Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The error has to do with a qualifying widow(er) filing status.  If you are filing using that status then a dependent is also required on your return. 

 

  1. First, verify in the federal "Personal Info" interview your filing status and dependents are correct.  
  2. Then click "Online" at the top left of your TurboTax screen 
  3. Select "Check for updates"  
  4. Follow the prompts to ensure you have all the updates.    
  5. Once that process is complete close the program and re-open.   
  6. Go to "Forms View" in the upper right of your screen. 
  7. Find your MN form M1 in the left hand menu and select it.  
  8. Check the filing status boxes and dependents for accuracy.  
  9. If everything looks good go back to "step-by-step"  
  10. Click the "File" tab in the upper middle of your screen 
  11. Try the efile steps again

 

If the filing status and/or dependents are not showing correctly or the efile rejects again post your token number here in the forum.
