When did you file 2023?  Did you mail it?  If you used the Online version this year to do your 2023 return that was wrong.   Online is only good for 2024.   If you filed 2023 late or mailed it then use 0 for the AGI to efile 2024.   The IRS won’t have it in the right database to verify you for  2024.

If you are required to use an IP PIN to file your taxes, they won't get accepted.  Contact the IRS to find out why.   An IP PIN (Identity Protection PIN) which is a 6-digit number that the IRS provides to taxpayers to validate their identity, you will need to contact the IRS.    Refer to the following TurboTax Help articles What's an IP PIN? Do I need one? and How do I get my 6-digit IP PIN?

Don't resend your payment. You can call the IRS to check if your payment has been credited to your account.  Call the IRS at 800-829-1040.   Refer to the IRS FAQ I'm concerned because my check payment to the IRS hasn't been cashed yet. What should I do? for more information.

Hi,  We used to share our turbo tax with family members in different households. we could do this using our own login info. it appears to have changed now? we need to all use the same login info? it seems like all privacy will be lost if we can all see each others returns? This doesn't seem like a positive change Thanks,

No, because you filed your tax return close to the due date, the IRS has received an overwhelming number of tax returns to process.   Once your tax return has been e-filed, and accepted, TurboTax doesn't have any other information about your refund. If you are referring to your federal refund, you can check your federal refund status here.    For additional information, refer to the TurboTax article Where’s My Tax Refund? How to Check Your Refund Status for additional information.

@NCperson  My TRAD IRA basis on 12/31/23 was a positive number because I have been making traditional IRA contributions and recharacterizing (in the same year) to Roth the last few years.  Regarding your second question, I think I have seen it in previous years but I did not get those this year. These are the questions I get this year   Is this the repayment of a retirement distribution? No Tell us how much you contributed $8000 Tell us how much you transferred $8000 Your IRA explanation statement - entered details with dates Any excess IRA contributions before 2024? No Any nondeductible contributions to IRA? Yes - made and tracked non-deductible contributions to IRA IRA Basis - Amount as of Dec 31, 2023 Your income is too high to contribute (warning - seen it in prior years) You currently have a penalty - $480 (new message not seen in prior years)   Thank you!

The person on your tax return that needs the 6-digit PIN should have received a CP01A letter from the IRS with the PIN.  If no one on your tax return received a letter, go on the IRS website Retrieve Your Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) for instructions for a replacement.   Review the TurboTax Help article E-file reject IND-996: The Dependent/Qualifying Person Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) provided on the return is not valid for more information on this reject code.

"I went back into TT and corrected the Roth conversion part of the return. "   What is the correction that you had to make? Does Form 8606, which suddenly appeared, properly reflect that correction.?     We can't see your tax return.   @madkiwis
