Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I changed my first name legally, and it is not on my tax form, but I need my tax info to apply for gov. benefits. Do I have to wait for the change to go through?

You would need to contact the agency you are applying for benefits with to find out what they require.  It may be possible that you could show proof of name change along with your old name on your tax forms.
