Amend a tax that was filed

I want to amend my tax it was appRoved already

Since your tax return was accepted by the IRS, you must prepare, print, sign and mail an amended tax return form 1040X to correct the problem. DO NOT change your original tax return until you start the amended return. If you have already changed it from the way it was originally filed and accepted, you must change it back before you start the amended return. Wait until you receive the refund from your original return before beginning your amended return to make sure you enter the correct amount. An amended return cannot be efiled.

My tax was not done thru turbo tax, and I already received the funds. I just created an account in turbo tax, now where do I go to do an amend?

The first thing you must do is recreate your original return exactly as it was filed. That is the basis for creating an amended return. Once you have completed the original return in TurboTax and it matches exactly the return you filed, then you can start an amended return. Why are you not using the service you used to file your original return?

The guy that did my taxes forgot to add something and now he wants to charge me a lot to fix it, but my friend told me I can do it here cheaper

If it is a reputable company, there should not be any additional charges to amend a return for something the preparer was responsible for not entering.
