My school is stating that I amended my 2021 tax return and the IRS website shows an amendment processed on 1/13/23. How do I access the 1040-X?

If you really amended your 2021 return, then the 1040X is in your online account. Unless you saved a pdf of the original return, the original was replaced by the amended return.

You have to access your own account and/or print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them. Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax? If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURN !

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records. That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

NOTE: TurboTax and the IRS save return for seven years. Returns older than seven years are purged.

The IRS website shows a 2021 amendment completed on 1/13/23 (I never did this). But whenever I log in on turbotax and the IRS site and download all my 2021 tax forms there is no 1040-X anywhere.
