Can I amend my federal return to claim education expenses paid by my grandparents if they did not claim them?

Grandparents aided in college funds for the state of TN, but by the time I had filed for my part of taxes, they were no longer able to. I want to amend for the state of TN, but all other states except TN are showing to select to amend.

Tennessee does not have a state income tax, that is why there is no option to amend that return, as it was not filed in the first place.

So would I need to do it for the state of SC since that was where I resided?

If you are amending your Federal, you would amend any state return that is effected by your Federal Changes. 

 

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 

Select your product below and follow the instructions.
