@KASSIAANN If you e-filed the extension request, the Form 4868 will be included in the PDF download.   See this for printing the Form 4868 - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-my-4868-extension-form-after-e-filing-it-through-turbotax-easy-extension/01/26520?search-action-id=620929384873&search-result-uid=26520

Even though you Amended your son's return to indicate he was a dependent, Amended returns can take up to 12 weeks to process.  In order to Efile your own tax return claiming him as your dependent, you need to get an IP PIN from the IRS and enter it into your return.  Otherwise, you can print and mail your return.    @hariis 

This is not clear: "no w2 taxes were withheld" Please clarify. Do you mean: You did not get a W-2, but taxes were withheld? You did get a W-2, but the W-2 shows no taxes withheld? You did not get a W-2 and no taxes were withheld?  

Unfortunately, once you have upgraded or added features to your TurboTax return, there is no way to downgrade or remove the extra features. You would need to create a new return to go back to the original product.    To start a new return, select “Start a New Return” from under “My Returns” in the bottom left corner. Once you have started your new return, you can select “View All Returns” from under “My Returns”. Then delete the unwanted return by clicking the small Trash Can next to it or “Delete” under the return’s name.  

This is not uncommon at this busy time of year.  Does your return show as Pending? This means the IRS has not picked it up, and has not started to process it. You can check Where’s my State's Refund.   Scroll down to the Map Select your state Find the Refund section in the State Department of Revenue   

@MaryK4 Hi - Thanks for the suggestion. I've gone back through the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion section again. The US address for both taxpayer and spouse showed as "None" - I deleted that and submitted with blank fields but am still unable to e-file.

If the business treated you like an employee (e.g., they told you exactly when to show up, provided all tools, and supervised you closely) but paid you as a contractor to save money, they may have misclassified you, especially if you had been employed by them. However, for a single paycheck, it is usually easiest to just report it on Schedule C and move on.   To enter your 1099-NEC in TurboTax, do the following:   Select Wages & Income from the panel on the left Click on the Add more income box and the “Add more income” screen will appear Scroll down to the Self-Employment (Schedule C: 1099-NEC,1099-K, expenses) category and click the down arrow to expand Select Add, then Start to the right of Self-Employment income and expenses The next screen will ask, Did you have any self-employment income or expenses? Select Yes  Enter a description for receiving Form 1099-NEC (e.g. Consulting), press Continue In the We need a little more info section, choose the best description, “None of these apply”, then press Continue Next, you can select any (or all) of the boxes, indicating whether “It’s a main source of income”, or “It’s something else”, then press Continue Input when you started the work that led to your having received Form 1099-NEC, then press Continue Answer the next series of questions, pressing Continue to advance to the next question Once you are finished, you will reach the summary page where you can review each section and make changes by clicking Edit found under each section Scroll down and click on the Looks good box at the bottom right of the screen You will now see, Let’s enter the income…, select Form 1099-NEC and Continue Enter the information from your 1099-NEC here, then press Continue  You will be asked if you have more self-employed income for this specific entity, select No Next, select Yes when asked, Did you have any expenses…? (For example, mileage to and from the workplace) Select, Type in my expenses The system will generate a list of recommended expense categories Press the Get started button, then scroll down to the search box and input, “misc”, which will cause the Other miscellaneous expenses box to appear Check the box and press Continue On the following screen, click the pencil to the right of the Other miscellaneous expenses Enter a description, (e.g. conference fees) and the amount, then press Continue Note that you may deduct certain expenses (e.g., conference fees) to reduce your taxable income.

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted? You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".   After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.   What does the TurboTax email indicate?

Here's how I fixed the problem. I went to forms mode and found the form I was last working on. I had entered $1 as overrime pay as a placeholder waiting for the actual number, which it used to calculate a 0.33 deduction. So I changed the deductioble overtime amount to the real number, it recalculated taxes and everything was OK. So I recommend going to forms mode, that will probably fix it. Otherwise change something and you could always change it back.
