    If your current year, 2019, taxes are being rejected, you should receive an email with a brief explanation of your reject and how to update it. The link provided below can assist you with your rejection, how to fix it, and how to re-file your return once done:

    I am unable to find the $1300 credit I should have gotten on my qualified dividends which I paid to Canada. Why does it not appear on page 1 of my 1040 as a credit?

    I just read through all 5 pages of this discussion and no one has the problem I have.  When I try to transfer my 2018 tax return Turbo Tax can't locate it.  When I go back to Turbo Tax 2018 and try to open my 2018 return which is on my computer I get  this message: 

    The document "my name 18.tax2018" has the wrong tax year or some other issue that prevents us from opening it.  Please make sure you have the right file and try again.

     

    I know I have the right file.  I don't know how to fix the tax year.  This is stored on my computer, a MacBook Pro.

     You're not seeing your issue in this thread because this has become an unmanageable cluttered old thread with multiple users posting a salad of miscellaneous topics.   For the best visibility and assistance, and to avoid confusion, people should almost always start their own new thread, especially when it's a different topic.   Since you've already posted here, I'll see if  I can get a Mac helper to assist you here, but they may or may not be around tonight.

     

    BTW, is your 2018 tax data file that you are trying to open in your 2018 Mac software password-protected?

     

    @ macuser_22 
    Are you able to assist here when you are next in the forum?   User is having trouble transferring 2018 into 2019.   And an attempt to open the 2018 data file with the 2018 program produces the error user described in his/her comment above.   Thanks!

    You have posted in a jumbled and cluttered old multi-user thread that has many different topics and issues and has become a random question dump.  You are less likely to get assistance in a tired old thread of multiple topics.  It's nearly always best to start your own new thread where helpers are more like to see it.  

     

    You can go to the page below and click the blue "Ask a Question" button.   When the question form appears, summarize your question in the title line (space is limited.)  Below the question title line you will see a box to enter details where you will have plenty of room to explain your situation.

      If your 2018 was prepared online last year, and if you can't find your 2018 return in that account when you look in the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents,"  then you likely have multiple accounts and signed into the wrong one.   Many people end up with multiple accounts without realizing it.   Here's how to troubleshoot for multiple accounts (User IDs) :

     

    You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same email address for notification purposes.  A User ID may be an email address, but it doesn't have to be.  It might be only part of an email address, or it can be anything at all.

     

    To get a list of your User IDs and recover account access, you can use the tool at the link below.  Try using your phone number first.   After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access.

    NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below.  You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session.

    https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery

    If still no luck after running that on your phone number and email address(es) that you can access,  here's another method:

    Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, and choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by SSN and other parameters.

    If you used TurboTax last year, you can access your return by logging in using the same TurboTax account that you used to file your 2018 return. Please follow the steps provided below.

    1. Go to Tax Home in the left menu.

    2. Under Your tax returns & documents, go to Download/print return (PDF) (select Show if not visible).

    You can also get your AGI by ordering a free transcript of your 2018 return or purchasing a full copy from the IRS. Please see below for more information.

    You must sign into your online account using the exact same user ID that you used to create the online account.   

    If you cannot log into TurboTax at the Sign In screen, go down to I forgot my TurboTax User ID or password.

     

    You can also try to find your TurboTax account with this link.  It will take you to Account Recovery, where you can get help signing into your account.

     

    You can also go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank.  Then choose the small blue link that says Try something else, and it will look you up by SSN and other parameters.

    As Hal_Al has stated, Warren city tax returns cannot be prepared in TurboTax.

    Here's the link that Hal_Al has provided.
