No. If you need to amend your tax return in TurboTax, there is no additional fee.

I need to amend my return and it's saying I owe an additional 39.99 to do so why is that?

TurboTax wanted to charge me close to $100 to amend my FREE return. They’ve got to be kidding. No thanks - I’ll go elsewhere.

Yes you will get charged if you have to upgrade to a higher version when you amend.  Or you add a state return or some other service.

If the information you need to Amend in TurboTax requires an upgrade to the next level of TurboTax, you will be prompted to upgrade which will result in an additional cost. You can review your fees to see a breakdown of what you are being charged for.

I had to pay $110 to amend mine just now, for it to just tell me to print out the 1040-X and mail it in myself, come to find out I could have just got that form for free and did it myself. Is there anyway to return this? Nothing told me I could have done it myself till after I had paid. Very confusing to do, and couldn't really navigate it at all.

How do you know that your amend has been submitted and how long did it take for them to accept it?

It depends.

 

Amended returns cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.  They must be mailed in.

 

Please see the attached link for more information on how amended returns can be prepared in TurboTax.

How to amend my return?

 

Once you send in your return, you can track the status of your amended returns using the link below.

Status of Amended returns

 

IRS operations are limited during the Covid-19 pandemic.  Attached is a link with more information as to what departments are available to contact at the moment. 

 

If your status has not been updated yet, it may be because they are currently not processing paper returns due to social distancing requirements.  Once the restrictions are lifted, the IRS will resume processing returns that have been mailed in, including amended returns.

Yes , turbo tax does charge you again for fixing and refilling taxes.  I paid 40 for service 40 for the upgrade and 40 for direct deposit.  After all fees 865 fed. Well I got rejected, I added one extra number. So I looked to fix it. Can't amend online. Turbo tax let fix the right number and then went to refile. After going through that charged me another 40 services 40 upgrade and 40 direct deposit. So yes turbo tax does charge you again.

Rejected tax returns cannot be amended since they were never accepted by the IRS.  You correct the error and e-file the tax return again.

If you were charged more than once for your tax return then you need to contact TurboTax support for this billing issue.

Support is open from 5am to 9pm Pacific time, 7 days a week during tax season

No you do not pay to amend unless you need to upgrade to a higher version for something.

All amendments in 2019 had to be printed, signed, and mailed in.  That is the only way the IRS would accept them

You can amend your return for no extra charge and e-file it during this tax year, until Oct. 15 or so.  After that, it would need to be mailed in.
