My refund was accepted by the IRS, but I had to amend for missed W2’s. Haven’t mailed in amended yet. Is my initial return amt still coming direct deposit as planned?

No, just doing the amendment in TurboTax, doesn't affect your original return, if you don't e-file it.

Yes. And you should wait until you receive it before you amend.

 

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been submitted, you should follow these guidelines. 

  • You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed. 
  • You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return. 
  • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.  
  • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due 
  • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending. 
  • You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment

I did amend on TurboTax already, but didn’t print and mail it. Does simply amending it on TurboTax disrupt the initial direct deposit or am I okay because I didn’t mail it in?
