She cannot change the information at this time  and will need to wait until the return is accepted or rejected (January 23rd, 2017 is when the IRS opens their e-file system).  If the return is rejected, she will be able to modify before she resubmits.  

If the return is accepted, she should amend, or correct, the return if the original entries in the income area were incomplete. There is no additional charge to use Turbo Tax to amend your return, but she will need to mail in the amended forms, as the IRS does not accept e-files on amendments.   

The amend form should be available in mid-February, to make the corrections. This will also allow time for the IRS to receive the original return and make sure there are not any other items that need to be addressed.
