Yes.  As long as you haven't yet e-filed or mailed your return, you can re-open it to make changes before filing.  Use the instructions included in the TurboTax FAQ below to make your changes.  Then you can proceed to e-file your return or print for mailing.

Yes, you can still make changes. You can return to any of the sections in the TurboTax program and make changes since the tax return has not be filed.

To make changes before filing:

1.    Sign In to TurboTax Online

2.    Click "My TurboTax" menu

3.    Press "Visit My Tax Timeline" 

4.    Under the "SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO" heading, choose "Add a state" (you're not really adding a state, this allows you to get back into your return). 

5.    You may now make the corrections to your tax return.
