See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-a...

 

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four  or five months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.

Did you already file the tax return without the school's tax ID? If you e-filed it, was it accepted? Amending a tax return means filing a special form, Form 1040-X, to make changes to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted. If you have not filed your tax return, or your e-file was rejected, you do not amend it. You just enter the missing information in TurboTax and file again.


If you did already file the tax return, are you asking about adding the tax ID because you got an IRS notice about it?
