You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.

If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return. 

 If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.

  Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

The Form 1040X you need becomes available in late February,  But wait until your return has been processed.

First wait to see if your return was accepted or rejected.

• Accepted: An amended return must be completed to make the corrections.
• Rejected:  Make the change before you resubmit your return through e-file.

If it was accepted you can amend your tax return using the information below. The amended Form 1040-X will be ready later this month. The IRS is not willing to accept amendments until later in the tax season. Uses the links below for assistance and readiness.

• How to Correct Federal Tax Returns

There could be many reasons why the amended return may not be ready yet, including the IRS systems. If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines. 

By using the link, Tax Forms Availability, you can continue to check to see when it's ready.  Be sure to review all the instructions before you begin so that TurboTax knows the original information and the changes.

• You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
• You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
• Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
• The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
• Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
• You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
• How do I amend my federal tax return for this year?

Be sure to correct your state return as well.

I have the same problem.  1040X shows all the wrong information.  It seems to be grabbing random amounts for column A.  The figures are not what was entered on the original return.  The amount on line 18 is not the the overpayment on the original return.  All these errors result in bogus amounts on line 19 and line 20.

If your 2025 return has been fully processed, look at the PDF copy of your return to compare numbers to what you see on the 1040X.  Make sure you're amending the actual filed return and not a previous version that you may have on your computer.
