If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.


Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

Yes, you can amend your 2023 tax return that was prepared in TurboTax. 

 

The first step is to wait until your original return is fully processed. That means waiting until you get you refund, or at least 21 days if you owed. 

 

Once you are ready to do the amendment:
 

  1. Sign in to TurboTax.
  2. On the home screen, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and select the year you want to amend.
  3. Select Amend (change) return, then Amend using TurboTax Online.
  4. Carefully follow the directions to start your amendment.
  5. Your refund will go to zero, don't worry, that's normal.
  6. On the screen OK, let's get a kickstart on your amended return, select the reason(s) you're amending and Continue.
  7. When you reach Here's the info for your amended federal return, select Start next to the info you need to change.
  8. Continue through the screens, make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return.
     


If you file a state return, you can continue into your state after your federal return is complete.
