How do I edit (not amend) my 2023 tax return?

TurboTax regards my tax return as completed. I have not filed it. I need to make a change but don't see how. I would appreciate any advice.

As long as you have not Efiled or mailed the return, you can go back in and make changes. Please see the steps below.  These are from last year so I don't know how it works for 2023.


In TurboTax Online, sign in to your account.
Select Tax Home in the left menu.
Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
Select 2023, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you back into your return so you can make changes).

I tried that approach 20 minutes ago and it did not work. No tax-part menu on the left. But I just tried it again and it worked! Thanks for the tip, which I already found elsewhere. I think a lesson here is that one may need to wait for 30 minutes or so while TurboTax sorts out that a "Ready to mail" tax return should still be editable.
