Hello, I was filling taxes with RT TAX but did not provide them with bank acc because they tried to scam me but now I cannot get taxes using turbotax error IND-452

[danielbranis]

So I was doing my taxes using RT TAX and they asked me for bank acc while my friend told me he got way more money using turbotax then me while I made more money. So I tried turbotax and I got 65% more money but RT TAX already submited all the papers and now I am getting code IND-452 because RT TAX already did the taxes, but I dont want to get 65% less of money plus I paid turbotax fees already as well. What can I do to get my money through turbotax and not RT TAX (SCAMMERS??)? Thank you

Sorry--you cannot file twice.   Any attempt you make to e-file again will be rejected. The IRS will not accept another return using your SSN.   If you think the other software or other tax preparer made a mistake then you can amend that return after it has been fully processed.

CAN I USE TURBOTAX TO AMEND IF THE RETURN WAS PREPARED SOMEWHERE ELSE?

If you did not use TurboTax to prepare your tax return, it is possible to amend the return using TurboTax but it will really be a pain.  It would be better to use the software or service used to file originally.  If a paid preparer made a mistake on your tax return, that tax preparer should do the amended return for you at no charge.

In order to use TurboTax to amend your return, you need to purchase the desktop software for the tax year and re-create the return EXACTLY as it appeared when it was filed with the IRS/states.  Every line has to be the same.  Then you have to "trick" the software into thinking you filed by saying you will mail the return. (but do not mail it)   AFTER that, you use the software to prepare a Form 1040X, which has to be printed, signed and mailed to the IRS.  It takes the IRS about 6 -9 months to process an amended return

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.

Thank you so much for the answer. Well these scammers RT TAX also needs around 10-12 months to sent the money... I am desperate loosing 65% of the taxes is a big hit for me. I texted them that this is not right to scam people and I am willing to get a lawyer to go against them. Unfortunatelly I already also paid for turbotax fees.

No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”
