Can I file for taxes twice after already filing for taxes earlier this year?

No you get one shot to file form 1040.

Can I file for taxes twice after already filing for taxes earlier this year?

No.  You can only e-file one time.  If you made a mistake of some sort then you wait until the return has been fully processed and prepare an amended return.  Amended returns have to be mailed, and they take months to be processed.

 

How do I amend my 2019 TurboTax Online return?

 

 

A 1040X cannot be e-filed.  It must be printed and mailed.  It will take about 4 months for the IRS to process an amended return.  It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.

Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:
