    If you are certain that everything was entered correctly, please see the TurboTax FAQ below for reason your refund may be less than expected: 

    Why did my refund go down compared to last year's?

    No, you would not be able to make any changes after filing but you can do an amendment. If the return was already filed, you will need to wait until it has been processed and you have received your refund or confirmation that any tax due was paid. (If you file an amended return while your first return is being processed, it can cause extended delays for both returns)

    Amended returns can only be mailed. It is suggested that it be mailed certified with return receipt (or other tracking service) to verify that the IRS receives it.

    You can check the status of the amended return here, but allow 3 weeks after mailing.

    If the IRS would reject your return for any reason, then you would be able to go in and make any necessary changes to your tax return and resubmit.

    How do I fix a rejected return?
