Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I think I put in the wrong state ID number and I think I may have put in an incorrect income amount from one of the boxes.. will the IRS fix it for me?

Is this a huge mistake that I need to amend or will they fix it for me? I made a small mistake last year and they fixed it but I don't know if they will fix it for me this year?

They will almost certainly fix it for you.  If it results in a reduction in your refund then you will receive the smaller amount as well as a letter explaining the changes.  If it results in you owing money then you will receive a bill.

 

If they don't catch it (unlikely, but possible) then wait until you receive your refund and come back to TurboTax to amend your return.

Thank you !! I think it will lower my refund a bit which is fine I just would rather them fix it then have to amend.

Please see this Help Article for information on how to check your e-file status. Once your returns are accepted, you will be able to track them. 


Refunds usually take about 21 days after the IRS has accepted your e-filed return. If the IRS has accepted your e-filed return, you can check the status of your refund by going directly to: https://www.irs.gov/refunds

 

Additionally, you can check out this Help Article for instructions on how to track your state refund.

 

The TurboTax amend process for 2022 will be available soon. When it's ready and your returns have been accepted or rejected, you can e-file your 2022 1040-X (if you need to amend your returns). Please see this Help Article for more information.
