You didn't provide much info so we have to guess a bit. Does this mean you already submitted your 2024 return by efiling it? If so, you can't retrieve it to make any changes. If that's the case, you do NOT file a second return. You would have to wait to see if the IRS accepts or rejects the return when they open for processing on January 27 to know what to do.

If that's what happened, then if the IRS accepts the efiled return, then the only way to change anything would be with an amended return. If the IRS rejects the efiled return, then you can make any changes in it and resubmit.

OK can you wait to e file my taxes because I have more W_2s that I need to file and another child that I thought I add to my taxes.

You're asking your question to the user community forum; this is not TurboTax Support. Are you the same person as edmarmina97? If so, the display name is different so that's confusing. Or maybe you are a different person that has added on to his thread?

In any case, have you already actually efiled the return or not? If you haven't actually submitted/efiled your return, you can come back to your Online TurboTax later and continue the interview and add the additional W-2's and child before you actually efile the return. You are the only that can actually submit/efile the return.

Or did you mistakenly and prematurely actually submit your return by efile? i.e., did you go all the way to the end and clicked on a big orange button "Transmit Returns Now?" If you clicked on that button, that submits the return, and there is no way to get that back. You can't retrieve it, and the folks at TurboTax Support can't retrieve it.

If you did already click on "Transmit Returns Now" and have efiled the return, then you have to wait to see what happens when the IRS starts processing efiled returns on January 27. If the IRS accepts that efiled return, then the only way to change/correct anything would be with an amended return. But if the IRS rejects the efiled return, then you can make any changes in it and resubmit. So if you have indeed actually efiled an incorrect return, you should hope that it gets rejected, since that's the easiest scenario to fix.

I filed my taxes on Jan 28th.. still haven’t received my return, it just says it’s been received. I got a letter from the IRS saying to verify identity and I did. Should I wait or I was wondering if I can file again?

No. Do not try to file again. The IRS already has your tax return, you just need to wait for them to finish processing the tax return you filed.

Even if you tried to e-file again, the return would be rejected by the IRS since they already have a tax return with your name and Social Security number.
