Hello ! Yesterday I amend my 2016 tax return. Does turbo tax provide me the 1040x or I need to do it by my own and mail it to the IRS ?? Thank you!

I am asking this because, In the step 3 to amend it says that turbo tax will make sure that you print and mail the IRS...
Do I need to wait that they aprove my amended taxes made in turbo tax?

No, you do not need to wait. You will just print and mail your amended tax return.

To print your amended return, follow the steps below.

When you mail Form 1040-X you should include the following forms:

• The new (amended) Form 1040
• Any forms or schedules that were added or changed as a result of preparing the amendment

Please note that 1040-X cannot be e-filed - you will need to mail a paper return.  It takes the IRS up to 16 weeks to process amended returns.  Also, depending on whether the changes affect your numbers, you may also be required to file an amended return with your state.  

The mailing address for your state and situation can be found at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040x.pdf.  Look under Where to File on page 14.

Thank you for your response.
I follow the online instructions but when i need to choose my option, it doesn't appear the 1040x form...
it only appears... forms filled with the government
                            forms filled with the government + worksheets
                            All forms

Thank you!

[AmyW]

Forms filed with the government will include the 1040X.
My pleasure.

Great !

So if I print the Forms filled with the government (Without worksheets) And mail it to the IRS , I am ok with that ?

I don't need to put anything else is the envelope ?

Thank you for your help, you been great!

[AmyW]

Just include any proof of changes. Like if you had to add a W-2 or 1099, you will want to attach a copy. If any schedules changed, you will also want to include those. You won't need to include any worksheets.

[topolove]

Perfect ! My situation is that I did my taxes only with my W-2 form and last week I received my 1098-t, so that is why I need to amend my taxes.

I will send the forms filled with the goverment + a copy of my w-2 form and a copy of my 1098-t.
What do you think ?

Thank you!!

[AmyW]

Attaching the 1098-T will be perfect since it is the only document that changed. My pleasure.

[topolove]

Thank you, It was very helpful !!!
Have a great week 🙂

[topolove]

Last question 🙂

If i send those two things, they will know why I am sending them the amend form (1040-x) Or I need to include some comments or something?

Thank you!

[AmyW]

They will know the reason the changes were made and it will be processed. Have a good week.

[topolove]

Thank you !! you too !!

No.  You just print it out now from Turbo Tax and mail it in yourself.  You have to mail in the 1040X,  it doesn't need to be approved because you can't efile it.
