It depends.  You will need to wait until your return is accepted or rejected.

 

If it is rejected,  you can get back into your return, and add the 1099-Misc. This will be entered into the Self Employment income and expenses section if it relates to work you do.  Or under Common or Less Common income, if it is for something else.

 

To get back into your return:  

 

If you have already gone through the entire Filing process and want to efile instead, you will need to log off, and log back into your Turbo Tax Account, then follow these steps:

 

  1. Select Tax Home on the left menu.
  2. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
  3. Select 2019, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you into the right area).
  4. Go to the appropriate section to add your 1099, as indicated above.

 

If it is accepted and is missing your 1099: you can amend the return and re-file it.  It will need to be printed and mailed as IRS does not accept e-filed amended returns.

 

To Amend your return in Turbo Tax Online follow these steps:

 

1.  Sign in to your Turbo Tax Account

2.  Scroll down to  Your tax returns and documents and select Amend (change) 2019 return, then Amend using Turbo Tax Online.

3.  Select the reason you are amending and Continue

4.  Answer the questions about your Federal return, then begin amending your State return when it says "Lets get started on your state taxes...."

 

To Amend your return in Turbo Tax Desktop;

 

1.  Open your tax file you need to amend and select Online and Check for Updates.  

2.  Go to the Federal Taxes tab (or the Personal Tab, if you are using Home & Business) and select the Other Tax Situations Tab.

3.  Scroll down to Other Tax Forms and Select Start next to Amend a return.

4.  Answer the appropriate questions for the State and Federal Returns.  

 

Here is a great article that goes into more detail regarding the steps.

 

 

It does take up to 12-16 weeks for more for Amended returns to be processed.
