You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.

 

If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.

 

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return. 

 

Sometimes—not always— the IRS corrects your mistakes, while they are processing your return.

 

 If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.

 

  Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

If you are saying you left a form off from your tax return and you need to add another one, you can not unless your return gets rejected by the IRS.

As xmasbaby0 mentions above, you will have to wait until your tax return is fully processed and you have received your refund to amend your tax return to add the form.

 

 Also,  the IRS may correct your tax return to include this form if it is a form that is reported to the IRS like a W-2 or 1099. If the IRS corrects your tax return, you will not have to amend it.  You will receive a Notice from the IRS if they make a correction (likely a Notice CP2000).  You only need to file an amended return if the IRS didn't catch the error and you need to pay additional tax, or if you disagree with the IRS's calculation.

 

You may be able to see beforehand if they are sending you a notice by accessing your IRS.gov Online account . You can use this link to access/create an online account Online account for individuals.

 

Once your tax return is fully processed, to amend your return using TurboTax Online(if you used TurboTax Online to prepare your original tax return) you will:

  1. Log in to your TurboTax account.
  2. At your homepage, look for "Your tax returns & documents" and select the correct tax year.
  3. The you will select the "Amend (change) return" dropdown and in the dropdown choose "Amend using TurboTax Online".
  4. Follow your prompts, and select your reason for amending.
  5. Make your corrections, and make your corrections (add your interest income).

Make sure to review your return before filing and then  follow the prompts to e-file or print and mail Form 1040-X to the IRS. 

  

You will be able to track your amended return using this link  Where's My Amended Return? on IRS.gov.
