2018 return has been accepted, but I need to amend it. Have tried to amend on my profile. But turbo keeps pushing the date back. How do I amend? Thank you.

Unfortunately, TurboTax has changed the date to 3/7/19 that the amendment form will be available.  Hopefully, that date will not change.  Amended returns must be mailed.  

 You have 3 years from the date you filed your return (or 2 years after you paid the tax due, whichever is later) to file an amended return, which means you don't have to get it done by the April 15 filing deadline.

Thank you. I filed in January, realized I made a mistake...and have been trying to amend ever since. Everytime I go to do that, they change the date to when the form will be ready to a farther date. Frustrating! Hoping they dont change it again!

Keeping my fingers crossed the date does not change again.
