I filed my 2019 taxes and I made the mistake and chose the IRA account instead of the IRA Roth. How do I change it? I don't have a 401k or any other retirement fund, I wanted to start with the IRA Roth account.

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.

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.
