IRS says I owe money from 2018. This is incorrect. Can I refile taxes for 2018? I do not want my tax return for 2019 to be kept by the IRS.

You can always file an amended tax return for 2018.  However, you need to know why you owe taxes for 2018.  The letter you received from the IRS will explain why.  Depending on the reason you may or may not be able to avoid the extra tax.  Without knowing the reason for the additional tax it is not possible to provide a definite answer to your question.  Post more detailed information to this thread for help with your issue.

TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or your state after your return was filed, so no one at TurboTax knows about a letter you received from the IRS or the state.

(what the letters from the IRS mean)

@rs10newton   Did he get a W2 or 1099Misc from Emergency Medicine Consultants?  How did he report the income?  On what line on your tax return?  If he got a 1099Misc that is self employment income and he needs to fill out a schedule C for it and pay self employment tax on it.  Self Employment is the same as owning your own business.  You are in business for yourself.  The people that pay you are your clients or customers.

Self Employment tax (Scheduled SE) is automatically generated if a person has $400 or more of net profit from self-employment. You pay 15.3% SE tax on 92.35% of your Net Profit greater than $400. The 15.3% self employed SE Tax is to pay both the employer part and employee part of Social Security and Medicare. So you get social security credit for it when you retire.
