Actually, step by step is better.  After the initial screens in the Foreign Tax Credit section (referring to INT/DIV),  you're asked a couple questions on using the simplified method.  Then you'll see a screen 'Completing Forms 1116,  and the next screen is where the various income types are listed.     Here's more info on Claiming the Foreign Tax Credit.   @srr         

Hi, It was rejected due to Fed rejection.   However, I logged into IRS.gov and created a PIN and a few minutes later, I got a message that Federal was accepted (without me having to resubmit or correct anything through TurboTax).   My fear is that the STATE is now in limbo (pending) and still thinks Federal has been rejected and waiting for correction before it tries State again.   Hope that makes sense!  Thanks  

You can Amend Your Return for the past three years.  You cannot claim a refund further back than three years. 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)

I’m having such a hard time with this error. This is obviously a glitch, has anyone resolved this 1099-K needs review error? All my personal sales were at a loss. This should not be this difficult. I really need help and the only way is to upgrade to live assistance to get any help? This is truly unacceptable, and I’m not confident that I will get this resolved by upgrading since I’ve been reading other people’s experiences. 

Until you pay for the program, you can't see all of the tax forms and schedules. You can see your Form 1040 and schedules 1 to 3 while working online with TurboTax as follows:   To view your form 1040 and schedule 1 to 3:   Choose Tax Tools from your left menu bar in TurboTax Online while working in your program Choose Tools Choose View Tax Summary See the Preview my 1040 option in the left menu bar and click on it Choose the Back option in the left menu bar when you are done  @cstien 

Go back into your federal return and go to "Other Tax Situations" at the top.  Scroll down to 'Other Tax Forms" and click start or update on "Form W-4 and Estimated Taxes".  Go through there and make certain that the program has set up the estimates for you.  If everything looks good there then the estimates will print with your return.   @weathersbk 

To print and mail your return, you will have to change the filling method. If you are working within TurboTax Online follow these steps to mail your return  From your Home Screen locate the Review and File section, and then Continue Under Step 3, click continue under Get Ready to Save and File your return. Select File by Mail. If your state says E-file, click on change and mark it as Mail. Once you complete all remaining information you will be able to print it and the mailing instructions will be within the printouts. If You have the Desktop Version Click on the link below for further instructions    How do I file my return by mail?  

If you owe taxes, the penalty for not filing on time AND not paying is much higher than the penalty for not paying.  You should file your return if you are ready, even if you can't pay.  You can select "I will pay by mail" so the IRS will not take a tax payment from your bank account.    If you are not ready to file either, get an extension, and file when you can.   Then, after you file your return, go to the IRS web site and look at options for payment plans.   https://www.irs.gov/payments/payment-plans-installment-agreements   Depending on the amount you owe and the time it will take to pay, getting on a payment plan will reduce the penalties for late payment. 

When you file a return, you will get approvals from both federal and state.  Could it be that your email saying that the return was accepted, was just for the federal?  See the TurboTax help article below for information on how to fix a rejected return.     What does my rejected return code mean and how do I fix it?   Reach out again if you have any more questions.
