If the person who did your taxes efiled your tax return and it has been accepted, you must prepare, print and mail an amended return form 1040X to make any changes. You can take your printed tax return to a tax professional and have him or her amend the return or it can be done in TurboTax if you have your account log in information. A tax professional must first recreate your original return as it was filed before beginning your amended return.

Regardless of what you do, the IRS will process your original return as filed. if there is a refund on it, you will get it unless the IRS makes an adjustment for some reason.

The amended return can take up to 16 weeks to process.
