Hello! I need to amend a return that was filed in but when I do it online, it does not show that I am getting a refund. What do I need to do?

The return was prepared and mailed in with my son listed as a dependent even though we did not have an SSN. So when the IRS processed the original return, they did not give us the whole amount that was listed on the return. Now, we have SSN but when I attempt to amend online, it shows no refund (other than the stimulus).

TurboTax has no way of knowing that you mailed in a return with no SSN and that the dependent was denied.

Mail your amendment with the SSN and a letter explaining what happened and let the IRS sort it out.

Hold on----when did your child get the SSN? Was his SSN issued after you filed your tax return?
