Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes. This was a mistake and it looks like I'm not alone. Seems like people that did not receive their stimulus checks yet frantically tried to update the IRS with their bank account information for direct deposit by using the non-filer return at https://www.freefilefillableforms.com/ in hope that it would result in processing the stimulus check to their banks and overlooked the disclaimer that the non-filer return was not meant for those that will file taxes for 2019 (including myself). The question now is, how to reverse this mistake? Do we now need to file a 1040X (for federal return) and IT-201X (for state return)? I am not so concerned about when we receive the refunds, but rather more concerned in regards to filing my 2019 taxes correctly and timely.

 

I attached a picture showing the status of my returns from turbotax where it shows my federal return pending and my state return printed (pdfed) and ready to mail.  While trying to efile it seems that the federal retrun went through electronically but 2019 NYS tax return could not be e-filed because there was a conflict where another return was e-filed under my social security number (assuming they are referring to the non-filer return).

 

Please provide guidance and assistance, thank you!aa2019taxstatus.JPG
