Since you have already filed your return, you'll need to wait for your tax return to either be rejected or accepted, if it is rejected you can correct or add any information to your return, correct any other errors on the return and resubmit it. If it is accepted, you will need to amend your return to correct or add any information to your return. You can not e-file an amended return as this cannot be filed electronically.  The form is only filed on paper, so it will need to be printed and filed by mail. 

 Please see the following TurboTax FAQ for instructions on how to amend your 2016 tax return in TurboTax.
