Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my return now?” If you did that, you cannot do anything to fix it yet. You have to wait for the email that tells you if your return was accepted or rejected.

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it. It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner. The IRS does not allow you to take it back.

If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.” The changes will go nowhere.

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return. If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.

If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund. THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally. You will need to use a form called a 1040X.

Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself. Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

The Form 1040X you might need becomes available in late February, But wait until your return has been processed.

Just one added FYI, once your return has been accepted and you received a refund by the IRS (if you filed it), you can amend your return by going to:

To amend your return using Turbo Tax Online.

Log into Turbo Tax
Select Scroll down Your tax returns & documents in your landing page.
Select Amend (change) 2023 return.
Once you are in your return, you can go to federal>deductions and credits.
Your home>Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098).

You may amend this as soon as your return has been accepted by the IRS and received your refund, if you have already submitted the original return.. The amendment form is available now and you do not need to wait until you have received your refund.
