Do I have to mail my amended state tax return after I amended my federal return, and there is no change in the state return?

[Lzha794208]

I e-filed my amended federal tax return because I need to add my education expenses. I didn't want to amend my state return, but I didn't have the option to not amend my state return.

You do not need to amend your state if you amend your federal. You should have been asked a questions about if you wanted to amend your state as well. Make sure you select no.

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
