You'll have to do this on a computer or laptop, as it involves installing the TurboTax download software. You won't be able to do this on a mobile device.

  1. Sign in at TurboTax.com with the login you used when you filed your 2017 return.
  2. Click Show to open Your tax returns & documents.
  3. Select 2017, and then click Amend (change) 2017 return.
  4. In the expanded instructions, click the links in step 1 (download your .tax file) and step 2 (download TurboTax Desktop 2017).
  5. Install the TurboTax Desktop 2017 software. Win instructions | Mac instructions
  6. Now, open your .tax file in the TurboTax Desktop 2017 software by choosing File > Open Tax Return (Windows) or TurboTax > Open Tax Return (Mac). Browse to the location of your tax file, and then click Open.
  7. Finally, you are ready to amend your 2017 return.
