Can't go throufh step 3 eventhough I already made the Turbotax payment.

Can I consider my taxes done?

What happens if I don't go through step 3?

Step 3 is what submits and files your return and must be completed. What error are you seeing when you try to file?

It's asking for a code from last year's taxes which I don't have access at the moment.

It says that it can't be sent electronically because of this and that it can't be mailed because I'm paying with a credit card.

Enter the 2018 AGI and you do not need the 5 digit self-selected PIN.

The 2018 AGI is on the 2018 Federal tax return you filed Form 1040 Line 7

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947

To access your current or prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show. Click on the Year and Click on View adjusted gross income (AGI)

Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

If your tax return continues to be rejected with the 2018 AGI then enter a 0 (zero) for the AGI and e-file again.

If this is also rejected then you will have to print and mail the tax return.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for printing a tax return for mailing - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online...

I haven't done my taxes on turbotax before

Would that code still be available?

Did you electronically file a 2018 tax return? Do you have a copy of the 2018 tax return?

If you did not file a 2018 tax return then you can enter any 5 digit code for your PIN and enter a 0 for the 2018 AGI.
