I filed my federal tax through credit karma but at the end, after submitting my federal return I noticed that they don't file state taxes. I got my return and tried to file my state taxes through Tubo Tax but it had me file both federal and state taxes. I only wanted to file my state taxes. Can I cancel the federal tax submission so that only my state taxes get filed. or am I going to get in trouble for accidentally filing my taxes twice. Can I call someone to fix this?
No, you will not be fined. In all likelihood, if the return you e-filed through the other service was accepted, the return you filed with TurboTax will be rejected. Wait until you learn whether or not your e-filed TurboTax return is rejected or accepted. If the return is rejected, you can go ahead and prepare to file the state return, but it will need to be paper filed by mail since TurboTax is not designed to e-file the state return on its own.
The following TurboTax return gives instructions for printing and filing your return by mail. https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3401713
Hi I filed twice my tax and I got email from turbo tax say accepted and the other one I file though CPA was filed too ,can advice me what is the best way to fix it? Thank you for your help
The IRS will sort it out. In all liklihood since the TurboTax return was accepted, the 2nd return will be rejected. If the second return is the correct version you may need to amend the accepted return. Explain the issue to your CPA to help determine the need to file as an amendment.
I had someone file my taxes and I filed on TurboTax because of an error on the first return. The TurboTax return is the correct one and it was
accepted. So will my TurboTax return go through and my first one rejected or how does this work
The first one that is accepted by the IRS will go through unless there is an error that causes the return to be rejected. You said that the TurboTax return was accepted. The IRS is processing some returns today earlier than the initial February 12th date that was given. If your return TurboTax return was accepted by the IRS, the other one will be rejected because of a duplicate social security number.
Same thing happened to me. Turbo Tax said it was only filing the STATE TAX but when I submitted both the Federal and State Tax were e-filed. I didn't want to e-file the Federal because I had to get a ITIN renewal and I mailed in in through Snail Mail. Way to go Turbo Tax. You need to fix that.
Turbo Tax will give you to option to select what return you want to be e-filed. It's possible both were checked off, as Turbo Tax can't see or adjust anyone's return.
On the first time you submit yes. I has already submitted and selected the mail option. This was the State filing. and it was only for the STATE taxes which I selected to e-file. It was NOT for the Federal but Turbo Tax filed both instead of just the Tax. So, what are you talking about?
To confirm, are you stating that you didn't select to e-file the Federal and only the state and the software e-filed both?
Did you confirm checking your e-filing status here?

I already snail mailed the Federal. State could not be filed yet because it needed a non resident form. Turbo emailed me and said go ahead and file your STATE Tax. So, i completed the STATE Tax, selected the e-file option...it did not prompt you as to whether you were filing the State or the Federal or both. It just prompts you as to whether or not you want to e-file and since Turbo emailed me to complete and file the STATE Tax, and I completed the STATE Tax, I assumed it was just for the STATE Tax. I had already mailed the Federal. So no, Turbo Buddy, does not allow you to select, in my case, which Taxes you are wanting to e-file.
Now the problem may be, that the Federal will be rejected due to a expired Spouse ITIN number which I filed via snail mail with all the forms attached. That is why I chose to file the Federal that way and not the e-file method.
The same thing happened to me. I deselected the Federal return, but it filed it anyway. If my turbotax federal return is rejected, will it not process my state return?

No.. State cannot be e-filed until the federal is filed and accepted. That is so the IRS can run it's security checks for ID theft first that the state cannot do.
To everyone.....
You can not efile state unless the federal was first efiled and accepted. If you mail federal you have to mail state.
You can not efile state if you are mailing federal or before efiling federal. See,
So I have already filed my federal return using another service online that was accepted, and was just using turbotax to file my state return. Seeing how my (duplicate) federal return from TurboTax will be rejected, should I just use another service or mail my state return?
If this is true then turbotax/intuit should make this clear before process started because it seems like y'all have just wasted a bunch of my time.
If someone receives an advance from a tax specialist without submitting the return, then files on their own via credit karma or turbo tax (etc) what will happen ?? And is the loan money received taken out of the accepted refund amount ?
If you receive an advance from one tax specialist and do not continue to file your return to the IRS with that firm or it gets rejected and you do not complete the return it has not been filed with the IRS, If you then file with another tax firm, the refund will likely be sent to you and you will owe the lender for the advance. You must read the agreement you signed in relationship to the advance you received.
I filed outside of TurboTax . The entity who filed my return did not provide the maximum refund . Am I able to amend through turbo tax to add deductions and missing information ?
Yes, you can amend your tax return using TurboTax if your original return was down elsewhere.
However, you will have to recreate the original return exactly as it was filed as part of this process. You would first have to fill out a new return in TurboTax like you were doing it for the first time and hopefully come out with the same results as your original filed return. Then when it exactly matches what you filed and the amounts are the same for every line on 1040 tell TurboTax you want to file by mail and print out the original return so TurboTax thinks it was filed, then you can do the amended return.
Since the original return was already processed by the IRS you can complete a Form 1040X. The finalized form and instructions are expected to be available from the IRS by February 23, 2023.
