I need to modify my 2023 return - it was accepted about two weeks ago but I have not received my refund.  Do I need to wait until I receive the refund or will Turbo Tax let me modify it now?

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been submitted, 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 amending. 
  • 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

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.
