@Stephanielynn   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.   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.   TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS. You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount   (line 34of your 2020 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:     https://www.irs.gov/refunds ...

The Qualified Business Income Deduction can be generated from one of two components.  The QBI component can result from a sole proprietorship, partnership, S corporation, trust or estate.  The first component would likely be reported on Schedule C, Schedule E, Schedule F or a K-1.  The REIT / PTP component can be generated from qualified real estate investment trust (REIT) dividends or qualified publically traded partnership (PTP) income.  The second component could be reported on 1099-DIV or a K-1. The IRS intends for the REIT / PTP component to be reported on IRS Form 8995.   This IRS Publication states:   REIT/PTP Component.   This component of the deduction equals 20% of the combined qualified REIT dividends (including REIT dividends earned through a regulated investment company (RIC)) and qualified PTP income/(loss). This component is not limited by W-2 wages or the UBIA of qualified property. Depending on the taxpayer's income, the amount of PTP income that qualifies may be limited depending on the type of business engaged in by the PTP. ... View more

You can qualify for Head of Household if you: Were unmarried as of December 31, 2020 and Paid more than half the cost to run your (or a qualifying parent's) home this year (rent, mortgage, utilities, etc.) and Supported a qualifying person. If you were still legally married as of December 31, 2020 and a child lives with you, you can qualify for Head of Household under a slightly different set of rules.    Even if you were legally married as of December 31, you are considered unmarried (and therefore eligible for Head of Household) if all 5 of these conditions apply: You won't be filing jointly with your spouse Your spouse didn't live in your home after June (temporary absences due to illness, school, vacation, business, or military service don't count) Your home was your child's, stepchild's, or foster child's main home for more than half the year (non-child dependents in your home don't qualify) You paid more than half the costs of keeping up your home during the tax year You meet the qualifications to claim the child as your dependent, even if the other (noncustodial) parent is actually claiming the child as a dependent on their return You can also be considered unmarried for Head of Household if your spouse was a nonresident alien at any time during the tax year and you're not treating them as a resident alien.   After you answer all the questions about yourself and your dependents at the beginning of your return, we'll let you know if your situation qualifies for Head of Household.   You can also revisit these questions by selecting  My Info (online) or  Personal Info (software), and then select Edit next to your name or your dependent's. ...

Just wanted to thank the previous poster who suggested switching my name to be the primary instead of my spouse.  It worked!  And I had tried every other possible suggestion mentioned in this thread.  Sigh...yet another hoop I've had to jump through after losing my husband last March. ... View more
