How do I amend my 2023 fed return if I did not e-file?I had issues with e-file before April 15, 2024. So I mailed it in, which was mis-scanned. Now I have to fix it.

You can amend---but you need to wait until the original return has been fully processed by the IRS. Then amend by using Form 1040X in order to make changes to incorrect or incomplete information that was on your original return. Not sure what you mean by "mis-scanned." Please explain.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-a...

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.

You can watch for information here:

Mis-scanned: IRS took my interest income and made that my ordinary income, instead of what I actually filed, which is lower. This inflated my adjusted gross income, and the amount I owe.

My question is whether I can use TurboTax to amend my 2023 tax, which was not e-filed.

If you used TT to prepare your return, you can use TT to amend your return. Your amended return will have to be filed by mail, since you did not e-file the original return.
