If you have not filed you do not amend.

To change a return If you haven't mailed or efiled yet, see

If you haven't efiled or mailed your return or it rejected you can go back in and change anything you want. Do not click on Amend!

Click on Add a State to let you back into your return.

From Tax Home (the first screen you see after you sign in), scroll down to Your tax returns & documents. You may have to select Show to open the drop down.

Select 2020, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this is just the workaround).

Why does TurboTax make it so difficult, such that you would even have to ask this question ?

Thank you hitting the add a state button worked.

Still have questions?
