Federal was accepted but need to amend it when can I do it

If the return has been accepted, you can start the amendment process.

 

 If it is accepted, follow these steps:

  1. On the Tax Home screen, 
  2. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and 
  3. Select the Amend (change) return dropdown, 
  4. Then Amend using TurboTax Online.
  5. (If you're told to amend your return via TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps for TurboTax Desktop instead.)
  6. Continue through the screens, make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return.

BUT...you should wait for your refund, or pay the original balance due before amending....the processing of the original and it's Refund or Balance Due can't be stopped.

The 1040X form needed for amending is not supposed to be ready until on/after 19 FEBRUARY, so you really can't file the amended return until then. So come back to start to amend.....perhaps in early March.
