Don’t wait to file. File today with TurboTax, and be first in line for your tax refund! Although the IRS has not yet begun accepting e-filed tax returns, TurboTax securely holds your completed taxes, and transmits them to the IRS and the state when they open for e-file. Whether you want to do your taxes yourself, get help along the way, or just fully hand over your taxes to a tax expert, TurboTax is ready to help you get your biggest refund. For millions of Americans, the tax refund, averaging over $3,000, represents the largest paycheck of the year. Getting fast access to those funds can be indispensable. According to a generational tax survey conducted on behalf of TurboTax by Talker Research, 93% of Gen Z expects to get a refund this year and they plan to use their refund to pay for necessities. In fact, access to faster refunds would mean they are able to avoid debt fees (20%), pay rent on time (35%), and pay off debt (35%). Combined with e-file, direct deposit is the fastest way to get your tax refund. Overall, the IRS anticipates nine out of 10 taxpayers will receive their refund within 21 days or less when they file electronically with direct deposit if there are no issues with their tax return.

Can i remove my filling from turbo tax and go somewhere else even though i already paid. Reply If he hasn’t filed in 6 years, you won’t be able to file online for him. You will need to submit each of the years hard copy including this year. Once they have been processed, you should be able to file online the following year.

Not everyone’s tax situation is the same so processing times may be different according to your tax situation http://blog.turbotax.intuit.com/2014/01/31/wheres-my-tax-refund/ Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply Hi lisa. I understand everyone is different but at the sametime I had no problem over the years filing early but of course I didn’t use turbo tax none of those times either. I don’t understand y this year would be different except the fact that I used turbo. Lisa, I filed my taxes early in Jan because TT said they were ready. Now my taxes were flagged for early submittal and has to be reviewed for identify theft. You should warn customers not to file early! This is extremely misleading first in first out. The IRS said do not file early again!! TT just wanted to lock in my business. Now I have to wait another 6-8 weeks! Thanks a lot!!! My tax return has been in the pending status far longer than it should. My state was rejected because it said my federal was rejected, however I’ve not hearid any reply from my federal return.

i filled thru turbo tax, my husband and i got married at the begining of last year and he hasnt filed taxes in over 6 years, we tried to do the e filing but it rejected us. I have tried to get ahold of turbo tax many times to resolve this and no answer ever, i have put my name on the call back list and never get called back. Can i remove my filling from turbo tax and go somewhere else even though i already paid. Reply
If he hasn’t filed in 6 years, you won’t be able to file online for him. You will need to submit each of the years hard copy including this year. Once they have been processed, you should be able to file online the following year. Reply
I keep receiving a “come back in late January to file” message and it is Feb 5. Will this ever work!? Kind of disappointing considering how easy this app worked last year. Reply
I filed the 27th of January and got notice my taxes were accepted early but will not begin processing till the 31st. I’m still waiting for my return. Reply

Hi Shonette, Please see our new post on IRS refund processing times. Not everyone’s tax situation is the same so processing times may be different according to your tax situation http://blog.turbotax.intuit.com/2014/01/31/wheres-my-tax-refund/ Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
Hi lisa. I understand everyone is different but at the sametime I had no problem over the years filing early but of course I didn’t use turbo tax none of those times either. I don’t understand y this year would be different except the fact that I used turbo.
Lisa, I filed my taxes early in Jan because TT said they were ready. Now my taxes were flagged for early submittal and has to be reviewed for identify theft. You should warn customers not to file early! This is extremely misleading first in first out. The IRS said do not file early again!! TT just wanted to lock in my business. Now I have to wait another 6-8 weeks! Thanks a lot!!!
My tax return has been in the pending status far longer than it should. My state was rejected because it said my federal was rejected, however I’ve not hearid any reply from my federal return. Reply
My return was accepted by the irs on January 31st and then today Feb 2 i go to check my return and it now says it’s locked will that delay my return Reply

Hi, I’m sorry you are having problems. Your social security number used on your tax return has to match what is on file with the social security administration, which is what the IRS uses. If your name and social security number don’t match those records it will be rejected. Here are steps you can take to file your rejected tax return https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901497-tax-returns-that-can-t-be-e-filed Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
Lisa, the system rejected my return stating my pin is incorrect, but it is the pin I received from the IRS auto number
yes you can I have mines deposited to my moms one year my bro’s another and the last couple of years to my girls and we aren’t married and me and my mom don’t have the same last name nor does my brother. You can do it to bank account just not those pre-paid debit cards those have to be in your name to get your tax return other than that any actual bank account can be used
I forgot to put a dash and a number for my refund to go into my checkings account. I contacted my bank and asked if my money will still deposited and they said it wont go into my checkings it would go into my savings account. But I marked checkings account on my taxes. Will it be rejected? Or will my refund still go through to my savings account even though I put checkings.. my account number and routing number were correct, just missed a number for the checkings so it goes to my savings….

My state got approved right away but the federal haven’t been accepted. I filed on Jan 31 is there a problem or is the IRS just behind? Reply

The app still will not let me file. Says for me to come back in late January. If it doesn’t let me file by tomorrow, I will use another app that will allow me to file. Reply
Hi, Sorry you are still having problems. I will check into the message you are seeing. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply

Hi Marshall, Returns get rejected by IRS for different reasons – and because the IRS opened yesterday, lots of customers are getting notices to make updates to their returns and resubmit. If you don’t yet see the option to fix your reject in your account, please wait two hours and check back. We’re working to sync up our systems and it takes a bit of time for all the information to populate and sync up. We appreciate your patience! Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply

Hi, I got an email saying that states were rejected and when I go to fix it, T.T say’s it’s still pending. Was it rejected? Do I have to wait a bit to fix it? If it was rejected, how do I change/fix the problem. Every time I click to amend, it say’s pending. Reply
Hi Brittany, You should see a fix it button. Do not click on amend. If you don’t see the fix it button check back in two hours and see if the fix it button is there. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply

hello. i filed with h&r block. they have not submitted my return can i submit it with turbotax before they process? r when they submit will there be an issue?
Hi, You will not be able to resubmit your return unless it is rejected by the IRS. If you try and resubmit before rejection or acceptance it will come up as someone filing a duplicate tax return with the same social security number. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis
Hi Kou, Sorry your tax return was rejected. The good news it can be fixed and resubmitted. You should receive the rejection code which will tell you why it was rejected. Please see IRS Common Rejection Error Codes for information on why tax returns may be rejected http://www.irs.gov/uac/Common-Error-Reject-Codes-%28ERCs%29-for-Individual-Tax-Returns-&-Suggested-Solutions Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
I have been rejected on another tax website but I always use turbo tax every year and I resubmitted my tax information on turbo tax on 1/31/14 now its still pending did that have a reason why its taking so long.
