Open a web browser (i.e. Chrome), and go to turbotax.intuit.com and enter the credentials that you have been using to work on your tax return.  Once you've logged in, you should be able to continue working on your return as you normally would.

Just talked to their crappy resolution specialist and she’s saying that I have an offset. no way is that possible. I told her this is happening to hundreds of people and coworkers that are using their software and she says everyone is getting a offset

We'd love to help you complete your tax return, but need more information. Can you please clarify your question?  What section of TurboTax is this taking place​ in?  Did you have any carryovers on your 2024 return that are rolling over to 2025? If so, what was carried over? Tax credit, passive losses, ordinary losses?

As long as you transmitted the e-file submission before the deadline, the IRS will have record that you met the e-filing deadline on time. It can take up to 4 weeks for the IRS to process e-filed W-2's. In QEF, use the PDF button next to each form to print the recipient copies and mail copies to recipients by February 2.    From the Intuit Quick Employer Forms online FAQ:    I e-filed my form(s), how will I know it was accepted with the IRS or SSA?   After e-filing your W-2 or 1099 form, please monitor your form status in the Forms tab of the corresponding business. The form status will change from "E-File Processing" to either "E-File Accepted" or "E-File Rejected", once the Government Agency processes the form.    The status change may take up to 2 to 4 weeks. You will also receive a notification by e-mail when the status changes.   For W-2 and 1099-NEC, e-file is due by February 2, 2026 . For 1099-MISC, 1099-INT and 1099-DIV, efile is due by March 31, 2026 .   State requirements: I have electronically filed, now do I have to mail or submit anything to my State?   After e-filing, be sure to check your state's website for W-2 or 1099 reporting requirements. Each state's requirements vary, and most don't require the forms be submitted. Perform an Internet search for your state web address to find details. You do not need to mail anything to the IRS or SSA after e-filing with Quick Employer Forms.

Removing the 8453-FE and reattaching worked today for me also.  Please note that I did try this multiple times over the past few days, and it didn't work....so....your mileage may vary.  I would say if you had previously tried it without success, give it a shot now.  Thanks to those who provided this solution...and I'm glad to have this filing out of the way!

If you have already filed and the VA state return has been accepted, there's nothing you can do.  You will have to wait for your return to process and hopefully VA processes it without any issues.  If you're due a refund on your VA state return you can monitor the status here.   If your return was rejected or have not yet filed, go to your VA state return in TurboTax and go to the Other Tax Situations section and revisit the Virginia Identity PIN section and edit accordingly.

That is due to a missing Form 8283 for charitable donations - that section was recently updated.  This is now fixed but you will need to follow these steps to generate the form and fix your rejection:   Sign in to your TurboTax Online account and select Fix my return. Select Federal from the left menu, then Deductions & Credits. Scroll down to Charitable Donations and select Revisit next to Donations to Charity in 2025. You must review each non-cash donation entry. For any donation or group of similar items over $500, ensure you have provided: The organization's name and address. A description of the property. The date you acquired it and how (e.g., purchase, gift). Your cost or basis and the Fair Market Value (FMV). Once you provide these details, TurboTax will automatically generate Form 8283.   If the form still does not appear in your Tax Summary: Go to Tax Tools > Tools > Delete a form. Check if there is a "ghost" Form 8283 or Charitable Contribution Worksheet that is blank. Delete it. Go back to the Donations section and re-enter the details for the specific high-value items. This forces the software to re-trigger the form creation. Once corrected, proceed to the File section to resubmit your federal return.    From TurboTax Expert CatinaT1

In Online TurboTax you cannot prepare more than 1 online Federal return in the same account (User ID).   Don't try to prepare a second one in the same account; it would overwrite the first return.    Each Federal return has to have its own account (User ID).   That being said, you can use the same email address for account notifications, however, in the Intuit Account Profile Settings for up to 5 accounts.   But each user ID (login) has to be  unique for each account.   In the desktop software, one can prepare multiple Federal returns and have up to 5 free Federal efiles.  The desktop software is the best choice for families or others needing to prepare multiple returns.
