Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I just submitted my taxes, they were accepted. I realized a mistake and have to amend. When can I make the ammendment?

I am not given the opportunity to amend, the Federal was accepted and the State has not been. Is there a way to recall the submittal?

You cannot get a return back once you have e-filed.  Since your Federal return has been accepted, the IRS suggests you wait until your return has been fully processed (refund received or payment withdrawn) before you amend your return.  The IRS does catch some mistakes and corrects the automatically.

 

How do I amend my 2021 return?

There are a few things you need to know before you can start the amendment process:

  • To amend your 2021 return, you need to use the same TurboTax account that you used to file your original 2021 return.
    • If you don’t see your 2021 return under Your tax returns & documents on the Tax Home screen, you might be in the wrong account. Use our account recovery tool to find all of your accounts.
  • Make sure you really need to amend, and that your 2021 return was accepted. You can't amend a return that hasn't been filed yet.
  • If you don’t need to amend, and instead want to view, print, or download your 2021 return, follow these instructions.
  • If you used TurboTax Free Edition, you'll need to add PLUS to amend your return.
