Need help amend my 2020 tax return

[Buchiashiedu]

Okay. I am so nervous because it’s my fist time doing this. I filed my 2020 taxes by e-filing it through turbo tax. And now it’s saying i owe 600 where did that come from. I think I’m supposed to get at least 2,000 for my refund  and also I didn’t qualify for the first or second stimulus but I’m supposed to get the 600 one. So at this point I am just confused.  I’m stuck I think I messed up because I tried this twice with another account and I am not sure if I am going to get rejected from one of them because I was afraid that I messed up

I need help, because I filed twice with a different account and I am afraid I made I error while filing. Can I amend or delete it. Please help

I have to start all over again because i accidentally filed my return twice thinking that I made an error. Now I’m getting Two different things says I owe taxes which I don’t and I’m sitting here stuck and confusing I have to amend my return because I use my return by using two different emails.  

do I have to wait until they except it or reject it?  And how do I file my amend? It just seems to complicated. I just want to make sure I am getting me my refund right and things like that In order

If the return was already filed, do not try to file it again. Owing $600 involves what was reported.

Yes, you are correct, wait until the two filings are either accepted or rejected. Only the first one submitted will be accepted. The other one will automatically be rejected because the social security number was already submitted.

• For the one that is accepted, check to see what was submitted.
  • To see what was filed, open the accepted tax return filed. You will be at Tax Home:
    • Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and Show
    • Navigate to the option to download the PDF of your return so that you can see what was reported as tax owed on page 2, line 37 of Form 1040. The forms are named in the top left and lower right hand corners of each page.
  • If you submitted that you owe and really do owe, but cannot pay it, the IRS will allow you to set up payments. You will have to contact the IRS and your state if you owe and cannot pay. See: What if I can't pay my taxes? and How do I contact my state?
    • If your return was filed wrong by accident, once it is accepted, you can being amending the return. If you truly do not owe, and file the amended one before April 15, 2021, then you would not need to pay the tax balance initially reported: How do I amend my 2020 TurboTax Online return?
       
• If neither was accepted, then fix one of the returns by first checking what you have reported for the stimulus payments.Only use one account going forward.
  • For the Recovery Rebate Credit, in the search box, type stimulus and click the Jump to link. This is where you report what you have received so far. If you qualify for the stimulus payments, then you will get it on your return. For more details, see: How will the second stimulus impact me?

I need  to add 3 children to my return.

What if the return was accepted? If I amend mine and remove the dependents, does their father have to wait until my amended return is complete to file them on his? He was rejected on turbo tax, I selected that we have agreement and he is claiming them but didn’t fully delete. If he mail his now, will it be rejected?

I need to correct tax direct deposit account number

[220mpat]

direct deposit information 

[AlanT222]

If you have already filed and your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change your bank account for direct deposit.

If you transferred your info from last year's return, TurboTax may prompt you to deposit your tax refund into the same account you used last year. You can easily edit the account info you wish to transfer your money into before you file.

If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 16 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

See this TurboTax support FAQ on amending a tax return originally completed and filed using the 2020 TurboTax online editions - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/amending/help/how-do-i-amend-my-turbotax-online-return/01/27577

The IRS Form 1040-X for amending a 2020 tax return is scheduled to be available on 02/26/2021 (subject to change)

[DaveF1006]

Hi I need to amend my 2020 taxes but when I scroll down to document and look for shoe there is no amend there at all or the word return where else can I go to start the amend process

[JohnB5677]

The IRS forms-availability article states that the IRS Form 1040X will be available 03/25/2021.

Some quick ground rules:

1. Be sure the original return was filed and accepted.
2. DO NOT go back into the return or change anything before you start the amendment process.
3. Gather everything you need before you start.
4. Complete the entire amendment process before you log out.
5. Starting with 2019 tax returns you can E-File a 1040-X amended tax return.  All prior years must be printed and mailed.

You can correct a return that you've already filed and had accepted.  Select the year that applies and use this guide to proceed.

Select your tax year for amending instructions:

• 2020
• 2019
• 2018
• 2017
