You don’t add the LLC partnership return itself to your personal tax return, you enter your Schedule K-1 from the partnership.    The partnership files its own tax return, and a K-1 from that return is issued to each partner. You use this form to report your share of income, deductions, and credits.   When you have the K1, and you are ready to file it on your personal tax return, take the following steps:   Go to Federal → Wages & Income → Schedule K-1 → Partnership/LLC (and enter the K-1 exactly as issued. You’ll need TurboTax Premier or Self-Employed, and the income will flow automatically to the correct forms on your personal return. For more information on K1s, see our help article, What is a Schedule K-1? 

If your Form 1099 does not have a TIN, you can try entering "99-9999999," or leaving it blank. Always make sure your SSN is in the recipient field.    You can try contacting the issuer of the Form 1099 to get the proper TIN. You can ask for a corrected Form 1099 but you do not have to wait until you get it to file as long as you have the TIN. This would be the most accurate way to file.   Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.     If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed   The Form 1040X you need becomes available in late February,  But wait until your return has been processed.
