If I understand correctly.  You amended your return, and there is a school tax due?

  • If that is correct you should mail the payment of the school tax to your local authority.
  • TurboTax can not forward any payments to city or town authorities.

If the Federal and State returns are correct, they can be mailed.

 

If I didn't correctly understand the question, please contact us again with additional details.

I understand it needs mailed. After i filed the ammend thru turbo tax and printed it out, i noticed that some numbers were put in incorrectly. Therefore the amount it says i owe is incorrect. How can i go back to fix the mistake so i can print the correct copy?

The above question is referring to the school tax section only. My federal and state are originally correct

To fix your amended return, you can try to cancel the amendment as follows and then make your corrections to your original return again.

 

You can do this as follows:

  1. Open your return 
  2. In the left menu, select "Cancel Amend"
  3. Select "Yes, I want to cancel my amended return" and then select "Continue".
  4. You will have to remove any forms or changes you made to your original return before or after the amendment was cancelled
  5. Add back any forms you deleted while amending your return.

Once your amendment is cancelled you can start the process again and enter your W-2 information as it should be.  You can get to the W-2 section of TurboTax by clicking on the search icon at the upper right of your screen and type "W-2" into the search bar and click on the link "Jump to W-2."  

 

You can also go to "Wages & Income" to make your corrections.

 

The best way to "unamend" your state return is to go through your state return from the beginning and look for amend-related screens or questions.

The amend question usually appears right at the beginning or towards the end of the state interview (never in the middle).
