It is too late to get the federal stimulus checks which were issued for tax years 2020 and 2021.  There have been no other federal stimulus checks since 2021.   You are now too late to get a refund for a 2022 tax return--the refund has been forfeited.   If you owe tax due, it is owed with late filing penalties and interest.    You can use the desktop download software on a full PC or Mac to prepare past year returns. You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2025 only.   Only a 2025 return can be prepared online and only a 2025 return can be e-filed.   Online preparation and e-filing for 2022, 2023, and  2024 is permanently closed. Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.   To file a return for a prior tax year  If you need to prepare a return for 2022, 2023, or 2024  you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s) https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/ You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.   Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0     https://www.irs.gov/refunds   Refunds for tax years 2021 or earlier have been forfeited and will not be paid to you even if shown on the tax return form.  But if you owe tax due, you will still have to pay, and you will be billed later for the interest and penalties owed.  TurboTax will not calculate the penalties or  interest.   That will be done by the IRS/state after they receive your return with your payment of the tax due as shown on the tax form(s).       When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.          

Paying your fees did not file your tax return.   If you did not go all the way through the FILE section to click a big orange button that said "Transmit my returns now" then you did not e-file.   The only way to file a 2024 tax return now in 2026 is by mail.    You will need to print it, sign and date it in ink, and mail  it in.     When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

If the email with the 6-digit code is not going to your spam/junk folder, here's something else to try:   You can go to your settings in your Intuit Account and may be able to verify your email address there if it's not verified.  Or you can correct/change the email address if desired (using the steps below.)     Here's how: In the left menu column scroll way down to Intuit Account. Then once in the account choose tab Sign In & Security. See if your email address has a tiny link beside it that says "not verified".  If so, click that to verify. Perhaps once you verify it there in the account settings, it won't ask you to verify it again when you are efiling. Or you can change that notifications email address, if desired.  If you do, also verify it while you are in the account settings.   If after all that, you still can't resolve your issue, here's how to reach TurboTax Support 5AM-9PM Pacific.   FAQ: What is the TurboTax phone number? https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/what-is-the-turbotax-phone-number/00/25632   If you use Free Edition and don't have phone support, another way to reach them if you have social media is to direct message a Support agent: https://x.com/TeamTurboTax or https://www.facebook.com/turbotax

Thanks for this response.  I realized it was more than just the personal info that was missing; the entire 1040-X column A (original entries) and column B (calculated changes) were blank.  Somehow TurboTax was offering me the chance to do an amended return without knowing what return I was amending or who I was (i.e. without specifying which return I was amending).  Not sure how I got it to behave that way.  I ended up starting it all over again from scratch and finally it worked as expected.  It must have been user error on my part, but it certainly behaved like a software bug.     Things were weird for a while there but I got things working again.     Thanks.

@TJKMCrow  Did you file your 2024 return with Online TurboTax?  If you are in the same account, it should have transferred in automatically, and should be at the Tax Home in the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents."     Otherwise, we can tell you how to find the 2024 return if it's not in the current account you are using.   Or if you have an online IRS account, the 2024 AGI is displayed on one of the pages there.   First see this FAQ and video   FAQ: How do I find last year's AGI? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/find-last-year-agi/L0SiDtTNI_US_en_US

Did you get anywhere with this? I am having the same issue. I NEED form 1116. Ridiculous. I am using web so I think it's even worse. I don't have a form view. I think I will switch to better software in the future. 

It may or may not mean anything is wrong with the return.   Sometimes it's just for ID verification purposes to be sure it was you that filed the return.    Sometimes returns are pulled at random for more review.      You'll have to ask the IRS.  They are nice and glad to help.  They may or may not be able to give any information. Sometimes they are hard to reach.  I usually try around 7:30 AM or 6;50 PM.  If you call at that late time, and if you're still in the queue when they close, they should still take your call.  It's also best later in the week like today.  If a robot answers, I usually say something like "account management" or "speak to an agent about my account."  You may have to say it more than once.
