How old is she?  How much did she earn?   You cannot add your children's W-2 to your tax return.  They must put in on their own return.  To claim someone as a Qualifying Relative, they must be: Your child ( including step children, adoptive children and foster children) or a descendent of them Your sibling (including half siblings) or a child of your sibling or a sibling-in-law Your parent or grandparents, including step parents and in laws Any other person that lived with you for the entire tax year Not a qualifying child of another taxpayer Someone that you provided over half of their support for during the tax year Has less than $5,050 in income (not counting social security) The following criteria must be met to claim someone as a qualifying child: Your child (including adopted and foster children), your sibling, or a descendent of any of them. Age 18 or younger at the end of the tax year OR under 24 (and younger than you and your spouse) if they are a full-time student Lived with you for more than 6 months during the tax year They did not provide more than half of their own support (social security does not count) They did not file a joint return, unless it was to claim a refund Have a social security number that is valid for employment

Extending your return only gives you extra time to file your tax return.   Any tax due should be paid by the original due date of the return.  The amount listed on the extension form is generated from your input within TurboTax.   Please see what if I can't pay my taxes for more information.

You will have to contact TurboTax support for assistance with this problem. Use the key words Billing Issue See this TurboTax support FAQ for contacting support - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/turbotax-phone-number/L0Od33nMQ_US_en_US?uid=lfgviwbm

Mortgage Interest reported on Form 1098, is entered in the Deductions and Credits section, under 'Your Home'.   Here's more info on Mortgage Interest on Timeshares.   @RussandJill         

Even though you are using the desktop program it uses the internet to transmit the tax returns.  Try clearing your cache and cookies as @HeatherPLO advised above so that the return can be transmitted.   @marcusgrantl 

There is no local income tax in New Jersey. Boxes 18, 19, and 20 on your W-2 should be blank. Leave those boxes empty in TurboTax. Some New Jersey employers put FLI in box 19. It doesn't belong there. It belongs in box 14. Enter FLI in box 14 in TurboTax. Leave boxes 18, 19, and 20 empty.  

Thanks.  I am a little confused though. There is itemized deduction, where I can use the mortgage interest and property tax. And there is passive loss deduction. I have used the property part time for personal use while it was not rented. I am not sure should I be allowed a passive loss deduction or for itemized deduction (1098).

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?" 

Have you asked this 3rd party about the W-2 that they send you?   1. Is the health insurance premium included in the Box 1 amount? 2. If the health insurance premium is not included in box 1, then would it not be appropriate to include a code DD in box 12 with the amount of the health insurance premium? 4. Is this 3rd party the one debiting your checking account for the health insurance premium, or is it someone else?   I am curious to their thought process.

I wonder if it's an offset. The IRS and State Governments have the ability to offset a refund to pay for certain past due debts.  You generally will receive a letter stating what the offset was for.    The IRS provides a toll-free number, (800) 304-3107, to call for information about tax offsets.

None of this is working!! And there is NO information to make the adjustments. PLEASE Get this together. I have a six digit pin given to me by the IRS and when I change it like told above. It still insists of only 5 numbers! I would certainly like to file on time! Thanks!
