If you have already filed your tax return, you will need to wait until it's either Rejected or Accepted. If it gets Accepted, you can then Amend your return and correct your name.

 

If it gets rejected or if you have yet to file, you can follow the steps below to fix your name:

 

  • Log into your return and click orange Take me to my return button
  • Click Personal Info tab and then Edit next to the name of dependent and correct the spelling of his name.

My first name was spelled wrong I want to correct

My taxes were rejected due to a misspelled last name. If I edit my taxes in turbotax, do I then resubmit them and do I have to pay to resubmit them? 

 

My first name was spelled wrong I want to correct

No you don't need to pay again.  Just resubmit it as before by going through the File tab.  To get back into your return Click on Add a State.  Do not click on Amend!

No, there is no payment required to re-file a rejected tax return.  Just correct your last name and e-file the tax return again.
