I need to amend my 2020 Federal Tax Return already submitted

I filed my 2020 Federal Tax Return using Turbo Tax. It was accepted.  My stimulus check was sent to previous address.  IRS says if you did not receive your $600 check, take a $600 tax credit.  I need to amend my 2020 Federal Tax Return I submitted thru Turbo Tax 3/05/2021.

If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS, it cannot be e-filed. The IRS will take up to 16 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.


Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
