The prior answer was during tax season when phone support was open 7 days a week.

I need yall to fix my taxes from 2022 to 2020

Sorry no one can fix them but you. What was wrong? If they were filed you need to amend them to fix them. How to amend

@Shanda6363 TurboTax provides software for do-it-yourself tax returns. No one else has access to your tax returns or to your account. If you made any mistakes on your tax returns, you are the only one who can access those tax forms and make the changes by amending the tax returns yourself. TurboTax cannot/will not do that for you. Provide some details about what you think was wrong on the tax returns so we can be more helpful as to what you need to do in order to amend.

Once you have e-filed the tax return the account cannot be cleared or started over.

You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 6 months or longer to process an amended tax return.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

What type of payment? TurboTax account fees? Federal taxes owed? Federal estimated taxes paid? Federal extension payment? State taxes owed?

My Turbo Tax line has moved all the way across today so I'm trying to see how much longer will it take for my refund to come

Re: What are the hours one can get live help from TurboTax?

@kimb5648 That line means nothing except that twenty-one days has elapsed. TurboTax never knows when or even if your refund is issued. Your only information must come from the IRS.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

To track your state refund:

https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901548-why-do-some-refunds-take-longer-than-others

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions

https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2840013-does-accepted-mean-my-refund-is-approved

https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2724106-my-return-is-accepted-but-still-not-approved-is-there-a-problem-should-i-be-worried

OR——if you filed by mail, expect a long wait. It is taking the very backlogged IRS six to nine months to process mailed returns. Until a human opens your envelope and enters the data into the system, nothing will even show up on the refund site, so you will have to be very patient.

On my tax refund status the bar has moved all the way across completely green so I'm just wondering how much longer would it take for my refund to come after this stage

Re: What are the hours one can get live help from TurboTax?

Filed as if I had a w2 but I'm self employed how do I change it and what form to use?

Re: What are the hours one can get live help from TurboTax?

KristinaK — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 18:47:49 GMT

You will have to amend your tax return. Please see the information on how to amend here.

After removing the incorrect W-2, report your self-employment income on Schedule C. Here is information on how to do that.

And here are some helpful links about self-employment.

Can I deduct health insurance premiums if I am self-employed?
