you would like to provide us with the diagnostic file, follow the instructions below and post the token number in a follow-up thread.     For a Mac desktop version of TurboTax, use these steps:   Select Help at the top of the screen. Select Send Tax File to Agent. Post the token number here.   @FlyingCat   

The IRS Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/19/2026   If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk
