I just filed my 2023 Federal and North Carolina State Tax Returns and realized I left a few things off that I need to report. I did not see "Amend" anywhere either.

I submitted 2.5 hours ago and asked the TurboTax AI bot and it told me to scroll down and find "Amend Documents" of which was not on any screen. Help please!

Has your returns been Accepted yet?

 

You should not amend until the first return has fully processed and you get the first refund or your tax due payment has cleared.

You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 16 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.


Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
