Uhoh----did you use the current online program for the 2018 return you say that you filed "this year?"  If you did that you made a big mistake.  The online program is ONLY for a 2019 return--no other year.  Did you e-file it--was it accepted?  If so, when it has been fully processed you will have to amend it to delete the 2018 income you entered and then put in your 2019 income.

 

What is the e-file status of the 2018 return you say you filed?
