I have been sent a revised 1099 from Teacher's Retirement System showing the taxable amount to be $699.02 more. I've already submitted my return. What should I do?

TRS will only be submitting the revised 1099 to the IRS.

It is extremely common to omit reporting a Corrected Form 1099-R. You file before they arrive, they get lost in the mail, get lost in your house or get tossed along with junk mail.

Since the IRS requires you to report  all your income, you should amend your return, but only after the original return has been completely processed (refund received or payment accepted). If you prepared your original return in TurboTax Deluxe, you should be able to amend it with Deluxe.

If you don't file an amended return to report the Corrected 1099-R, the IRS will probably send you an automated Notice of Proposed Increase in Taxes later this year. 

They will calculate the tax due (plus interest and penalties) and you can send them a check (no amended return necessary). 

(For the amount involved, the interest and penalties would not be particularly large).
