How can I amend my forms?

Did you already e-file a 2016 return?

Yes

As I was filing they projected I was getting an $1100 + return  . Then when I viewed my return forms it said only $449

Print off the tax form and look at it. The refund meter isn;t final until all the info has been entered. What exactly do you plan to change?

Says I've been penalized for not having healthcare for part of 2016. I ve had insurance continuously for at least 6 years

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox

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. 

 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 mail it in. You will need to use a form called a 1040X. You cannot e-file an amended return.  They have to be mailed, and it takes at least 2-3 months for the IRS to process an amended return.  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
