If your efiled return has been accepted you have to file an amended return. This FAQ explains how to file an amended return.

If your efiled return is rejected you can just add the schedule c to it and then try to efile again.

Amend and add your Schedule C.

 

First, make sure that your 2020 return was accepted in TurboTax Online or paper-filed through the mail. You can't amend a return that hasn't been filed yet.

When you're ready to amend, find your situation below and follow the instructions.

  2. Search for schedule c and click the Jump to link in the search results.

    • If you've already entered self-employment work and need to enter more, select Add another line of work.
