Hello! How do I modify the status of my return? I printed out the forms, however they have not been mailed. I need to make an adjustment. Please advise.

When you print, the program assumes it has been mailed and therefore does not allow you to go back in and make changes. A way around this is to add a state. This election will allow you back in to e-file.

If you haven't efiled or mailed your return or it rejected you can go back in and change anything you want.  Do not click on Amend!

 

Click on Add a State to let you back into your return.

From Tax Home (the first screen you see after you sign in), scroll down to Your tax returns & documents. You may have to select Show to open the drop down.

 

Select 2020, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this is just the workaround).

 

Then when you are ready to file you can try to switch to efile.
