Hi Bellaf81,

If your initial tax returns were prepared by TurboTax Full Service Experts then having a TurboTax Full Service Tax Expert prepare amended returns to address any errors and omissions is a viable option, however, if your original returns were not prepared by TurboTax's Full Service Experts then 2019 and 2020 amendments would be out of scope for the Full Service Experts. Another option may be to visit a local accountant or tax preparer, in your area, to have them prepare and submit any needed corrections/amendments.

Hope that helps & good luck getting this taken care of.

Hello I’m trying to get a copy of my sons tax that I filed for him for 2019. He had it but it’s lost and he still hasn’t gotten his refund. How do I go about getting a copy for him?

Thank you

Hi 20805Joyce,

If a transcript will help, please see the info below:

You can get a copy for the current tax year and as far back as six years from the IRS.

It takes approximately 75 days to process a request for a copy of a filed tax return and the fee per copy is $50.
However, if all you need is a tax transcript, you get one from the IRS for free. A tax
transcript summarizes return information and includes adjusted gross income (AGI). In
most cases, a transcript has all the tax information you need.

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/oc-transcriptorcopyofreturn.pdf

You can get various Form 1040-series transcript types online or by mail.

Request Online What You Need

To register and use this service, you need:

your SSN, date of birth, filing status and mailing address from latest tax return,

It keeps telling me to input my AGI but it won’t let me do it so it keeps rejecting my taxes

See this TurboTax support FAQ for correcting the 2019 AGI when using the online editions - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/where-do-i-correct-my-agi-in-turbotax-online/01/26311

The 2019 AGI is shown on your 2019 federal tax return, Form 1040 Line 8b

If you are entering the correct 2019 AGI and the IRS continues to reject the 2020 tax return then enter a 0 (zero) for the 2019 AGI and e-file the 2020 tax return again.

Hi Granny11311,

You might consider electronically re-filing your 2020 tax returns first because you can use the IRS Special Instructions to Validate Your 2020 Electronic Tax Return which are:

If your 2019 tax return has not yet been processed, enter $0 (zero dollars) for your prior year adjusted gross income (AGI). For more info see the IRS instructions at:

https://www.irs.gov/individuals/electronic-filing-pin-request

To refile your 2019 tax returns, electronically, you'll need the AGI from your 2018 tax returns and you can find the 2018 AGI on Line 7 on Form 1040 (on tax year 2018 form) For more info, see the article at:

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/irs-tax-return/how-to-find-your-adju[product key removed]e-agi-to-e-file-your-tax-return/L2BNspAbm

Hope that helps,

Ron

@rgreenfield11 Your advice to another user to e-file a 2019 return is incorrect. E-filing for 2019 returns has been closed permanently since October 15, 2020. Only some professional paid preparers have the ability to e-file a 2019 return. The only way for a TurboTax user to file a 2019 return is by mail. Only a 2020 return can be e-filed now---until October 15, 2021. After that, e-filing for 2020 returns will shut down and 2020 returns will have to be filed by mail.
