I submitted my tax return and printed it out with my first numbers on it. Submitted it to the govt., etc. AFTER it was submitted, I go back to do Indiana taxes, and THEN it went to $39. My question is, since I already submitted it with the original numbers ($6,600/$280) will they not take those?

I think the advice you quoted is best.

I wouldnt even bother doing state taxes on turbotax. Just go to the Indiana tax site and you should be able to do it for free on there. I know that is what I lways have done for Ohio. Do federal free on turbo, then go to OHio's site to do for free. I do school tax by hand myself and same with town tax.

LOL. I'm not looking for advice. It's done submitted. I'll just wait and see which is put in my direct deposit.

I'm not going through the state website to input all deductions, etc. TurboTax is easy, I do it once, and it compiles it.

The IRS will tell you if it's wrong.

I misunderstood what you meant when you said it went to 39. I thought ya meant it went from being free to charging you 39 for it after you logged back in.

I usually do the free version of it for years and years, but this year I bought a house and wanted to try and maximize the deductions so I paid a little bit for it...I was a little bit surprised they added on another fee at the end.

Both ways? Tell me if I'm due more? I can see them telling me if I don't get as much, but I can't see them telling me, "hey, here's some more money, since you fucked up."

Eventually....

and even if it isn't a big deal, or easily fixable, it's really not a road you want to go down, trust me

But there was advice given and I think you should take it. :p

Seriously though, I'd call TT and ask them rather than just waiting it out.

I have a printed tax return (submitted to the IRS) that states I get $280ish. I'll go with it!

dude.....turbo tax doesnt make sure the numbers you enter are correct. U can put any numbers in there and turbo tax will figure it out. Just because they make the calculations doesnt mean the amounts you put in are the correct amounts.

If ETB did not knowingly falsify his taxes, they'll just adjust them and that will be all. Now, if he knowingly submitted a falsified return, that = butt secks in prison.

True but proving "willfully" is pretty tough to do and besides lets be honest here ETB is hardly someone the IRS wants to waste their time on.

It's in. My numbers were off, but it's:

Fed: $6,607
OH: $293
SD: $113

I had to mail Indiana's in, and did that yesterday.
