Your tax return was “just filed” or accepted, but you went back to it and “amended” by adding or changing something?

That is not how to amend your return. If you changed anything on your “just-filed” or already accepted return, and then “e-filed” the changes, those changes went nowhere.

When you amend a return you need to be working from the return as it was originally, so restore those “changes” you made to the way your return was before you tried to “fix” it.

The way to amend your tax return is to wait for it to be fully processed and you have received your refund. Then you can use a form called the 1040X to prepare an amended tax return to add a W-2, your student loan interest, a 1099R, or whatever else you originally forgot to include. (or to change a dependent’s status, etc.)

A 1040X cannot be e-filed. It must be printed and mailed. It will take about 2-4 months for the IRS to process an amended return.

I mailed in my taxes. A week later or so i got on turbotax and i was fiddling around and i accidentally clicked the amend button. (I did not want to amend) so when i did that, it allowed me to reprint my tax return(mind you, i did not make any changes). I did not because i was not trying to amend anything. Am i ok as long as i don't mail in the amended one? to my knowledge this wont even be accepted because amended returns need a form 1040x to be official?
