Amending taxes to take advantage of the earned income credit

So I went back to amend my taxes and when I try to take advantage of the earned income credit Turbo tax is not recognizing that I have changed my sons information to staying with me 12 months. It keeps telling me that I cannot get the credit because he is not with me for more than 6 months. I have tried numerous times and nothing. Is there a way to amend my taxes without using a current turbo tax file.

Amending taxes to take advantage of the earned income credit

Did you use TurboTax to file the original return? If so, here are the instructions for filing an amended return.

If you did not use TurboTax for the original return, the program can't amend it since it does not have the information from the original return.

Yes I did use turbo tax. I am frustrated since it should be as easy as changing my sons info.

Still have questions?
