Was told by a turbo tax employee I needed to update my 2023 taxes (not amend)

Please explain what "updating" your 2023 return means to you----what are you trying to do? Do you mean update the desktop software?

I just got off the phone with a turbo tax rep. She said my federal taxes was rejected because a 1095 A was not uploaded. She said I need to update it and not to amend it. But I am not seeing that option I am on desktop- not the app

Oh----if it was rejected, it was never filed in the first place. So no, you do not click on anything that says "amend" for a rejected return. You just need to open up that return on your desktop program and enter the 1095A that you forgot to enter last year.

To enter your 1095A go to Federal>Deductions and Credits> Medical>Affordable Care Act (Form 1095A)

But...you will not be able to e-file. E-filing is permanently closed for 2023. You have to print, sign and date it in ink, and mail the return.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
