Can you ammend your simple return if it's been accepted but not processed?

I filed my return but forgot to put that I can be claimed on someone else's taxes. It's causing their return to be rejected because they have the right to claim me.  How can I fix it?

You can amend, but it will not effect your parent's ability to e-file. They will have to paper file since you have already filed.

 

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been submitted, 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 amending. 
  • 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
