    Wait until the original return is processed.

     

    • Be sure that the tax return is accepted (not rejected)
    • Wait for the initial return to be processed.
    • Once processed you can prepare an amended tax return.

    Wait for the original return to be completely processed.

    Here are steps to amend a current tax return.

     

    TurboTax Online

    1. On the Tax Home screen, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and select the year you want to amend.
    2. Select the Amend (change) return dropdown, 
    3. Then Amend using TurboTax Online
    4. If you're told to amend your return via TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps for TurboTax Desktop instead.
    5. Continue through the screens,
    6. Make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return.

    How do I amend my federal tax return for a prior year?
