Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I'm confused...

You may be able to e-file your return, without Form 14039, depending on why you want to include the form.

 

According to the IRS, Form 14039 affidavit should be filed in two cases:

  1. If the taxpayer attempts to file an electronic tax return and the IRS rejects it because a return bearing the taxpayer’s Social Security number already has been filed; OR
  2. The IRS instructs the taxpayer to do so.

I don't think I fall into either of those categories.

  1. I haven't attempted to file electronically this year.
  2. The IRS didn't send me any kind of letter. The only reason I filled out Form 14039 in the first place is because after TurboTax asked if I was a victim of identity theft and I answered yes, it had me fill out that form.

So getting back to @Gingerj's question:

Last year I was allowed to efile my forms and then had to send that form via mail. Do you expect this will also be the situation by 2/11 this year as well- OR am I only going to be able to file via snail mail????
