Is there any way to edit my return now?

Submitting the return for filing is just like dropping it into a mailbox - you can not get it back or change it.

Once you submit  and find that you need to make a change, you will have to wait until the IRS either accepts or rejects the return. If the return is rejected by the IRS, then you can make the necessary changes and resubmit it. If the return is accepted, then the only way to change it is to prepare an amended return and file it by mail.

I will never use turbo tax again they for everything but your ippin number

It should prompt you to key in your ip pin if you used one the year before.

Again, another example of why I don't recommend TurboTax.

Now I also have to wait for the rejected return because I missed it this year thinking it was going to ask me for it.

The TurboTax Script DOES ask for the IP PIN, in the section with a bunch of other 'Uncommon' items. The software CANNOT guess that you have ANY particular need and I believe it is for a safety precaution for those who have an IP PIN that TurboTax DOES NOT save it from previous years and alert you to use that PIN. You are supposed to know and remember that and look for the spot to put the info.

 

Sorry you had a bad experience, but there are things that cannot and will not be ABLE to be done FOR you.
