How do I get back to my returns to add more info?

If you  no longer see, "Take me to my return/Continue my return" on your account.  To get around that issue, you will do the following:

·        Log in to your TurboTax account

·       Click on Taxes, and then click on My Tax Timeline

·       Locate your 2016 tax return on that page

·       Find  "Some things you can do" under your 2016 tax return information

·       Choose Add State (you don't actually add one; that's just to get the return to open up.)

·       Now you can make any changes necessary in your return. .

NOTE:  Do not use this method to change a return that has already been efiled or actually mailed. In that case, one would need to go through the formal amendment process to prepare a Form 1040X, which needs to start with the return as originally filed.
