To the best of my knowledge, I used Turbotax to do my 2019 Federal and State tax returns just before midnight on July 15, 2020. I had misplaced my 2019 W-2s, and I told myself to just file without that W-2 information (I think I entered zero where it asked for that W-2 information) just so that I would not be charged a late-filing penalty. A few days later, I found my W-2s and went back into Turbotax to redo my 2019 returns. But Turbotax stated my 2019 Federal and State tax returns had already been filed and I could not refile for 2019. After extreme effort, I finally got through to a Federal IRS agent in December 2020 and explained the above (never got through to a California state IRS rep). The Federal IRS agent checked, placed me on a long hold, came back and said they do not show any indication I filed a 2019 tax return. Fast forward, my search for answers for what to do led me to this Turbotax forum. What little I could find on the Internet also indicated I needed to file paper tax returns for Federal and State tax year 2019.
Apart for this, I had thought you would only get a Stimulus check if the IRS had found you filed a 2019 tax return. Since I have not receive any Stimulus check yet, wouldn't this support my thought? While writing you about my entire matter today, I noticed a banner in Turbotax stating something about a third Stimulus check. I have not received any so far. Will following what you state below re "Jump to stimulus" and "Federal Review" and "Recovery rebate credit on 1040 line 30" qualify me to receive all three (if that third one is approved)?
Thank you so much again.
