Tax Year Prior to 2020: Made a mistake on taxes

[Zoom23]

I put the wrong social security number, off by one digit, but didn't realize it until after I had submitted the return.  Please help!  Thanks.

[VictorW9]

Now, if you filed using the wrong social security number, the IRS will almost definitely going to reject your return. So, you will need to wait for the rejection and then go back into TurboTax and make the change so you can refile.

How can I get back in to return after being rejected for wrong employer I'd to change it

[VictorW9]

Log in as you normally would and make the correction. You don't need to amend your return. If the correction has to do with your W2 EIN, then follow the instructions below. 

It maybe the EIN number that is on your W-2, but that does not mean it is what the IRS has in their data base. Your employer or their payroll service could have made an error in their entry.  Please review all of the information below.

This type of rejection occurs when the Employer Identification Number (EIN) differs from what the IRS has in its database.  To correct this:

Open your return in TurboTax.

1. In the search box type: W-2, 
2. click on Jump to W-2,
3. On the W-2 summary screen, click Edit next to the W-2 on the return,
4. Make sure the EIN in Box b exactly matches what's on your W-2 form. If not, make the correction,
5. Make sure the info in the Employer's Name and Address fields match your paper W-2.  If not, make the correction.

I have not filed one of the state tax (WV).  I need to correct something on this form.  I had chosen to print and mail but would like to get back in and change that.  Please tell me how

[ColeenD3]

Please try this method from AndreaC.

If you have not yet e-filed or mailed the return, you can go back in and make changes before filing. 

You can get back into your return using the steps here below:

• Log into your TurboTax account and click My TurboTax at the top
• You should be on the Tax Timeline now
• Scroll down to SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO section
• Click Add a state (not really adding one, just a way to get back into return) 
• And make the changes you need to

Thanks for the help--

FYI--the state and the fed returns were both returned to me as unacceptable within a couple.  I made the change and a couple more hours later I received emails saying that both had been accepted!

I need to add some one on there

If you have filed your tax return and then discover that you have to add an individual, someone, you will have to wait until the IRS either accepts or rejects your tax return.   

If the return is rejected you will correct the error that caused the rejection, add the individual and refile your return.   

If the return was accepted by the IRS then you will have to file an amended tax return using Form 1040X to add an individual to your tax return. 

This link to the TurboTax Help page  How to amend (change or correct) a return you already filed provides information on how to amend your tax return.
