Some things to keep in mind:

 

• You must wait until your original return has been accepted to amend it.
• Amend only if you need to make a change to a return you have already filed. 
• Wait until you get your refund or have paid your taxes. Have a copy of your original return at your side before you start. And be sure you use the correct year’s software of TurboTax.
• You must file a separate Form 1040-X for each tax return you are amending.
• Amended returns can take more than three months for the IRS to process.
• Gather your original tax return and any new documents needed to prepare your amended return.
• Print a copy of your return that you are amending and have it ready to refer to. 
• Use the same TurboTax account you used to file your original return. 
• Be sure to only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending.
