This isn't working
"not working" needs more explanation in order for anyone to make a suggestion.
Or do you find no evidence of the 2018 return at all, and it's acting like it wants you to start one? In that case, we can tell you how to look for multiple accounts to find the prepared return.
Since you posted in this thread, I assume you have finished your return but have not yet filed at all, either by mailing or efiling. If you have not actually filed the 2018 return (have not efiled and have not filed by mail), then here's how to open your return back up to continue working on it, assuming you are in the correct account.
If you are having difficulties, then you need to describe what you are doing, and where the roadblock is--i.e., which of these steps fail?
- Log in and at the Tax Home scroll down and see if you see a link "Add a State".
- If not, go to the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents."
- Click on that line or the word SHOW to expand that section.
- Under 2018, look for a link "Add a State" and click. (that doesn't really add one; that's just to open the return back up.)
- Once the return is open, you can resume working on your return to make any corrections.
- If you make changes on the Federal side, you should review the screens in your State Taxes as well to be sure the changes are reflected on that side.
- Then go through the REVIEW tab to be sure all is still in order.
- Then go through the FILE tab to choose a filing method, etc.
- If filing by mail, it should prompt you to print the return and filing instructions.
- If efiling, be sure you go all the way to the end to the final screen and click the button "Transmit My Returns Now".
NOTE: Do NOT use this method to open a return to make changes/edits to an already-filed return (one that has actually been mailed or efiled.) If you later need to make changes to an already-filed return, you have to go through the formal amending process, and your return must start off exactly as originally filed.
