I need to amend my return and remove a dependent.

A lot of people need to amend for something else rather than unemployment. But because they have "unemployment compensation" within their return, TurboTax and the IRS are making them wait as well. What if new calculations make people eligible for the stimulus check and because we are not allowed to amend, we miss out on that?

I recommend waiting to ensure you don't have to file another amended return after amending. The IRS is issuing guidance based upon all of the latest changes but as taxes can be complex, there are many layers that are affected. Therefore, even if you were to amend your return now and mail it in, there is a high likelihood that you will need to amend again since the IRS has not issued official guidance on the remaining forms affected.

You will not miss out on the latest stimulus payments. If once everything has been updated, you determine you were eligible for the third stimulus payment, the IRS will either issue you the payment based upon your amended return or you will be able to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2021 income tax return.

Thank you

My tax return rejected by IRS, because someone else has already filed for me with incomplete information about me. Unable to withdraw it and can be amended with IRS form 1040-X. "R0000-194 - Submission must not be a duplicate of a previously accepted submission."

how should i do amend my return?

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.

You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
