How do I amend my tax return when I cannot find it on the turbotax website?

[vlam827]

I followed this link https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/amending/help/how-do-i-amend-my-turbotax-online-return/00/27577

and could not find my 2019 taxes. I did my 2019 taxes through the software I downloaded from a CD purchased. 

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

If you used the Desktop software, your return is not on TurboTax Online, it is on the computer you used to prepare your return.  The instructions you were looking at is for the Online version.

For the Desktop software, on the first screen when you open the program select “Amend a filed return.”  

Amended returns must be mailed.  The amendment form will not be available in TurboTax until the end of February or early March.

There is no option to amend. It just goes to the last page that I was on, the page that I filed my taxes. Thank you!

Nevermind, I have just found it. Thank you so much!

Were your returns accepted?  If not, you will not be able to amend your return.

Also, don't open your return.  Open your tax software & on the first page on the left below the box with the returns listed, it has Amend a Filed Return.  With that said the amendment form (1040X for Federal) is not available in TurboTax until late February or early March.  You would have to wait until the form becomes available to amend a return.

Where did you find it?  I have looked and looked and can't find it. (I have a Mac with the desktop version.)

What is the "it" that you referred to?   This is an old thread from several months ago.  We don't know what your situation is and what you're trying to find.   And what tax year?   Are you trying to locate a *.tax2019 data file that you prepared in the Mac desktop software so you can amend it?

Or can you find the return OK, but are you asking how to start an amended return, and don't know how?

Can you launch the program and open your tax return on the ?Mac?  Here's how to amend 2019
