The amendment Form 1040-X is not available until 2/12/2020.

 

If your return has been accepted and you need to amend by filing a Form 1040-X.  Click here for instructions Amend 2019.  Please note that you should not try to amend your return until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or your payment has cleared.  If by editing the information does not change the refund or amount you owe, you do not need to submit the amendment.

I finally received my 2019 W-2 from an employer. I only worked for them a short time in 2019 and forgot I worked for them last year. I changed my address 3 times since moving from Nashville and some boxes were lost in the moves.

 

I need to amend my 2019 return.

To amend:

  1. Sign in to TurboTax.
  2. Scroll down to Your tax return & documents (you may need to select Show), select 2019 and then Amend (change) return.
    • If you only see the option to amend 2018 or earlier, it's because you can't amend an unfiled 2019 return. Instead, just select Pick up where you left off, make your changes, and disregard the rest of these instructions.
  3. Select Amend using TurboTax Online.
  4. Carefully follow the instructions. Don't worry if your refund changes to $0. This is normal on amended returns.
  5. When finished, we'll give you instructions for printing and mailing your amended return, as amendments can't be e-filed.

Please note, the IRS is not processing paper returns right now due to COVID-19, so it will be awhile before your amendment is finalized.
