Can I add my 1090-e form to an already submitted tax return

[neas307486]

I already submitted my return but have just gotten my 1090-e form today. Is it too late to add this to my return

Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my return now?”  If you did that, you cannot do anything to fix it yet.  You have to wait for the email that tells you if your return was accepted or rejected. The IRS will begin to accept/reject e-files on January 29, so your email will come on or after 1-29.

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.

If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return. 

 If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.

  Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

What form did you get?  There is no 1090.   Is it a 1095 or 1099?  You may not need to enter it.

I think this is referring to form 1098E. It should be entered because it is an adjustment to income that is beneficial to a taxpayer. As @xmasbaby0 points out, you will need to wait until the return has been accepted by the IRS and when it is, you will need to amend your return and include the 1098-E. Here's how to amend.

1. Sign in at TurboTax.com with the user ID you used when you filed your 2023 return. 
2. Select Scroll down Your tax returns & documents in your landing page.
3. Select Amend (change) 2023 return. 
4. Once your return is opened in your amendment, enter your 1098 E by going to
5. Federal>Deductions and Credits
6. Education>Student Loan Interest Paid (Form 1098-E)
