Can i refile my taxes

If your return was rejected, see this FAQ on How to fix your rejected return!

 

If you need to make changes after you have filed and your return has been accepted by the IRS, see this Turbo Tax FAQ regarding How to amend your return.

Can i refile my taxes

My e-mail from TurboTax says my return was accepted, but the IRS does not have it. Taxes were filed 2/15/2021.

No, you cannot refile your taxes. They would be rejected because the social security number has already been submitted. The only thing to do is wait.

 

For more information, see: What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

Can i refile my taxes

Sorry to be dense, but The IRS Does not recognize that I have filed my taxes.  I have logged onto the IRS site, and they have no record of my filing from 2/15/2021. If no one has my return, I need to file it.

Can i refile my taxes

If Turbo Tax shows accepted then the IRS got it.  The IRS Where's my refund lookup doesn't work very good.  It is overloaded and isn't showing some returns.  People have received their refunds and it never showed up there.

Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my return now?”  If you did that, you cannot do anything to fix it yet.  You have to wait for the email that tells you if your return was accepted or rejected. Those emails will not start coming in until the IRS begins to accept/reject e-files in late January.   If you do not see an email, check your spam folder.

 

 

 

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.

 

If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.

 

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return. 

 

 If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.

 

  Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed
