Tax Year Prior to 2020: How do I speak to a real person at Turbo Tax , need a number

Have you tried either deleting the line items or leaving the fields blank?  


If you do not have any amounts to enter for the current year, you can select the trash can to the right of the input to delete it from your 2020 tax return.  

 

This may clear up the error and allow you to file.

 

Follow the steps below to get to the input screen in the federal interview section of the program.

  1. Select Income & Expenses 
  2. Select Self-employment income and expense
  3.  Under the screen titled Your 2020 self-employed work summary, select Edit to the right of your business
  4. The next screen will say Here's your business name info. 
  5. Scroll down to the expenses and select the trash can to the right of the applicable expenses that have a zero value this year to remove them from your return.

Sometimes for reasons unknown to TurboTax the IRS can decide to mail you a check instead of making a direct deposit.   The IRS does not tell TurboTax anything when they change something.

Tax Year Prior to 2020: How do I speak to a real person at Turbo Tax , need a number

@GSackenger No one at TurboTax can tell  you when you will receive your refund.   And no one can call you from the user forum.   Only the IRS can tell you when you will receive your money.

 

 

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/personalfinance/where-is-my-damn-irs-tax-refund-new-answers-emerge-a...

 

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.   Many refunds are taking longer during the pandemic.  The IRS is backlogged —-they are still trying to process millions of 2019 returns; they received millions of e-filed on the day they opened for 2020 returns, and now they are burdened with sending out another round of stimulus checks.   

 

 

Some delays are resulting from incorrect amounts that folks entered for stimulus checks they received.   Many people have been confused by the recovery rebate credit and completed it incorrectly.  The IRS may delay your refund while they cross-check to see what you received.  Some refunds are delayed because of the tax law changes that went into effect recently.   If your return has unemployment or the premium tax credit on it, that may be delaying it.

 

 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted: 

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

 

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 34of your 2020 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

From this IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-operations-during-covid-19-mission-critical-functions-continue

 

As of May 15, 2021, we had 300,000 individual tax returns received prior to 2021 in the processing pipeline. Including current year returns, as of May 15, 2021, we had 16.4 million unprocessed individual returns in the pipeline. Unprocessed returns include those requiring correction to the Recovery Rebate Credit amount or validation of 2019 income used to figure the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC). This work does not require us to correspond with taxpayers but does require special handling by an IRS employee so, in these instances, it is taking the IRS more than 21 days to issue any related refund. If, as a result, a correction is made to any RRC, EITC or ACTC claimed on the return, the IRS will send taxpayers an explanation. Taxpayers are encouraged to continue to check Where’s My Refund? for their personalized refund status and can review Tax Season Refund Frequently Asked Questions.

@Jaked007  What happens when you try to e-file?   Are you getting an error message?   Is it rejecting?   Or do you mean you do not understand how to e-file?   Please give us some specifics so we know how to help.
