Don't be in a rush ... the changes signed into law last month will take 3 months or more to be worked into the prior year return programs since the current 2019 program has priority.

 

How to amend (change or correct) a return you already filed

You can amend returns that have been accepted by the IRS. If your return is pending, you won't be able to make any changes until it's accepted or rejected by the IRS. If you don't know your e-file status, we can help you check it.

Select a tax year for specific amending instructions.

Keep in mind: You have 3 years from the date you filed your return (or 2 years after you paid the tax due, whichever is later) to file an amended return, which means you don't have to get it done by the April 15 filing deadline.

I suppose I should check with Intuit often for updates to the forms. If the forms don't get updated then the calculations will not change. Am I right?

Correct ... but amending something that will change due to a program change can be tricky ... make sure you save a .taxfile of the ORIGINAL return (add some words to the file name like "as filed" so you can recognise it easily  AND a PDF  so you have the correct starting point.
