You have *not* actually filed since the IRS will not open e-file until Jan. 27, but if you submitted it to TurboTax then see below:
If you filed, it is like dropping it into the mail - you cannot get it back if accepted by the IRS or state.
To amend your 2019 tax return:
-- First, *wait* to see if your return has been accepted or rejected by the IRS or state. DO NOT do anything until you receive the accept or reject e-mail.
-- If rejected, you can correct and re-send your return.
-- If accepted you should *wait* until your return has been processed and you receive your refund or conformation that any tax due has been paid. (If you file an amended return while you first return is being processed it can cause extended delays for both returns if two returns are in the system at the same time). In addition, if the IRS makes any change on your original return, you might end up having to amend the amendment – a sticky process that can take a year or more).
-- Then you can start the amend process.
-- Amended returns can only be mailed - allow 8-12 weeks - can take up to 16 weeks (4 months) for processing.

You can check the status of your amended return here but allow 3 weeks after filing for it to show up:

Both have been accepted and deposited however there is no actual place on turbo tax to amend. The links are all dead
It is too soon to amend
The 1040X becomes available later in February, so you have to wait for it. If your return is still being processed now, it would not be a good idea to amend yet anyhow. Sending in an amended return while they are still processing your original return could cause confusion that would delay your refund for months.
Check back later for the 1040X. AFTER your return has been fully processed.
