When trying to submit an efile I get a submission duplicate error  Oh, if it doesn't let you actually efile, that sounds like that is a TurboTax message not a rejection.  Was it like a popup?   TurboTax may think you or "someone" has already submitted a return with that SSN based on its own database.   Is it just your SSN on the return, or does it also have spouse and dependents?     @ MarilynG1  Do you think this is an internal error message from TurboTax blocking submission, and if so, do you have information on it, and what steps to take?    Thanks.

How do I confirm if they are paying on my behalf? I just spent an hour on the phone with Turbotax and then when the agent connected. It hung up... I owe quite a bit and don't want to pay twice to be sure...

You can - but you won't be able to make changes to the state until the federal is accepted.   Once your federal is accepted, you can click on Add a State to unlock the returns, make your changes and then go through the file steps for state again.   

I am having this same error with my MN e-file attempt. My federal and MN property tax e-files worked. The review process returns no errors. I don't know what the "tax situation" is and how I am supposed to fix it.

Sorry, I was not clear enough before.  I (the mother of the dependent) need to amend the return because the child is not marked as a dependent.  My tax return was rejected because the child did not mark herself as a dependent and it looks like I am trying to file a non-dependent on my tax return.  In the app, the amend return does not appear.  Is there a delay in being able to amend the return?  The federal says it has been accepted.

Yes, it could make a difference if you did not also enter the overtime manually after the W-2 input and you qualified for the deduction.     The directions for reporting overtime if it's not on your W-2, is to enter the W-2 and continue through the screens until you reach Let's check for other situations. Check the box for Overtime and select Continue. Enter the total of your qualified overtime. TurboTax will calculate your deduction.   If you missed labeling it as overtime on Box 14 and did not report it on the Let's check for other situations screen, you can amend your return.   Here is how to amend a return to update for the overtime, from How do I amend my federal tax return for a prior year?:   "In TurboTax Online: 1. On the Tax Home screen, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and select 2025. 2. Select the Amend (change) return dropdown, then Amend using TurboTax Online. If you're told to amend your return via TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps for TurboTax Desktop instead. 3. Continue through the screens, make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return."

Your pension calculates it and pays it. The entire amount is RMD.   If you need extra time, filing an extension by April 15, 2026, moves your submission deadline to October 15.  See if you need to file a state extension Any taxes owed are still due in full by the original April 15 date.  Pay through either Direct Pay or your individual online account. To set up a payment plan, see Find details on payment plan types  

As long as only one of you claims the house on your returns, you should be fine, regardless if your showing a refund or not.   For unmarried individuals who own a home together, you may allocate the deduction between you cannot each deduct the full amount of interest or taxes on your return.   For individuals who are married, but filing separate returns, please also be mindful that if one of you is itemizing the other must as well even if it results in fewer deductions than the standard deduction.
