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

I made a mistake and already submitted my taxes about 5 minutes ago, is there a way to correct it?

I'm in the process of doing my mother's taxes who passed away last year and found a 1099-B in my name that I didn't report!

Once you submit it is not possible to cancel the return but if it gets rejected you can open it back up, correct whatever needs to be corrected and add your new information and re-file.

If it gets accepted, you can amend the return. Follow the steps below to Amend :

   - Sign in to your TurboTax account, if you're not already signed in.
    -In the 2016 Tax Year section, click Amend (change) return.
        Note: If you see an orange Take me to my return button, you can't amend because you haven't filed yet. Just click or tap that button to open your return and make your changes.
    -In the pop-up, click Amend using TurboTax Online
    -Click Continue on the We'll help you change (amend) your return screen.
    -Follow the on-screen directions to amend your return.
        Don't worry if your refund drops to zero or does strange things while you are amending. Your calculations will come out correctly in the end.
    -When you're done, we'll provide instructions to print and mail your amended return because an amended return can't be e-filed.


You can track your amended taxes with the IRS tracking tool. It takes the IRS around 16 weeks to process your amended taxes
