Where are you seeing this in the program? 

Which version of TurboTax are you using?

You must be using the Canadian version of TurboTax. This site is for the US version of the program. You can request help for that by using this link:

I talked to three agents yesterday. First one cut me off. Second one didn't know how to do this so turned me over to agent three. She couldn't help either. This is a very simple question and I don't understand why I can't get an answer.

You will find that entry at the bottom of the Personal Info section on the first page. You may need to edit every section until it appears.

I have tried updating my personal information several times and there is no option to change it back to English. Can someone help? I cannot read Spanish but need to get them done

From the Spanish language experience, you are able to switch to English by choosing the Cambiar a inglés option in the left navigation menu.

That is not an option. I have Cuenta de intuit or Cerrar sesion

I have attached a screenshot and circled in red the option to change your language back to English.  If you don't see this option, you will need assistance from our phone support team.  To speak with a TurboTax Expert, refer to the instructions in the following Help Article:  How do I contact TurboTax?  @Dkrutsinger2000

Also, if it's already in Spanish, please view the screenshot posted above by DaraLO and see if that helps you to get it changed. If not, please respond back here and let us know.

Did the post above from DaraLo (including image) help you? This is how we change the session from Spanish back to English.

How can I change the TurboTax language from English to French to complete 1 return.

I would need to change it back to English afterwards.

Thanks

In a previous year, I somehow identified my language preference as French. I'm soon completing my 2024 return and don't want to make an error...where do I identify my language of preference?

Are you asking about what language TurboTax is in, or what language the IRS will communicate with you in?

 

The answers above address the TurboTax language. If you want to change the language that the IRS communicates with you in, go back to Personal Info and edit the information about yourself. On a screen "Do any of these apply to [name]?", look closely, because there should be a check box for "Would like to change the language used by the IRS..."
