Are you sure your return wasn't rejected for another reason?   Here's how you can fix it:  Sign in to your account and select the Fix my return button. Follow any “fix it” instructions to update the information causing the rejection.    Note: Not all rejections will have explicit guides to fix the information. You’ll need to navigate to the program area to address the cause of the rejection.    Time-saving Tip: If what you originally entered is correct, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, a dependent that's already been claimed, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return. This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.    Additional reject instruction here. 

The IRS presumes that income reported on an IRS form 1099-NEC is self-employment income reported on IRS Schedule C Profit and Loss From Business.   In TurboTax Premier Online, report self-employment income and expenses by following these directions:   Down the left side of the screen, click Federal. Down the left side of the screen, click Wages & Income. Click on the drop down arrow to the right of Self-employment. Click to the right of Self-employment income and expenses. At the screen Tell us the type of self-employment work you do, enter the answer and click Continue. Establish the self-employment activity and report the income and expense. See this TurboTax Help.

I am not sure what form you are asking about. Line 18 of Form 1040 does not correspond to your question.   If you are asking about Box 18 of your Form W-2 Box 18 reports the total amount of wages subject to local income taxes. You may also have multiple local W-2 forms if you worked in more than one locality during the year. Many times, this will be the same number as the earnings listed in boxes 1 and 16. This will be blank if an employee does not pay any local taxes.   If you believe your W-2 was issued incorrectly, you should contact your employer/payroll company to discuss and have a corrected form issued if necessary. In general, you should enter your Form W-2 into TurboTax as it is shown.   The instructions for Form W-2 Box 18 say the following: Boxes 15 through 20—State and local income tax information (not applicable to Forms W-2AS, W-2CM, W-2GU, or W-2VI).  Use these boxes to report state and local income tax information. Enter the two-letter abbreviation for the name of the state. The employer's state ID numbers are assigned by the individual states. The state and local information boxes can be used to report wages and taxes for two states and two localities. Keep each state's and locality's information separated by the broken line.        I

The IP Pin will change each and every year. This is an Identity Protection Pin.      You can get an Identity Protection pin here, or if you lost your IP PIN, you can go here to Retrieve IP PIN.    Here are two ways to navigate to the section to enter the 6 digit IP PIN:     Log in and open your return ("Take me to my return")  Once the return is open, then go to the Federal Taxes tab.  Subtab Other Tax Situations  Scroll down to Other Return Info.  Choose Identity Protection PIN and Start (or Revisit.)  Next screen asks:  "Did you or any of your dependents get an IP PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?"  Or another way:  Open your return if not already open.  ("Take me to my return.")  Once the return is open, click at the top on MY ACCOUNT, then choose TOOLS.  In the Tools window choose TOPIC SEARCH.  Enter IP PIN without quotes.  In the selection list highlight IP PIN and click GO.  Next screen asks:  "Did you or any of your dependents get an IP PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?" 

We are facing the same issue, and this is still not resolved as of April 7. It seems to be a major issue in the software but we can not seem to get a real answer, the only feedbackk recieved has been to file by mail. So why pay for the software? Very disappointed with TurboTax this year.
