You will have to amend the 2019 tax return to make the correction.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a 2019 tax return originally completed and fled using TurboTax - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-topics/help/how-do-i-amend-a-2019-return-in-turbotax/01/123845...

Do not file an amended return unless the IRS notice tells you to do that. If the notice does say to amend your return, send it to the address where the notice tells you to send it, which might be different from where you would send it if you filed it on your own initiative.

Read the entire IRS notice carefully and follow the instructions in the notice for what to do. Be sure to respond by the deadline in the notice. If you have questions, there should be a phone number to call in the notice.

If you purchased Audit Defense for the year in question, call TaxAudit at 877-829-9695, or report your IRS letter on the TaxAudit.com web site. Do not contact the IRS until you have spoken to TaxAudit. They may contact the IRS on your behalf.
