See this article and this one for more information on filing an amended return with TurboTax.
First, make sure you got your refund or paid your taxes due from the originally filed return; you want to make sure the government doesn’t get confused with your money, so the original return needs to be all squared away before you amend. Have a printed copy with you when you prepare the amendment.
If you prepared your original tax return using TurboTax, log in to your account, open the tax return you already filed, and click on the link to amend your return. From there, the software will walk you through the process of filing the amendment.
There are times when you should amend your return and times when you shouldn't. Here are some common situations that call for an amendment:
- You realized you missed out on claiming a tax deduction or credit.
- You accidentally claimed the wrong tax filing status.
- You need to add or remove a dependent.
- You forgot to claim taxable income on your tax return.
- You realize you claimed an expense, deduction, or credit that you weren't eligible to claim.
