i need to amend 2021 state tax due to an IRS audit. When i download desktop version, its making me buy all 4 states, whereas i need to amend one state only. what to do?

WIll i have to pay for all 4 states even though i need to amend 1 state only? only 1 state was a resident filing, others were non-resident, thats why no change to other states.

If you originally had purchased that state, you shouldn't need to pay for it again. If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines. 

 

  • You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
  • You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
  • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
  • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
  • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
  • You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
