UPDATED FOR TAX YEAR 2019

If you have already filed your return, 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, make the 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.

IMPORTANT: 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.

Please see the instructions contained in these TurboTax Help articles to amend your return:
