No record of refund?

[Anthony777]

Here’s the breakdown; I filed a 1099 on April 8th through the turbo tax app, and did this because I couldn’t find my W-2 from the months I worked in 2019. I didn’t make over 12,000 as a single, and I have no valuable assets. I filed this to become eligible for the 1200.00$ stimulus. Then my boss emailed me a copy of my W-2, so I went back on turbo tax app to add this income from 2019, and it said I qualified for the income tax credit. Then it said it was accepted and went through. But; now the app is saying I don’t have a refund even though when I download the 1040 pdf document on my account it shows I should be getting 338.00$ federal refund. Yet the IRS has no record of it.

You cannot just add information to an already filed & accepted return.  You also cannot re-e-file an accepted return, only if your return was rejected can you add information then re-e-file.

To add information or change information on a filed & accepted return, you must amend your return.  Amended returns must be mailed, they cannot be e-filed.  They can take 16 weeks or more to be processed.

You would need to undo any changes you made to your original filed return.  Then you would need to go through the amendment interview to males changes.

So if I haven’t mailed in the 1040x then there’s no amending to what was already accepted correct?

Correct, when you entered the new information, it never was sent to the IRS (or State).  As stated above you need to mail in the amended return.  Also, any refund due with an amended return is sent by check, there is no direct deposit with amended return.s
