Is my Turbo Tax filing complete or am I missing steps?

Thanks for the suggestions! I tried refreshing and it did save my info, thankfully, but I'm still stuck at the same spot. I'm using Chrome - do you think Firefox would be better? I don't see any incomplete sections or warnings, which is what's confusing me. The progress bar shows 100% complete.

Firefox is sometimes more reliable with TurboTax in my experience. If you're showing 100% complete, another option is to try accessing TurboTax from a different device entirely. Sometimes it's just a display issue with certain screen resolutions. If you've verified all information is complete and still can't proceed, you might want to contact TurboTax support directly. They have a chat feature that's pretty responsive, even during busy season. They can check if there's a system issue or if something specific in your return is causing the hangup.

Does this actually work with TurboTax files? I'm having a similar issue but with the healthcare section - it keeps saying something's incomplete but doesn't tell me what.

I'm skeptical about third-party tax tools. How does it actually access your TurboTax info without compromising security? Tax data is super sensitive.

Yes, it works with TurboTax and most other major tax software. You just upload your tax documents (W-2s, 1099s, etc.) and it reviews them against what you've entered. For healthcare issues specifically, it can check if your 1095-A or other health insurance forms are entered correctly, which is a common sticking point. Regarding security, I had the same concern initially. The site uses bank-level encryption and doesn't store your documents after analysis. You can also block out sensitive information like your SSN before uploading if you're worried. It just needs to see the tax-relevant numbers and codes to help identify issues.

How does this actually work? Do they just sit on hold for you or what? Seems like the same thing as hanging up and waiting for a callback from the IRS.

Yeah right, like this actually works. The IRS is deliberately understaffed to make it hard to get help. No service is going to magically get you through when millions of people are calling during tax season.

It's not like the IRS callback system at all. The IRS rarely offers callbacks, and when they do, it's often days later. Claimyr connects to the IRS phone system and navigates the menu options automatically, then waits on hold so you don't have to. When a human IRS agent actually picks up, you get an immediate call connecting you to that live agent. No more waiting for hours with your phone on speaker. Regarding skepticism, I thought the same thing initially! The service works because they have technology to manage thousands of calls simultaneously, unlike an individual who can only make one call at a time. They're essentially pooling the hold time across many users. It's not about "cutting the line" - you still wait your fair turn, but you're not personally stuck listening to the hold music.

Thanks for mentioning this! I double-checked and you're right - I completely missed the state portion. I thought I was done after the federal part. Now I see the state section that needs completing. Explains why it seemed stuck!

Glad I could help! TurboTax doesn't make the state part super obvious sometimes. Just a heads up - you might need to pay extra for the state filing unless you qualified for free filing. They're sneaky about adding that charge at the end. Also, double-check your payment method before submitting. Last year my card was declined because TurboTax tried to charge it multiple times while I was experiencing that loading issue, and my bank flagged it as suspicious activity.

I'm a gig worker and noticed TurboTax sometimes misses self-employment deductions. Double check if you entered all your business expenses like mileage, home office, etc. That can significantly impact your SE tax calculation. Also make sure any 1099-Ks or 1099-NECs are entered correctly.
