Hello! I am reaching out regarding a TurboTax e-filing fee that is being charged on my account. I selected option to mail it, so I would like the amount refunded.

My email is xxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx
Although I do prefer e-file, there were errors with processing and TurboTax wouldn't let me continue with ease. Since I have selected to send by mail, are there options to e-file if I would change my mind?

With the Online version, there is no charge to e-file.  The charge is for the return.  You can go back through the file section and select E-File.

 

How do I change from mail to e-file in TurboTax Online

If you printed your taxes to mail them in and went all the way through the File section, when you sign in to TurboTax Online you'll see the Way to go! You filed your 2022 taxes and you won't see a way to change to e-filing. As long as you haven't already mailed your 2022 paper return, you can switch to the e-filing method (through April 18, 2023). However, some states now require e-filing, which means the federal and state must be e-filed together.

 

If you already mailed your return, don't e-file. This can cause problems with the government, including refund delays.

 

  1. In TurboTax Online, sign in to your account
  2. Select Tax Home in the left menu
  3. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents
  4. Select 2022, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you into the right area)
  5. Select File in the left menu (expand your browser window if you don't see this, or select the menu icon in the top left corner)
  6. On the Just one more step screen, follow steps 1 and 2 if you haven't already
  7. Select the Start button to the right of step 3
  8. On the Let's get ready to e-file screen, select I want to e-file
  9. Follow the instructions to e-file your return

@bluedeb Hi! What should I do when it says: "Check This Entry: Form 1099-B Worksheet: Amount from Form 1099-K has an amount from linked Form(s) 1099-K, but the sales proceeds on this worksheet don't match the payment amount from Form 1099-K. Add sale(s) on this worksheet with sales proceeds to match the amount reported on Form 1099-K. When entering sales, am a little confused on how to determine purchase date for every item I have sold since I truly don't know! Can I leave this blank? 

 

I have received a 1099-K from both Paypal and Depop, but the amounts aren't matching up. I wonder if I must list the same sales for both forms when the payments come from the same source. I don't know what to do ..

@holtm70  I am not familiar with the 1099 forms you have. I can page another Champ that may be able to help you.

 

@Anonymous_ can you help with the 1099-K?

@bluedeb Any extra help appreciated! Depop is a sales app similar to Ebay, Etsy, Poshmark, etc. I get paid through Paypal which is why I get the extra 1099 from them. But it gets confusing having to input both 1099s because they are from the same sales.

On the Sch C you need to enter both 1099 forms as income then  negate the duplicate income as an expense so you don't pay taxes on the same money twice.

I think @Critter-3 has the solution here.
