[Bob412]

I completed the taxes on TurboTax but it keeping rejected. I know I have to fill out a  form 1040X but when I when to the page I have no idea how to fill it. I want to know where or can TurboTax help me fill out 1040X.

If your tax return has never been filed because the efile was rejected, you do not prepare an amended return form 1040X. All you need to do is print and mail your original return form 1040 to the IRS. If you have already started an amended return, you need to cancel that operation and go back and make sure your original return is correct: https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2552802-how-do-i-cancel-or-undo-an-amended-return-in-turbotax-onli...

What was the reason for the efile rejection? If it was because the 2018 AGI you entered didn't match the IRS records, you should try efiling again with the number 0 entered in place of the AGI.

If you just can't make efile work, go to the File section and in step 1 choose the print and mail option. When you print the return, TurboTax will print a filing instruction sheet that you can use for what to include and where to mail the return.

Hi, Thanks for the information. The reason that I have to do 1040X was I didn't put the W-2 and scholarship money on there. The original return I only have my college's information and my college help me submit it.

I try to use Turbo Tax to do 1040X, but it guides me to do the return again. This time I put my college money, scholarship, and W-2 on there. In the end, its application wants me to submit the return as an email, so I did, but it got rejected. The reason that Turbo Tax showing was, "It looks like you've already e-filed your 2019 tax return. The IRS has the info they need to qualify you for a stimulus payment. Note that you can't update your payment info here—the IRS will either send payment to your bank account or mail you a check."

You don't need to amend a return that has never been filed and accepted.. Make the changes to your original return putting the W-2 and scholarship on your return without doing an amended return and print and mail the revised original return.
