Can 2020 returns get Amended now?

[Anonymous]

I was able to start amending my 2020 return but then wasn't able to finish?

What does it show when you try to finish it?

You can amend your 2020 return by following the instructions here, as long as your return has been accepted.

Hi Carissa, it shows a message that I can't amend until the IRS gives instructions and updates turbotax. I did start the amendment but it didn't go through. I have an estimate but couldn't finish

Also, I just read the latest update to NOT amend 2020 returns until the IRS gives word that software is updated.

It depends.

If you filed a tax return that had unemployment income reported, you should not file an amended return.  The IRS will be adjusting the amount of tax due on that $10,200 and will be processing refunds from the tax return as originally filed.

Please refer to the link below for additional updates if your return is affected by the latest IRS changes in unemployment income.

I didn't report my unemployment when I initially filed because on the form it asked for some I.D.# which I didn't have because I hadn't received my 1099G at that time, so I just skipped over it. So do I need to amend or do I wait for the IRS to adjust it?
