If you have already filed your return, first print out a copy of your original return for your records.

Then go into Turbo Tax and click Amend (change) a filed and accepted return under Manage Your Return.

It's zeroed out (which is why you need to keep a copy of your original return). You can then add any additional info that you've received, and Turbo Tax walks you through the rest!

Addresses to Mail Amendments To

You need to wait till your return is accepted by the IRS before you amend.

You mail the 1040X along with any schedules that changed as a result of the amendment (except the 1040).

You also include the federal copy of any new W-2s or any 1099-Rs that had tax withheld.

Of course, "Manage Your Return" does not exist in any of the menus in my software, so this instruction is worthless. Thank you very little.

A 1040X cannot be e-filed. It must be printed and mailed. It will take about 3-4 months for the IRS to process an amended return. It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.

Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:
