Hi Bill,
There is no delay for people filing schedule A. This blog states that it is for 2010 tax returns. You can file your tax return. This blog relates to late tax legislation in 2010.
Thank you,
Lisa Greene-Lewis

But for the people that do use a Sch A, why weren’t we notified of the delay prior to filing?

Hi Heather,
No you do not have to wait. That was for 2010 tax year due to late legislation. You are fine.
Thank you!

Hi Tiffany,
Good news! You do not have to wait this year. TurboTax is now accepting tax returns. Last year you had to wait due to late legislation from Congress.
Thank you,

Sadly I decided to use the desktop version of Turbotax this year since last year I had problems with the online version importing brokerage information. Now I can not transmit the efile from the desktop (with the superpatch update)and I have tried on two different computers, networks, and web browsers. I googled until my fingers bled and I still can’t find any solutions. Can I get my Federal return uploaded from my desktop TurboTax version to the online turbotax website and without paying a second time?

If this gets solved quickly and smoothly I may use Turbo again. Painful taxes made even more painful thanks TURBO! Doing your taxes is easy. Getting turbo tax to work is not.

This is for Lisa. She wrote “I efiled my return and it was rejected because it said my birthdate doesn’t match with social security records. I have efiled every year for years and never had this problem. Is this a new verification that the IRS is checking or is it possible my social security information has been changed?” Lisa, this happened to my 28 year son last year. Even though he had been e-filing for a few years. Apparently, starting last year, the IRS was double checking with Social Security to verify SSN, name and birth date. It looks like when we (me) first applied for my son’s SSN when he was about 9 years old, I put his mother’s birthdate down instead of his (they were both born in September), and we never knew that Social Security had his birth date wrong until last year when his tax return was rejected for a birth date mismatch. My son had to go to the SS office and show a birth certificate and ID to get it changed. It took about 2 months to do. He was unable to efile until this was changed. Hope this helps.

I thought I was not going to be affected by this tax law change. I claim HOH, EIC, and Form 8863 for the Education Credits (American Opportunity and Lifetime Learning Credits. The IRS accepted my return and I was suppose to get my refund on Feb 4th. One week later and still no refund. I am hoping that I get my return next Friday. I filed on the 26th of Jan!!!!

I efiled and was accepted on feb. 3rd and was expected to recive a return by the 11th. Now the irs says my refund will not be there until 22nd because of processing delays? I am married filing joint with 4 kids and had only standard deductions so i dont understand why im being delayed?

Upon completing my Federal Taxes and moving onto State Taxes, I was prompted with this message: “Based on the information you have entered in TurboTax, it does not appear that you need to file state income taxes. If you believe you need to file state taxes select the Download State button to add a state to TurboTax.” When I attempted to download my state, no states showed up in the pop-up, scroll-dowm window.

Could this conflict be related to itemize deductions?

Question: We filed mid January with turbo tax. Ours was accepted by the IRS and says we should expect our refund today, 2/4/11 however it is not in our bank account and there is no ‘delay message’. Can you tell me what’s going on?

Hi Angie,

Your return will only be delayed if you claimed the deduction on your return.

Vanguard says you will give discounts to their customers. How does that work.

How am I supposed to file electronically if I have to attach tax withholding forms to my return?

The IRS sit is the initials followed by the “gov” extension since it is a government site. If you go to com, net or any other extension, you are not at the IRS site. Obviously, you probably shouldn’t provide any personal information at such sites if you are really trying to get it to the IRS.

I efiled my return and it was rejected because it said my birthdate doesn’t match with social security records. I have efiled every year for years and never had this problem. Is this a new verification that the IRS is checking or is it possible my social security information has been changed?
