I filed my 2023 taxes on time & correctly but my preparer checked NO instead of YES for digital asset transactions. Do I need to file a 1040-X? Can I file on TurboTax?

I filed the 2023 year with a tax preparer and not on turbotax. Can I file a 1040x on turbotax if I didn't file with turbotax in 2023?

    Ideally you should go back to who did it and they should amend it for free if it was their error.  To amend a return you did somewhere else or you don't have the original.tax file,  you would first have to fill out Turbo Tax like you are doing the original return and pay for it.  You have to recreate the actual wrong original return.  Then when it matches each line that you really filed you have to tell Turbo Tax you will mail it so it thinks it was filed.  Then you can amend it.

     

    To amend a prior year return you have to buy the Desktop program here.  They only sell the last 3 years.

    You will have to print and mail the amended return.  You can only efile it from the same account the original was Accepted.
