File taxes

This is a tough one to answer because I have to assume....you are a sole proprietor and will report your income and expenses on your 1040, Schedule C.  You will go to Wages and Income and then find self employment income.  (if you have a partnership or S/C corp, then you would need to use our Business tax software to create a K1 and that K1 would be added to your 1040 in Wages and Income, find Partnerships, Corps and Trusts).

Assuming your are Self employed, here are some of my favorite links:

Self employment tax  Talks about social security and Medicare taxes

Self employment tax hub with calculator  Helps to answer questions and figure out if you need to pay estimated taxes

Self Employment income and expenses  Talks about income and expenses.

If you were supposed to claim the dependent, then I would add that child to your return and then you will want to Paperfile the return.

You will not be able to Efile the return.  Sign, date and mail it to the IRS and your state via certified mail.

You also might want to call the IRS to ask more about this.  Have your dependent with you incase they need to verify the dependent.

Here are the numbers that are best to call and assistance with the prompts.

1-800-829-7650

or 1-800-829-1040

Once you've set your language

Press 1 for forms, tax history or payments

Next press 3 for all other questions

Next press 2 for all other questions

enter SSN

After it asks twice, you will be prompted with another menu

Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions

Finally press 3 for all other inquires

I sure hope this has helped.

If you reply back, I will try to keep an eye open to assist further.

Please give me a thumbs up if this was helpful.

Hello @4sonyia to file your tax using one Intuit product please please check Turbotax Home & Business 2023 for Window or Mac. Here's the product details:

I would need some more information on your issues regarding the new business and dependents. Yes you can file with Turbotax. For issues of identity theft, you will need to contact the IRS by phone or on their website  at https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/taxpayer-guide-to-identity-theft.

Your tax return could be rejected by the IRS if someone else has already filed. Please contact the IRS for further guidance and direction.

If someone already used your dependent's SSN on a tax return then  you will not be able to e-file this year.   You will have to file by mail.   Print, sign and date your return in ink, and mail it.  The IRS will sort out the duplicate use of the dependent's SSN.

If you have a business---are you a sole proprietor?-- then you will need to use online Self-Employed or any version of the CD/download so that you can enter your business expenses on a Schedule C.  You will be paying self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare, as well as ordinary income tax.  If you also have income from a W-2 job, that is fine, and you can also enter that income --- it all goes on the same Form 1040.
