My refund was rejected. I do not have schedule F but a program ask me to fix it.

[Pom88]

Can someone help? I cannot e-file my refund. It got reject, and Turbotax shown a message stating that I need to fix schedule F.
I do not even have a schedule F on my return. Nor did I touch anything as an income other than my w-2. I cannot fix it for re e-file. All my forms looks good but it get reject within minutes after I re e-file. Do you have any suggestion? I tried to contact a tech support but the only way to get a hold of them is to wait at least 45 minutes. This is very disappointed. I have use Turbotax for more than 10 years and this time, the software must have had an error. I must get a refund or dispute a charge through Costco if intuit cannot fix this problem for e-file. I would not pay $ for mail in my tax and wait for 2 months. Thank you for your help in advance.

You can search for and fix your own return for the reject on the Schedule F, if you are not supposed to have one in your return.

Did you receive a 1099-NEC from any source?  That may have been entered into the Schedule F, Farming section of the return.

A 1099-NEC is different than a W-2, which you receive for working for an employer and taxes have generally been withheld for social security, Medicare, and federal and state withholding.

Open your return back up and go to the wages and Income section and look for the "self-employment income and expenses" section and select "review".

TurboTax shows you:

"Your 2020 self-employed work summary" and under that, you can edit or delete a line of work you've already entered, or add a new one.

You need to look at the farming section (Schedule F)  to see what has been entered.  If you entered information that was not received, you will get an opportunity to delete the applicable tax reporting document if one was not received.

If you still have questions, please update this entry with the new information.

Thank you gloriah5200 for trying to find a solution for me. As stated many times, I only have W2 and turbotax messed up a customer trust badly. I called 1800 support and a rep. remotely log in to my laptop and verified that I do not have schedule F. Repeat, my software does not has any information on farm income. I checked, opened the page and click I do not have on the bottom of a screen. My tax return also has no schedule F and turbotax made my tax return gotten rejected with a reason to fix schedule F. It is unbelievable. No way to fix it, and I will not pay $$ for a software and mail in my return that will take 2 months. Very disappointed. I already used other tax software and my return already accepted in less than 1 days.

Thank you for answering my concern though. I really appreciated it, but not the software which is the issue.

Im having same issue in the end what did  you end up doing to fix the problem? Did you end up filing them with different software or did you end up mailing them in?

Hi Alicia3144,

I filed with another software using IRS free-file provided link. I returned the software to Costco.
One more issue is I am still waiting for the refund (3 month this week).
Do you know of anyone having to wait for a refund very long this year?
My friend who filed with standard deduction using Turbotax still waited for 2 month, but the refund was received late April.

Hope this information help Alicia.
