amending MT state tax return

I have e-filed my federal and Montana state tax returns and both have been accepted. I get refunds for both returns.

 

I would like to amend my Montana state return since I have an additional $1200 contributed to 529 funds for my granddaughters which I didn't include in the original submission.

 

I have not received the refunds shown in the original submissions.

 

What is the best way to go about this?  Should I wait until I get my refunds?

Yes. Wait until your original return is completely processed.

 

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. 

 

  • 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
