I forgot to file my 1095-A but my e-filed tax return has already been accepted. Should I wait until they respond to that before trying to amend?

If you forgot to report Form 1095-A on your original tax return which has already been accepted, you will need to amend your tax return. Please follow the steps below to amend your 2017 tax return:

First, make sure you really need to amend and that your 2017 return was accepted (or paper-filed) in TurboTax Online. You can't amend a return that hasn't been filed yet. More info

1. Sign in to TurboTax and make sure you've selected Tax Home on the left side of your screen.
   • If you don't see this, click or tap the 3 white lines in the upper-left corner to expand the menu.
2. Under Your tax returns & documents, select Amend (change) 2017 return.
   • If you only see the option to amend 2016 or earlier, it's because you can't amend an unfiled 2017 return. Select Take me to my return, make your changes, and disregard the rest of these instructions.
3. Carefully follow the onscreen instructions and don't worry if your refund changes to $0. This is normal on amended returns.
4. When finished, we'll give you instructions for printing and mailing your amended return, as amendments cannot be e-filed.

3 weeks after mailing your amended return, you can start tracking it at the IRS Where's My Amended Return? tracking tool. Please allow at least 16 weeks for the IRS to process your amended return.

Processing times for amended state returns vary from state to state. If it's been more than 12 weeks since you mailed your amended state return, and you haven't heard anything, we suggest you contact your state tax agency.

When should I expect to receive the original refund? I’ve already amended and sent in everything. Does the original take as long as the amended? *my original refund was accepted but delayed due to forgetting the 1095-a*
