Thanks! I just could not find that information anywhere (the point about not being penalized in case of late filed returns). Will TT let me re-file my return once I get the PIN in 10 days? It will be way past any deadlines, incl the May 24th, which is what TT says I have until to fix my return.
Yes, you'll be able to efile when you get the IP PIN. TurboTax will let you efile through October 15, when efiling shuts down, so you have plenty of time.
The May rejection-fix date is for folks whose return was rejected on or before May 17, and they have a few extra days to resubmit the efile without late penalty (if they owe tax due.) i.e., their return would still be considered filed "on time" and would avoid a late return penalty. It's a moot point if someone is due a Federal refund, however, since in that case there is no late return penalty.
Again, with a Federal refund, you don't have to worry about a late return. You have up to 3 years to claim the Federal refund, but don't wait that long. 😃
You haven't mentioned a state return, but its rules could vary.
