If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines. 

• 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 to be corrected.
• 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

The amended return form 1040X won't be ready until late February.  And you have to wait until the IRS is done processing your return and you get the first refund or pay the tax due.

I'm in a similar place.  I filed last night for state and federal, then today, I received a 1099-DIV that came in the mail and was not downloadable from broker site.  I tried the amend link but it says, that is not ready until February 15.  Did others have the same issue or is there a different way to amend the return?

The Form 1040-X for tax year 2024 will be available in TurboTax on 02/13/2025'

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

Yes, I would like to amend my tax return for this year that I’ve already filed Turbo tax

Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.

How do I amend my 1040 tax return after it was accepted? Also how do I avoid paying an interest penalty assuming I have to wait for IRS to file?
