Are you military?

Any combat pay would have been entered on your W-2 in box 12, with Code Q.

 

If you are not military then go back to My Info and change the selection for being in the military.

If you filed, it is like dropping it into a mailbox - you cannot get it back.

 

You'll have to wait until your return is either accepted or rejected.  IRS just posted that they will not start processing until 2/12 so you will have to wait ...

  • If rejected, you can make any necessary changes.
  • If accepted, you'll need to amend your return
  • To avoid unnecessary delays, do not amend until your original return has been fully processed.  You will need to print and mail the amendment.  
  • Allow 8-12 weeks for processing.

See this TurboTax FAQ for help with amending.

You can check the status of your amended return here, but allow 3 weeks after filing for it to show up.
