How do I e-file my taxes for 2020

Do you mean the 2019 tax return we are currently doing on 2020?  We don't file 2020 until the year is over.  

 

How to Efile

After you enter all your income and info, you go through the Review tab.  Then you go all the way through the File tab, through the 3 steps and hit the big orange Transmit Returns Now button.

 

You will need to enter your 2018 AGI to efile 2019.  If you didn't file a 2018 return or filed late in the year you enter 0 for the AGI.  If you are married and filed Joint last year you enter the same AGI for each of you.

 

When you efile you get back 2 emails.  The first email only confirms the transmission.  The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.

After ALL of your information has been entered into the software program you must go through the FILE section step by step--read each screen carefully and indicate how you want to receive your refund.  You e-file by clicking a big orange button that says "transmit my returns now."  Your return is not e-filed until you click that button.

 

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.
