Want to change filing status

You may go back through the personal info questionnaire again. Depending on your responses to these questions TurboTax will determine your filing status. To start this process again please follow these steps:

1)    Sign into TurboTax Online

2)    Continue your return by click Taxes Tax Timeline > Take me to my return

3)    Go to Personal Info > Personal Info Summary > and click Edit to the right of marital status.

4)    Continue through the interview. Questions will lead to filing status. 

If you have already filed and your return is either:

  • Rejected: You can click the Fix Now button to get back into your return to make the change above and then file your return again. 
  • Accepted: You will need to amend your return to make the changes necessary. Please see the FAQ article below for instructions. Please make sure you save a copy of your original return first by clicking on the .tax2016 data file and Download/Print Return in the Some other things you can do section on the TurboTax Timeline. https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3288565
