No, do not refile your tax return if you have not received your check. 

 

There are significant delays in processing returns at this time, but refiling your tax return if it has already been processed will not speed up processing. 

 

You can check on the status of your refund here: Where's My Refund?   If your check has been mailed, and it has been more than 6 weeks since it was sent you can begin the process of a refund trace by calling 800-829-1954.

You can edit your grandson's last name by visiting the My Info section of TurboTax and clicking Edit next to his name.

If you haven't mailed it yet. Click on Add a State to let you back into your return.  Why are you mailing it?  Did you try to efile?   We can help you switch to efiling.

I did efile but it says it wants my earned income from 2018. I had it amended so its all zero and it wont take it.

You enter the 2018 AGI from the original 2018 federal tax return that was filed, not the 2018 AGI from the amended tax return.

 

The 2018 AGI is on the 2018 Federal tax return you filed Form 1040 Line 7

To access your current or prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on View adjusted gross income (AGI)

 

Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

 

If your tax return continues to be rejected with the 2018 AGI then enter a 0 (zero) for the AGI and e-file again.

If this is also rejected then you will have to print and mail the tax return.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for printing a tax return for mailing - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online...
