I need to change my return. I did the print and mail option. When looking over it I found an error. How can I open turbo tax back up to make a change?

Sign onto your online account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state. 

This will take you back to the 2020 online tax return to make any necessary changes before filing.

I did sign back in and change my transmission to mail-in tax return but it would not let me change that status as far as the transmission is concerned. Can you please reboot this so I can do mail-in and make a copy of my tax return

You will not be allowed to change that transmission if you have e-filed.  You can print and mail your return if you like.  T

 

To access your tax return after you've e-filed it or printed it as part of mailing your return to the IRS:

  1. Sign in TurboTax.
  2. Select Tax Home in the left menu.
  3. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
  4. Select 2020, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you back in).

You'll now be in your return.

Remember:

  • If you've already mailed your return to the IRS, don't e-file it. This can cause problems with the government, including refund delays.
  • If you've already filed your return and you make changes, these changes will be transferred to next year's return if you don't undo them and your information may not be accurate.
  • If you need to change a return you've already filed (for example, you forgot to include a form with your return), you'll have to amend your return.
