Filed taxes wrong?

As long as you haven't already mailed your 2016 paper return, you can switch to the e-filing method. Some states now require e-filing their returns, and federal and state returns must be e-filed together.

If you already mailed your return, don't e-file. Follow the steps below to change your filing method:

  • Sign into your account and click Continue your Return,
    then select the File tab.
  • If you've gone through all of the steps on the <your name>, just one more step and we'll file your returns screen, click the Prepare to send button.
  • On the Here are your filing choices screen, click I'd like to change filing methods.
  • On the Change Filing Method popup, check the returns you wish to E-file and click Save.
    The Here are your filing choices screen now shows E-file.
