Got this here: https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3923162-can-a-person-modify-already-printed-returns-before-mailing...

Will copy and paste below. It worked for me, though I had to log out a couple times. It kept telling me I couldn't amend yet when clicking "Add State"...

Yes, if you have not yet e-filed or mailed the return, you can go back in and make changes before filing.

You can get back into your return using the steps here below:

Log into your TurboTax account and click My TurboTax at the top
You should be on the Tax Timeline now
Scroll down to SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO section
Click Add a state (not really adding one, just a way to get back into return)
And make the changes you need to
