Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

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

I messed up on our taxes somehow. Not sure what I did but it's showing we made $0. Do I wait until it goes through then amend it?

I know we made money or I couldn't have paid my bills.

If you made an error or omitted some deductions or income, you will need to file an amended return.  If you are expecting a refund, you shouldn't do anything until you receive your refund.  Do not make any changes to your return until you are amending it, as it needs to be exactly the same as filed when you start the amended return.  The amend feature in TurboTax is not yet available, but should be by late February.

It depends on what the status is.   What is the status of your return when you sign into your account?    Did you enter your income from all your W-2s and 1099s?

It says it was accepted. I think I messed up on deductions. I can’t believe I did that
