if you have already filed, you'll need to file an amended return if the income was not included. if you haven't filed, you'll need to include the income in your return.  File ASAP because, if you owe, late payment penalties and interest will continue to accrue for an amended return and, in addition, late filing penalties if you owe but have not yet filed. 

@mine6m  You got there in the end.  The parent-employer (in this case, the parent's LLC) does not have to withhold social security and medicare tax, does not have to pay the employer matching half of social security and Medicare, and does not have to pay federal unemployment insurance tax.   But the employee always has to pay income tax.  

Thank you for the info. I don't know why I did it that way since I usually just use my credit card.  Hope they enjoy using my money.... sorry it wasn't more! What concerns me is how they get my info and how they use it. At my age, I'm still learning from my mistakes!  Thank you for your time.

Please follow the steps in this link to manually update your software.  This should resolve the software issues and allow you to proceed. What does my rejected return code mean and how do I fix it also will have steps to assist you in resolving the e-file message.   @Tkgoodwin78 

thank you for the response, as there is so many information on irs, it gets all too confusing. for some reason i thought futa was part of the income tax, that is why we thought it wouldn't be taxed.  thanks for the patience

We at Intuit TurboTax want our users to be completely delighted with their experience using our products and services, and successful in their financial lives and businesses.    Once you file your return, as long as the settings to receive communication from Intuit don’t block it, you will see a pop-up message or receive an email with a survey asking you about your experience. We encourage you to leave your notes and comments there. “Voice of the Customer” notes and comments are read and acted upon.   If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can also leave feedback at the Final Steps tab:  

I checked all of that already except for the third party. I chose to deduct fees from my federal refund, but the IRS website said it was deposited already. I have called the IRS and my personal bank. The IRS confirmed it was sent both on the website and over the phone. My personal bank confirmed it has not seen a deposit. Who is the third party if it isn’t TT? Thanks.

Assuming you are trying to enter your charitable contributions made by your S-Corporation, you will need to follow these steps to ensure the cash contribution flows to your Schedule K.     To do this, log back into your TurboTax Business account. Select the Federal Taxes tab. Then, select Deductions. Under the section titled Business Expenses, select start or update to the right of Charitable donations.   On the page titled "Charitable Contributions Summary - Cash", select Add A Contribution.   You will then be able to enter your charitable contributions.  Your entries here will flow through to your Schedule K on your 1120-S Form.

A 1099 can't be e-filed without a correct tax ID number (SSN or EIN) but one could be filed by mail if an appropriate explanation was attached.   More importantly, if you perform work for someone and they pay you, you are required to report your income and pay the correct tax, regardless of whether they issue a 1099.  If you planned to work "under the table" and now they are issuing a 1099, that's just following the law.     You should have already reported this income on your tax return, even without the 1099.  If they issue a 1099 late, the IRS may eventually send you a letter asking about the income, and you would reply that you already included it in your taxable income without the 1099. 

Your refund is not being issued or controlled by TurboTax.   TurboTax only gave you an estimated date for your refund to be issued, based on the 21-day average processing time.  Only the IRS is in control.     Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities.  There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.   TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.      First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS.
