I'm using TurboTax online and the link to amend a return is not working.

The blue button that says "Amend using TurboTax Online" does not work. How can I amend my return if the system won't work?

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-a...

 

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.

This is not helpful.  It provides general information.  My problem is that the TurboTax Online function IS NOT WORKING.

You can no longer amend 2023 online and must download the desktop version to complete the amend.

You can download the desktop version of an amended return for FREE!  That's what I did and it worked fine.

If you found your found your TurboTax Online return you want to Amend, and clicked on the Amend button, but received a message that you need TurboTax Desktop, here's how to Contact TurboTax Support.

 

If you purchased your program from Intuit, they may push you a free download of the product you need to amend your prior year return.
