I got my 1098-T back after i filed my taxes. Could I go back and add it or is it too late?

Yes, it is too late to process with your first submission. You will need to Amend your 2016 tax return.  You should not try to amend your return until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or your payment has cleared.  Amended returns do not “catch up” to your original return and replace them;  they are processed as two separate returns.  

Amended returns have to be printed and filed by mail.  It can take the IRS up to 12 weeks or longer to process them.   If you are due a larger refund than on your original return, your amended return should only show the difference and you will receive a separate check for it.  If you owe money on your amended return, it will show only the new amount owed, you will have to mail a check with the return.

Please see the TurboTax FAQ below for more information.

Once a tax returned has been filed, you cannot make changes. If you have realized that you have made a mistake (example: forgotten to report a W2), your job now is to wait to see if the IRS accepts it.

·       If the IRS accepts your current year tax return, you will want to submit an amended 2016 tax return to correct the tax return.

·       If the IRS rejects your current year tax return, you will have the opportunity to fix the mistake using TurboTax and then e-file the corrected version.

To check the status of your tax return, use the "Where's my Refund" tool provided by the IRS in the following link.https://www.irs.gov/Refunds
