I accidentally hit "file my return"... I need to remove the W-2 and file (not amend) electronically as per New York State law.

So, here is the story... I have been trying to file for months now... I accidentally went all the way, and TurboTax won't allow me to file electronically with a W-2 that lacks a value in Box 1... I contacted the IRS, and they stated that I don't need to record the extra W-2, but unfortunately, I seem to have locked myself out of filing completely, as NYS law requires that all software based tax prepared tax forms be sent electronically... Thus, I need to simply go into TurboTax, remove the W-2, and file the first time electronically before Tax Day...

Did you actually e-file your federal?

[ikdb1313]

And by the way, I have not yet printed my original returns and sent them, as NYS will not accept a paper return... It is only my third time filing taxes, and I really just want to fix it and send it immediately...

I am going to give you instructions on how to amend so you can 'unlock' your return.

[ikdb1313]

In past years, yes... This year, I got stuck with a W-2 that I thought had to be reported... As I stated, I contacted the IRS about it, and it turns out to be a valid, but unnecessary W-2... I have not printed my returns, nor sent them in any form for this year...

[ikdb1313]

TurboTax insists I must file on paper, but I know after contacting the IRS that this is not the case, and my only option (according to TurboTax) is to file a 1040X...

[ikdb1313]

So, no, haven't filed at all!

[ikdb1313]

Okay...

If you hit File my Return then it probably got sent by efile.  You better double check if it went though,

Would it allow me to efile normally (i.e. standard 1040)?

[DawnC0]

You can mail your NY return - see below.   When you sign in, do you see 'Take me to my return'?

[ikdb1313]

And, to answer VolvoGirl's question, uh... No, the IRS hasn't received anything either...

I just want to finally finish filing my taxes the first time!

When you sign in - What do you see?  Do you see 'Take me to my return'?
