I efiled my federal and my state tax return and I have received my state refund and it was short due to mistake in calculations and the agent is supposed to call me this morning because last night he couldn't figure out a way for me to send a diagnostic copy after i already efiled and do not have the tool kit option in my menu.


I don't know you were already scheduled with an agent.  Here's how to open your return interview so you get the full left column menu including TAX TOOLS and subsequent steps to share with a TT agent and get a token number.
.

  • Log in and at the Tax Home click on "Add a State".   That doesn't really add one, but opens the return back up.
  • Once the return interview is open, do not make any changes in either the Fed or state return.   If you later have to amend the return, the amending process has to start off exactly as filed.
  • Once you have the full left column menu, click on TAX TOOLS, then TOOLS.
  • In the Tools Center popup choose Share my file with agent.
  • A smaller popup will tell you how it sanitizes your file to make a diagnostic copy and asks you to agree to continue.
