Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I had to print my return so I could tell TurboTax what to put on the form for reporting foreign interest. It timed out and now will not let me file electronically. How.

It timed out when I was looking something up.  When I signed back in, it said I already filed and will not let me do anything but file an amendment. How can I get TurboTax to let me file electronically?  It is saying I already filed and I haven't.

Does it think you printed or mailed it?  If you haven't efiled or mailed your return or it rejected you can go back in and change anything you want.  Do not click on Amend!

 

Click on Add a State to let you back into your return.

From Tax Home (the first screen you see after you sign in), scroll down to Your tax returns & documents. You may have to select Show to open the drop down.

 

Select 2020, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this is just the workaround).

 

Then when you are ready to file you can try to switch to efile.
