The Georgia Information Worksheet states that my first name is wrong. What should I do?

I have tried changing the spelling, clearing the cache, using different computers, different browsers. I don't know what else to do.

Try these solutions in order to force the software to reset the name field:

  • Re-enter in "My Info" (Federal): Go back to the My Info tab on the left. Click Edit next to your name. Completely delete your first name, then manually type it back in. Ensure there are no extra spaces before or after the name and no punctuation (like a period after a middle initial).
  • Delete the Georgia State Return: This is often the most effective fix for "ghost" errors on state worksheets.
    1. Go to State Taxes on the left menu.
    2. Click the trash can icon or "Delete" next to the Georgia return.
    3. Once deleted, go back into the Georgia state section to add it again. This forces the software to re-import your federal data from scratch.

Unfortunately there’s not an option to delete the Georgia taxes. I was going to restart all of taxes, but I’ve already paid for them so it won’t allow me to do that.
