How can I amend a prior year tax return if I did not file using TurboTax?

[ThomasM125]

If you want to amend it using TurboTax, you can purchase the prior year tax product, re-enter your tax information and then use the Amend Return option to do the amendment. You will find that in the Other Tax Situations section of TurboTax. Look under Other Tax Forms for the Amend return option.

The best way to amend your tax return is by using the same method that you used to file the original return. The amended return uses the original return as a starting point. If you amend your return using the same method you used to file it, your original return is already there. To prepare an amended return with TurboTax, you would first have to recreate your original return in TurboTax, making sure that it exactly matches the return that you filed, then amend the recreated return.

You have to recreate the actual wrong original return. Then when it matches each line that you really filed you have to tell Turbo Tax you will mail it so it thinks it was filed. Then you can amend it.

You would have to buy the prior year Desktop program here. They only sell the last 3 years. You need a full Windows or Mac computer to install it on
