Tax Year Prior to 2020: Made a mistake on taxes

[Adriennetp85]

I filed for a recovery rebate on a stimulus check that was owed and forgot to file on my house cleaning job and child dependent I've already gotten the money owed. So I'm not sure that I filed another return and then amended it accidentally. What do I do please help

[DanielV01]

If you filed an original return and it was accepted, the only way to correct it is by filing an amended return.  If you filed a $0 return to claim the RRC, for example, you would need to file an amended return to claim the income and dependent that you did not originally claim.  The amended return will refund the difference (or you may owe some money back).

So if you did file an amended return this sounds correct.

Okay so I have to mail that also.. and I didn't make much or any w2 so I think I put that in the wrong form. I don't make enough to use a form or do i

How can I see if I done more than one file 

[LinaJ2020]

You can only file one tax return per person.  To check your e filing status, click here:   TurboTax and IRS

To check status on your amended return, click here:  Amended

I said we didn't get our first stimulus payment but we did. How do I correct my return?

[DanaB27]

The IRS will make the adjustment automatically. Please see IRS Recovery Rebate Credit Q D2 What happens if I claim the incorrect amount? for additional information

I filed online and tax return was rejected.. can i re-file online ?

@tahreg

You received an email that we cannot see that tells you why your tax return was rejected.  

Some rejected returns can be fixed and re-filed.  Some have “un-fixable” reasons for the rejection and have to be mailed instead. What is the rejection code or rejection message? 

 If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2019 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2019 AGI might not be in the IRS system.   Try using zero instead.

If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

Or—-if you filed as a “non-filer” just to get the stimulus check on a 2019 return, try using $1 as the AGI.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

@have1ledog If you have not already filed, you can correct errors made in TurboTax by going to where you entered  the item and select Edit next to it to correct it.

Turbotax did NOT transfer input to form1040 correctly.  during checking it said I had errors and took me to form 1040 which I didn't understand why but attempted to input info and realized th info was wrong.  how can I get turbotax to input the correct information?

[GeorgeM777]

We need you to clarify the type of information that is producing an error.  For example, does it have something to do with your W-2 entries?  If so, you can return to the Income & Expenses section of TurboTax (on-line version), and either edit or review your existing W-2 entries, or if you need to enter a W-2, then scroll down to the Wages and Salaries category and select Start and begin to enter your W-2 information. 

Follow-up with additional information about the nature of the errors you are seeing.
