Question

I forgot to include my 1098t on my taxes. It’s only for $276 so I’m wondering if this is worth amending my taxes for or if it most likely won’t even increase my refund?

If you had other education expenses (books etc) it may well be worth at least taking a look. You can always hit cancel amend if you choose not to file it.

 

To Amend in TurboTax:

 

  • Sign in to TurboTax.
  • Scroll down to Your tax return & documents (you may need to select Show),
  • If you only see the option to amend 2018 or earlier, it's because you can't amend an unfiled 2019 return. Instead, just select Pick up where you left off, make your changes, and disregard the rest of these instructions.
  • Select Amend using TurboTax Online.
  • Carefully follow the instructions. Don't worry if your refund changes to $0. This is normal on amended returns.
  • When finished, we'll give you instructions for printing and mailing your amended return as amendments can't be e-filed.

Three weeks after mailing your amended return, you can start tracking it at the IRS Where's My Amended Return? tracking tool.  Please allow at least 16 weeks for the IRS to process your amended return.

Processing times for amended state returns vary from state to state. If it's been more than 12 weeks since you mailed your amended state return, and you haven't heard anything, we suggest you contact your state tax agency.
