I tried to amend my tax return to add a W-2 I forgot about from an orientation thing I had, it wouldn’t let me go back once I accidentally selected I pay for childcare!

There's no rush so you can relax and make sure the amendment is correct before sending.

Do not change your tax return until you read all the instructions. For you, this means to remove or delete any entries before amending the tax return using the instructions.

TurboTax needs to know the original numbers and the corrected numbers to provide the correct end results before you prepare it.

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.

You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
