Good Tuesday Morning! It's a cloudy 60° on the way to 69° with rain later today. I'm off to the range today.
Taxing TurboTax/e-filing drama.I uploaded my taxes last night using TurboTax, but only after they were rejected twice by the Feds. The state automatically rejects them if the Feds reject. We file married filing jointly so there is only one Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), but our file was rejected because the Spouse's AGI did not match the entry for last year.
After some investigation, apparently the IRS only checks this for electronically filed taxes. I put in the correct number and they were rejected again.
Then I went through a bunch of hoops getting a ID.me account with the IRS to download a transcript of our 2020 taxes from the IRS, to validate the same number I had already entered.
In my research I found similar rejections that were fixed by entering a zero, but the advice from TurboTax was to resubmit and if that did not work, send the IRS a paper copy, never mind having already paid to electronically file. I entered a zero and the Feds accepted the filing and after that I sent in the state filing and it too was accepted.
So if I suddenly disappear, you'll know why.
