Amending return

I need to amend my return. When I try to do that now, it states that the option is not available yet and will be soon - that I will be notified. It's been a week of trying to amend my return. When will this feature be available??

Amending return

The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/25/2026

 

An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.


Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

Amending return

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
