If your return is rejected by the IRS, you can correct the problem and fix the reason for rejection and re-efile your return. If your return is accepted by the IRS, you must prepare, print, sign and mail an amended tax return form 1040X to correct the problem. The 1040X will be available later in February.

 

DO NOT change your original tax return until you start the amended return. If you have already changed it from the way it was originally filed and accepted, you must change it back before you start the amended return. Wait until you receive the refund from your original return before beginning your amended return to make sure you enter the correct amount. Here is an FAQ to help you:

You will need to wait to see if your tax return has been accepted or rejected by the IRS.

 

If rejected, simply log back into your  return, and enter your W-2.

 

If your return is accepted, you will need to amend your return using Form 1040-X (not available until about mid-February).

 

Form 1040X can't be e-filed per IRS regulations.

After you finish amending in TurboTax, we'll guide you through printing and mailing your 1040X along with any required attachments.

 

\Three weeks after mailing your amendment, you can start tracking it at Where's My Amended Return? on IRS.gov.
