Your Tax ID is your social security number. However, if you are referring to your Federal ID number, that is the same number as your EIN (Employer Identification Number). You can obtain a copy of this by contacting your employer and asking them for a copy of it. However, there is an additional option to you have. In the TurboTax software when it asks for your EIN/Federal ID number, you can leave that "blank" or enter "0" and you should still successfully be able to file your taxes. I know this may sound strange, but when the IRS receives your return, they will be able to verify your EIN since they are the individuals that handle your actual return.

You should be able to edit your federal extension payment by following the steps listed out below:
To enter a payment made with an extension request -
Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Deductions and Credits
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
On Other Income Taxes, click on the start or update button
On the next screen, select the type of extension payment made and
click on the start or update button. Be sure to indicate Federal.
Even though you have already made your payment, going back through this process should enable you to "edit" any information that you wish to change. I hope this helps! If not, please feel free to comment back and I will do everything in my power to further assist you!

Yes, by all means you can still file your retunr by mail and have it go through successfully. In fact, if a person doesn't remember their AGI or cannot obtain it, the way to get around that is to mail your return in. Paper mailed returns do not require your AGI.

Good news, there are several options as to how you can obtain/submit old state taxes. First and foremost, any old state taxes have to be mailed into the individuals' State Department of Revenue. The contact information can be found in the link provided below: https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901670-how-do-i-contact-my-state-department-of-revenue Once you have located your state, find their mailing address, and follow the steps provided below: Step 1: Gather your tax documents- you will need the W-2s or 1099 forms you received for those tax years to report your income. If they don't have that information, continue to step 2 ? Step 2: Request Missing Documentation- If you are missing any of
your tax documents from the last 10 years, you can request a copy from
the IRS by filing Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return. Use
this form only to request W-2s, 1099s and even 1098s that may provide
support for some of your deductions. Step 3: Download Prior Years IRS tax forms- You must always file your
back tax returns on the original forms for each tax year you are filing.
You can always search through the IRS website for the forms, but for
quicker access, you should use sophisticated tax preparation software,
such as TurboTax. Step 4: Prepare your back tax returns- You cannot complete prior
year tax forms using instructions from the current tax year. When you
have all your documents in front of you and you are ready to start
inputting your data, double check to make sure that the instructions you
are using are for the same tax year as the tax return you are
preparing. Tax laws change every year, so you must follow the guidelines for the Tax Year you are trying to file. Step 5: Submit your forms- Submit the forms to the IRS
at the address listed in the Form 1040 instructions. If you owe
additional income tax for any of the prior years, remember to include as
large of a payment as you can to reduce your interest charges. Monthly interest still accrues indefinitely until the tax is paid. Once
the IRS receives your tax returns, you should expect to receive notice
of the exact penalty and interest charges you are responsible for. In Conclusion: Once you have gathered this information, mail all the documents into the State Department of Revenue for the individuals state. BE ADVISED- this could take up to 45 days to process, however it is most accurate way of making sure old state taxes are filed correctly and you get any/all refunds you are entitled to.
If more information is needed, all of these instructions were found in the link below: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/IRS-Tax-Return/How-Do-I-File-Back-Tax-Returns-/INF14505.html

Not to worry. There is a workaround for this specific issue. Please see the information provided below: A Control Number (Box D) is used by many payroll
departments to uniquely identify a W-2 in their system. If your W-2
doesn't have one, it's no big deal – you can simply leave it blank.
If you get errors when attempting to e-file with an
empty Box D, just enter any number in this format: 5 digits, space, 5
digits (for example, 12345 67890). The IRS doesn't care what's in Box D
because its use by payroll departments is optional.
On the other hand, if you're trying to import your W-2 with a blank Box D, click skip import and then manually enter your W-2. You won't be able to import using the 5 digit + space + 5 digit solution for e-filing.
I hope this helps. Best of luck!

The PIN number that you are referring to stands for your Personal Identification Number. It is often times referred to as your IP PIN-which stand for Identity Protection Personal Identification Number. The PIN is a 6-digit number that you come up with yourself. Essentially it serves the same purpose as your AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) for the IRS. It is a way they can securely look you up, validate you are who you say you are, and look at previous Tax Return information that only they have access to (TurboTax has no access to that information). Below I have attached a FAQ link that has more information as to what your PIN is: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3388576 Going off that, you may not need a PIN, however you might need one as well. It depends on your personal tax situation. If you do need a PIN number, I have attached a hyperlink that will take you directly to the IRS's website where you can apply for a PIN number and set one up. That link is found here: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/electronic-filing-pin-request I hope this information provided some clarity for you. Best of luck moving forward!

Not to worry! If you got one W-2 for the year, then only that particular W-2 was reported to
the IRS. Just enter the data that is on your W-2 and don't worry about
the companies "name change." All the IRS will care about is that what you report
matches what they received. They will recognize the employer's name change on their end, and you will still receive the full amount of your return you are entitled to. I hope this information provided you with some clarity and brought you some peace of mind. If you have additional questions and/or concerns, please do not hesitate to comment back and I will do everything in my power to further assist you. I wish you the best of luck moving forward!

The IRS no longer uses the e-filing PIN (as of 2016); therefore, use last
year's AGI (adjusted gross income) to verify your identity (for
e-filing).
All TurboTax Online customers who
filed last year (including Federal Free Edition customers)
can view prior years Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) directly from
Timeline (seen when you first sign in to TurboTax Online).
Your Prior Year AGI is needed to e-file your
return.
To view your prior year AGI (you must use the same account
used last year -
username and password)
1. Sign In to
your prior year TTO account (if your using a different account from last year,
your AGI will not transfer)
2.
Go to
the prior year section of "My Tax Timeline"
3.
Click "View
adjusted gross income (AGI)" (see image below).
OR
You can obtain a copy of last year's tax
transcript online using IRS link:
