Once you have e-filed your returns, if they are accepted, there is no way to stop the process.  However, if they are rejected, you will be able to make any needed changes and resubmit your returns.

If your returns were already accepted and you need to make a change, click here for instructions on Amending your tax return: How to Change a Tax Return You Already Filed.

did you already transmit your return (efile)? If so you need to wait until it is accepted or rejected. Once transmitted you cannot stop it.

Amending is not that hard. See this FAQ for how to do it. But you must wait until the IRS accepts your return. If they reject it for some reason (wrong prior yr AGI for example), you can make the changes you need and not amend. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/4667233-how-do-i-amend-a-2018-return-in-turbotax">https://ttlc.int...>
