I think the IRS has a typo using L vs I (as in Iris) L7Q6. According to.this site I7Q6 is correct and L7Q6 is nowhere to be found but L7Q6 submits ok. Seems like they have a typo when valudating....whatever works...lol https://rebate.blue/qmid  

Hi LaShaun,   I tried that and it didn't work. It takes me to the page where I am supposed to pay when I click continue it loops back. I have tried the callback but I keep getting hung up on when I pick up. Anything else I can do?   Thanks

Generally, you can e-file your amended 2025, 2024, or 2023 federal return via TurboTax if your original return was also e-filed in TurboTax. However, there's a chance your return can't be e-filed based on your unique situation. If this happens, you'll need to print and mail your tax return.    Follow these instructions to amend a prior-year return.   E-filing 1040X

It sounds like the email was sent to you in error.  There was an issue with New York State returns that resulted in some returns being rejected.  Those taxpayers were notified by email.  If your New York return was accepted then there was no problem with it.  You don't need to take any further action.     If you expecting a refund from New York you can check the status of that refund by going to: Check your refund status online—anytime, anywhere!

thanks, I'm using the web version, but it doesn't appear to carry the scholarship amount I enter for room & board over to taxable income automatically.  So I guess the work-around of entering it on the 1098-T is the only option for web version?

If your Capital Loss Carryover shows $0 on the Income Topics page, that's a display issue that doesn't affect your return.  If you entered the amount of your carryover in the interview, you should get a screen 'Here are your Loss Carryover Amounts' and then a screen 'Your Losses Offset Your Income This Year'.   @ronk3737     

You can skip this part and continue with your return.  Ignore any questions regarding your wife's SSN.  You will not be able to e-file your tax return though, it will need to be mailed.  If you are married filing separately because your spouse is a non-resident alien, you will need to mail your return and write "NRA" in the space for their SSN.   If you are married filing jointly and your spouse does not have an SSN or ITIN, you must apply for one.  You will need to mail your tax return along with Form W-7 (ITIN application) and any proof required by the W-7, to the address for the W-7 application.  After the IRS issues the ITIN, they will process the tax return. The following link gives instructions on how to apply for an ITIN: How to apply for an ITIN
