If you've already filed your return, and it was accepted, you will have to wait to see if it will process.

If you did not file the return, you can change the birthday in My Info.

You can see your return by using these steps:

From the left sidebar

  1. Select Tax tools
  • You may have to minimize both the Federal and State options by clicking the Down Arrows on the Sidebar.
  • You will then clearly see Tax Tools
  • Click the arrow to up to see additional options
  1. Click Tools
  2. A Menu will pop up
  3. Select View tax summary
  4. On the left panel click Preview my 1040

Some Key numbers to compare:

  • 11 Adjusted Gross Income
  • 12 Deductions
  • 15 Taxable income
  • 16 Tax
  • 19 Child Tax Credit
  • 26 Earned Income Tax Credit
  • 28 Additional Child Tax Credit
  • 33 Total Payments
  • 34 Overpayment
  • 35a Refund
  • 37 Amount you owe

I'll assume you haven't already filed the return.  Is that correct? 

If you haven't yet filed, here's how to correct it.   I show 2 possible scenarios below.

 

You don't have to start over to correct a birth date.    Had you finished your return (but not yet filed it) so the return interview is closed?    If so, at the Tax Home page, look for a link Add a State.   That doesn't really add one, but will open the return interview back up.    When the interview is open, you can then navigate to correct your birth date.

 

Or is it this?   Do you log in, and there's no evidence at all that you prepared a 2024 return in that account, and it's acting like it wants you to start one?    If that's the case, you may be in the wrong account, and we can tell you how to look for multiple accounts.
