fixed e-file reject FW2-502, but how to refile?

I got my federal taxes rejected due to FW2-502 (wrong EIN entered). Instructions simply stated to go back and fix the W-2, which did now. However as I try to go through e-filing again, they want me to add my credit card info again (I owe). Do I have to enter that again? My credit card already shows hold. I am really worried they'd charge me twice for the amount I owe. Help!

When your return is rejected by the IRS, it is as if you never e-filed it or paid TurboTax. 

So you can re-open your return, fix what needs to be fixed, and then e-file it as if for the first time.

Wait a bit and the hold will drop.

No, there should not be an additional charge.  Make the corrections that apply and resubmit your returns for electronic filing.


You can wait until that hold on your credit card disappears if you like.

 

You can re-submit your e-filed return as many times as necessary until the filing deadline.  We recommend that after three unsuccessful attempts (with the same e-file error), you print, sign, and mail your return. 


To Re-File your return, select the option to refile when you’ve finished making corrections.

 

You can Select File in the left-hand menu and follow the onscreen instructions to either e-file your return or you can file by mail.

 

 If you get the same rejection a second time and you see no mistakes on your return, it may be best to select the File by mail option to paper-file your return.
