You should contact the company that issued the form and get the correct number from them.  If the original form was issued with the incorrect number, you should also request for them to correct the form.     @unique1911 

Your state rejected due to the year, owner(s), owner type, property address, assessed land and improvement value and acres (when more than one) must be provided. If entries are from a personal property tax bill with no assessed land value, the land value may be zero but Homestead Note #14 must be checked.   Please review the reason for the reject. If necessary, make the appropriate change and re-submit this return electronically. However, if the reject continues, you may want to file this return via U.S. Mail. To file your state return, print it and mail to the appropriate taxing authority.

Why do you think you need to update your account?    If you filed a joint return---and did so correctly----then you and your spouse prepare ONE tax return with all of your combined information on that one Form 1040.  There is no reason for you to enter your information again into your own account.    Do you have the mistaken idea that you each file a joint return?   What did you enter on the first return?

It's not clear what you are trying to do. When you file as married filing jointly you file one tax return for the two of you together, from one TurboTax Online account. All of the tax information for both of you is in that one account. If you have another TurboTax account for some reason, besides the account that you used to file jointly, there is no reason to enter any information in the other account. It is not being used.  

"I took distributions from a 401(k) and a 403(b) in order to satisfy RMD. These distributions were reported on the same 1099-R. "   It's improper for the payer to report on a single Form 1099-R distributions from different accounts.  Perhaps what you received is a single sheet on which is printed two separate Forms 1099-R, each of which must be entered into TurboTax separately.  If the sheet separately lists the gross amount distributed from each account, this suggests that you have received two Forms 1099-R printed on a single sheet.

@riadassi    Having a Schedule C does not prevent you from claiming the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. The net self-employment income on Schedule C can be foreign earned income that is eligible for the exclusion. Did you go through the "Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion" topic in TurboTax after you completed the Schedule C? You have to go through that topic in order to exclude the foreign earned income. The exclusion will appear on Schedule 1 line 8d. Did you look at Schedule 1 to see if the exclusion is there? Are you using TurboTax Online or the desktop TurboTax software? Which edition are you using (Basic, Deluxe, etc.)?  

@lewisronell    If you want to clear what might already be in your "online" 2024 tax file: 1)  Log into your tax file. 2) Continue it such that you are inside the tax interview somewhere. 3)  Use the left side Tools/Tax Tools menu to bring up a pop-up box that allows you to: 4)  select...."Clear and start over"    (you just won't start over) 5)  Exit the program.

I entered the Payer's TIN number into TurboTax when it asked for the Payer's EIN number. When I electronically submitted my Federal tax return for 2024, it was rejected. The return was rejected because it states that the EIN number that I entered doesn't match the IRS records. I checked the 1099-R and the number I entered, and they match. What should I do now?
