You will have to take steps to amend your return.  You can see the steps below.

Once you are ready to amend the return, you can update your filing status and dependents.

  • Under the My Info tad on the left sidebar.
  • Select your name, then Edit.
  • Follow the interview.

If you want to make changes to a tax return that has already been submitted  and was accepted, you should follow these guidelines to amend your return.

  • You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
  • You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
  • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
    • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
    • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending.
  • You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
