I did not itemize my deductions, and took the standard deduction due to an illness - an accountant from another Co. prepared the return 2015 .Can I amend with Turbo Tax?

I wasn't aware I could amend a past return, until yesterday, and am wondering though I had the 2015 return prepared and file with an account from a tax firm - they can not help me because of the late date in amending the return, can I amend my 2015 return using Turbo Tax software even though I did not file the original 2015 through Turbo Tax?

Yes, you will need to purchase Turbotax 2015 and enter the info from your filed tax return for 2015. Basically you are redoing your taxes (just don't refile.) Once you have entered everything for your 2015 return select amend return. Make your corrections and turbotax will prepare the amended return and give you filing instructions.
