Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I put in all the information and followed all the prompts under wages & income but it still says needs review. What am I missing?

It did say that some transactions from my bank are pending. Is that what is holding me back?

No, pending bank transaction are probably not causing the "needs review" prompt.

 

If there are any zeros ("0") in your form(s), you may need to delete them all in the program (the software counts zero's as content so this could cause this issue).
 

Perhaps you may need to clear your cache and cookies..

 

Clear your cache

 

Your browser stores recently visited webpages as temporary files in a cache, which enables the pages to load more quickly when revisited.

 

However, a full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax, so sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files).

 

Here are the official instructions for the most popular browsers:

Google Chrome

Mozilla Firefox

Microsoft Edge

 

Apple's official support site doesn't appear to contain instructions for clearing the cache in Safari. Your best bet is to search the Internet for clear Safari cache or similar search terms.

 

Clear your Cookies

 

Cookies are small files that temporarily store data on your computer. We use them to personalize your experience so you see information you already entered and not items that are irrelevant or repetitive.

 

On rare occasions, they may make your browser think you already did something that you still need to do. To fix that, you'll need to delete (clear) the cookies from your browser.

 

Each browser has a slightly different method for deleting cookies. Choose the browser you're using:

I suggest you run Review.  This will identify the issues that TurboTax is questioning.

 

Log into TurboTax

  1. On the left sidebar
  2. Under Federal
  3. Select Federal Review.

Answer each question as it comes up.
