I accidentally filed my taxes twice what do I need to do about this?

I have a similar scenario but, with an added bonus. 

I originally started with TurboTax and had everything filled out and it was giving issues filing for me. I switched to HR block and submitted it that way. However; I accidentally left out a tax payment credit which would have bumped up my TR. I saw that I had to wait for it to come back and amend it. But; I went to double check TT and accidentally submitted it because it had the proper documents and refund. Which one will be rejected? And if it’s TT will The irs fix my error since I forgot the Tax credit? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Ok ... not sure how you can "accidentally" complete 5 screens in step 3 of the FILE tab to efile a return  BUT  if you managed to do so then you will have to wait and see which return is accepted first.   Since the IRS doesn't pull returns in the order they were put into the "holding pool" nor do they drain the pools from different companies in any set order no one can tell you which will be accepted.   

 

If the wrong one is accepted then you will have to WAIT and see if the IRS catches your error when processing the return.  If they don't then and only then should you amend the return.

Lack of sleep and being half awake I got an email from TT saying to complete it. I went on and did so and then realized that I filed but had two amounts. 

but, thank you for your response I’ll wait to see which one is accepted or not.

If my TurboTax efile was accepted does that mean the other one I accidentally filed would be rejected and how would I know if they rejected it or not

Correct the IRS system won’t accept two returns with the same social so if your rifle is accepted by the irs you should get a notification that the other one has been rejected

I filed my taxes with TaxSlayer the end of January. TurboTax kept sending me emails to sign in to finish my taxes so that's what I did. But I believe now I have filed two times what do I do?

I accidentally filed my taxes twice what do I need to do about this?

You can not file 2 times.  Usually the second one submitted will reject. Nothing to worry about.

 

You can check your Turbo Tax efile status here.  Hopefully it says rejected.  If it was Accepted then your first return did not go though.

That should not happen.  If one return was accepted the next one will reject.

hello Critter, 

 

So I also submitted two returns. One was accepted and the other was rejected. Will  the one that was accepted get approved as long as the info is correct? 

 

 

I accidentally filed my taxes twice what do I need to do about this?

Yes.  The rejected one doesn't affect anything.

okay, thank you. The refund amounts were different hopefully that doesn't cause a problem? I was missing a credit. The correct one did get accepted though so I am hoping it will be okay
