If you have not actually filed the 2017 return (have not efiled and haven't filed by mail), then try this to open your return to continue working on it.
- Log in and go to the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents."
- Click on that line or the word SHOW to expand that section.
- Under 2017, look for a link "Add a State" and click. (that doesn't really add one; that's just to open the return back up.)
- Once the return is open, you can resume working on your return to make any corrections.
- Depending on what you change on the Federal side, you may need to review the screens in your State Taxes.
- Then go through the REVIEW tab to be sure all is still in order.
- Then go through the FILE tab to choose a filing method, etc.
- If filing by mail, it should prompt you to print the return and filing instructions.
- If efiling, be sure you go all the way to the end to the final screen and click the button "Transmit Returns Now".
NOTE: Do NOT use this method to open a return to make changes/edits to an
already-filed return (one that has actually been mailed or efiled.) If you later need to make changes to an already-filed return, you have to
go through the formal amending process, and your return must start off
exactly as originally filed.
