Not sure what you meant by "can I take to the IRS".   If you need to make changes to a tax return that has been accepted by the IRS, then you have to amend the tax return using Form 1040-X.   See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a prior year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-already-filed/L4VjJ9BA2_US_en_US?uid=ld1n99kr

It really is personal choice for the later years.  If there were not many changes, it might be better to do the later years online.  For the oldest years you are not able to e-file the amended return so the desktop version is best for those.

You will have to contact TurboTax support for assistance with this problem.  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

Why do you blame TurboTax for your non-payment/underpayment of your local PA tax?   A school district tax is a local tax. TurboTax does not prepare local tax returns for PA.   This was your own responsibility.   TurboTax only prepares a few city or local tax returns as an extra step in your state return.  For most local tax returns you are on your own.  You may have to ask around amongst your neighbors, etc. to find out if you have a local tax and how to pay it. “Google “ local tax for your area.  Call your city government, etc.  Your only record of paying your local tax will be your own bank/credit card records     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/city-tax-returns-turbotax-state-program/L0fev7XS3_US_en_US?uid=m69jiu1e    

Sorry---it is too late.   The stimulus checks were issued for tax years 2020 and 2021.   The deadline to file a 2020 return and get the recovery rebate credit for the 2020 amounts was in 2024; the deadline to file a 2021 return to get the 2021 recovery rebate credit was April 15, 2025.

Q. Do I need to claim NC taxes on my wages?  A. Simple answer: Yes, you should have both SC and NC tax withheld from your wages, if your employer is willing to do that, for you.   This is the general rule: The income is work state (SC) source income since it was earned there. Resident States (NC) tax all their resident's income, regardless of where earned. You will file a non-resident tax return for SC and report the SC income. You will file a full year resident return for NC, reporting all your income. NC will give you a credit, or partial credit for any tax paid to SC.   Since, NC generally has a higher tax rate, you will probably owe NC  (it depends on your income, there's a point where  the SC rate exceeds NC), you should probably have some NC tax withheld.     But it can get complicated, you may just want to "wait and see" for the first year (there may be a small underpayment penalty to NC).  Paying quarterly taxes to NC is another option.

Dear VolvoGirl (Level 15), I followed your instruction to download and install the 2024 Turbotax, but when I opend it,  it has only Fed software and ask me to pay $45 to purchase State software. I already paid State software when I purchase 2024 Turbotax Premier in Costco. How can I get State (California) one without additional payment? Thanks so much!   Best regards, Henry Liu
