I need help E-Filing my taxes

Where are you having a problem with e-filing the tax return?

See this TurboTax support FAQ for e-filing problems - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/e-file/help/e-filing-problems/01/26104

 

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".

 

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

An e-file rejection just means that some things on your return don't match the IRS database.

 

If you're looking to fix a stimulus reject code, go here. If you're looking to amend (change) your return, go here.

 

If you received an ACTION NEEDED! email from turbotax@intuit.com, it'll give you a brief explanation of your reject and how to update it. You can also sign in to your TurboTax account and select Fix my return to see your reject code and explanation.

 

Follow any “fix it” instructions to update the information causing the rejection, and continue through to refile your return (either e-file or file by mail).

 

Note: Not all rejections will have explicit guides to fixing the information.   If you aren't guided to your solution, search for the item causing your rejection and go to that section (you might also be able to find your rejection in the below list of the 10 most “popular” IRS rejects).    Make the change and select File in the left-hand menu. Follow the onscreen instructions to either e-file your return or file by mail.

You can check and see if your federal return has been filed, by checking your e-file status using the link provided below:

@Lesking1973 Even if you e-filed, your return is simply in "pending"  for now.

 

MY RETURN IS IN PENDING—what does that mean?

 

Did you e-file?  Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”  If so, your return is now in “pending” on a server.  Do not try to change anything while your return is in pending.

 

The IRS will not be accepting/rejecting 2020 returns until Friday, February 12, 2021.  You need to watch your emails for the acceptance/rejection notice that may take until the end of the month to arrive in your inbox.  And watch your spam folder too.

 

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

 

A state return cannot be accepted until the federal return has been accepted.
