Question

How can I do an amend on turbotax? I filed my first W-2 early and by the time I got my second one, my refund was already processing. What can I do?

How am I able to do an amend if I keep getting told the form 1040X isn't ready for processing. I was told to wait until the 25th of March to do it so I waited and now it says to wait until tomorrow. I need to get it done as soon as possible.

An amended return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 16 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

See this TurboTax support FAQ on amending a tax return originally completed and filed using the 2020 TurboTax editions - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/amending/help/how-do-i-amend-my-return/01/27439

The IRS Form 1040-X for amending a 2020 tax return is scheduled to be available on 03/26/2021 (subject to change)
