You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.
Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

The 2024 federal amended tax return, Form 1040-X, will not be finalized for tax year 2024 until 02/13/2025
Amend a 2024 return? Sorry----it is way too soon. Did you e-file a 2024 return with mistakes?
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.
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
The 1040X for amending 2024 returns will not be available until sometime in mid-February 2025.
Hello, I already filed my 2024 return, state and federal were both accepted. I received a 1099R form afterwards. I have been told to amend my return, the taxable amount is $0 and no taxes were withheld and it is Code G, GB. If I do amend will it affect my return?
No, if you amend, adding the 1099-R for a direct rollover will not affect your return.
Technically, since the amendment would not show any changes, you can choose to forego filing an amendment and just respond if the IRS sends you a letter about it. In that case, you would include a copy of your 1099-R and respond in writing that it was a direct rollover and therefore a non-taxable event.
If you do choose to amend, please see the following TurboTax Help Articles:

I put in amended 2024 tax return with Turbo Tax and I have not gotten a reply either accepted or rejected for federal, I got accepted for state.It has been a while
State returns amended or original, get accepted only after the federal return gets accepted. If you got an acceptance response for your amended state return, then you can assume your federal return was also accepted.
