After running Smart Check

sailcoulter — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 22:40:00 GMT

After running Smart Check on my return, I get to the "Let's review these entries" screen. It says "We found 1 area on your federal return where we'll need to review your entries. We'll handle them one at a time. However, when I click "Continue", it does not take me to any entries. It just shows me a screen that says "Your federal return has changed, you now have a refund." I hit "Continue", but if I run Smart Check again, it's goes through the same screens. I can't tell if there is an actual issue, or if it's just alerting me that I have a refund. I have re-saved the return multiple times and have shut down and restarted TurboTax, but keep getting the same result. How can I determine if this is a real issue?

If you are unable to move forward in your TurboTax program you can try the steps listed below.

Go out of your program, close your browser and go back in.
Clear your cache and cookies. Click here for How to clear your cache. Click here for How do I delete cookies?
Try a different Web browser, such as Chrome or Firefox.
If you are using a VPN, disable it.
If you are using a TurboTax Desktop program click the "Forms" icon in the top right. Scan the left-side form list for red exclamation marks indicating errors.
Instead of just running the check, go to the Review tab and click on "Errors" in the top menu to see if it lists specific missing entries.
Make sure your internet connection is strong and stable
Try using incognito mode
Try running TurboTax as Administrator
If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can manually check for updates for your TurboTax program by clicking on "Online" in the black bar near the top of your screen and selecting "Check for Updates."
If the error persists but you cannot find ny errors, it is likely ok to go forward and file.
