If you haven't actually filed at all, you can open the return interview back up, make any changes if needed, and when ready, file the return.    When you log in, does TurboTax think you were finished, so your return interview is closed?  If so, the steps below tell you how to open it back up to edit your return.

 

  • Log into your account, and at the Tax Home or in the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents" for 2021, look for a link "Add a State."
  • Click on "Add a State."  (That doesn't really add one; that's just to open the return.)
  • Once the return is open, if needed you can make any changes in your return you need to, since it has not been filed.
  • When finished making your changes, go through the REVIEW section to be sure everything is in order.
  • Then go to the FILE section,  choose your filing method, and continue answering the screens there.
  • If efiling (recommended), be sure to go all the way to the final screen and click a big orange button "Transmit Returns Now."
