With a breaker bar it should be fairly easy to turn but keep in mind there is compression build up so turning a quarter of a time to let compression leak down then proceed again

My car was sitting in the parking lot for about a year the engine did turn but at first it was hard then it got smother as we kept turning it , was it harder turning it cause it was sitting there for so long or cause is seized?

It should be seized just from sitting and engine will have compression so it will be a little harder than normal.

If an engine seized do to not having oil than adding oil to the cylinders will do nothing. The engine seized at the rod and or crank journals not in the cylinders.

My car recently did stopped working. First car was working started it up fine. I left the car on not running while changing fuses and when I went back to start it it would start but radio and everything worked. Took allday to get a jump and by then the car was completely dead no power at all. Do you think it’s the battery or the engine?

I seriously doubt you got a catastrophic engine failure by replacing a few fuses while the ignition was on but engine off. You most likely put one of the fuses in the wrong place, or bricked a computer because you took out a fuse while ignition was on.

My 2013 hyundai tucson engine is definitely seized. I was kinda torn between repairing it or seeing about a new vehicle. Im confused though if the engine seized due to burning oil wouldnt the oil issue still be need to addressed with a new engine. This is all new to me im just looking for advice suggestions

Yes it would if they installed new old stock engines with the same manufacturing problems. Best is to rebuild the one you have with aftermarket crankshaft and will be reliable for many years to come.
