If you are getting a message that your electronic filing signature does not match the personal information entered on your federal return first make sure your name, Social Security Number. or Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) matches IRS records exactly. Try deleting them and re-entering them to make sure there are no hidden spaces.

If you have an Identity Protection PIN from the IRS, make sure it matches the 6-digit number on your IRS Notice CP01A.
Sometimes simply signing out and signing back into your TurboTax account can clear this.
