Can I get live tax help to amend my 2017 return? I sold stocks and my return didn’t reflect accurate numbers-for which the IRS sent a notice that I owe taxes. I don’t understand the short term, long term investments, employee stocks, capital gains/losses and cost basis, and desperately need help.

Select a tax year for specific amending instructions. There is no LIVE help feature for amending a prior year return ... follow the interview screens carefully in the investment section then if you get stuck you can call the TT support line with a specific question but they will not walk you thru it all or do it for you.

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.
