Did you already e-file? What do you think you did wrong? if you e-filed, do not try to change it yet. Post back here with details so we can help.

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. The IRS does not allow you to take it back.

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

Hello! I also think I did something wrong.

I just e-filed and then a few days later received Letter 6475.

It doesn’t match what I can see on line 30. I think I reported what was in my bank account. I’m not sure what to do.
Any expertise would be helpful!

It should not match line 30. Line 30 is for any more you qualify for. The 3rd Stimulus payment is 1,400 for everyone listed on your 2021 tax return. You enter the amount you got during the year to see if you qualify for more.
