how do I view my current retun

The only file that I can find is a PDF file. I want to make some changes on my return and I can't do this on a PDF file. How can I make changes on my return that was created with a desktop version of Turbo Tax?

In the desktop version there are two modes:

  • Forms and Step by Step
  • I suspect you are in the Forms mode
  • In the upper right corner you can toggle between the two features,

Thanks for the reply but it did not answer my question, perhaps because of its brevity.

I can only find one copy of my return and that is in a PDF format, consequently I can't alter it, unless you know a way that I can.

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines. 

 

  • You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
  • You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
  • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
  • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
  • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
  • You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment

Select your product below and follow the instructions.
