Need help amend my 2020 tax return

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 did my taxes n it said I'm getting nothing bk I owe no one I worked 8 months I qualified for both checks I efiled n all it said done taxes and printed but hasn't given me my refund amount I don't understand 

I need to correct tax direct deposit account number

direct deposit information 

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)

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

Some quick ground rules:

1. Be sure the original return was filed and accepted.

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.

Hola!

My broker amended the 1099 after I submitted and paid my taxes. I create a copy of my return in the desktop version an update the 1099, The outcome is less taxes owed. $30 in Federal Tax and $7 in State tax.

Is it absolutely necessary to amend my return? (since I paid a little bit more than I should?)

If it is absolutely necessary, how can I do it from the desktop app?

Thanks in advance!

If the corrected 1099 resulted in lower taxes, there isn't any reason to amend - unless you want a refund.

The IRS requires you to report your income. You reported more income than actually received, so you met the IRS requirement .

It is even possible the IRS will catch the change in income (lower) and send you a notice proposing a lower tax. This would happen later in the year, when the IRS matches their copies of 1099's to what you reported on your return.

You can amend the return using a desktop version of TurboTax.  See: How do I amend my 2020 return?

Hello - I had initially submitted my 2020 taxes Feb 25th, accepted by the IRS.  The Refund status has not changed from "being processed".  I had put that I had not received the 2nd stimulus check (looked for the $600 amount, didn't see it, but did receive the stim check, just different amount).  So did an amendment (rec'd 2nd stim in Jan2021).  When I'm in Turbo Tax (desktop version) I see a changed refund amount from the original.  So print the amended return (can't seem to e-file the amended return?).  It still has the original refund amount.

I am not sure now what to do.   At this point or even if the IRS has my information.  "Where's My Refund" on irs.gov is still showing the original refund amount and "still being processed".     When I log into irs.gov and look at Account Status it says "Your 2020 Tax Return Is Not Processed"

There doesn't appear to be anyway to fill in a form, talk to anyone at the IRS.  All numbers I have go to recorded prompts.   So freaking out a bit.

Help!

And thank you. 

You do not need to amend your tax return to correct a stimulus payment misstatement. The IRS will make that correction and notify you of the changes.  Here is a link with more information. 

Thank you.  No need to do anything else?  Everything still sits at "still processing" my return.   Is it now just a waiting game with the refund and the IRS due to the pandemic, staffing, stimulus payments, etc?

And thanks again.

That is correct. 

The IRS will make any adjustments and send you a letter in the mail explaining any changes once they have finished reviewing and processing your tax return.

well i filed my taxs for 2020 tax refund and i never recieved anything i was suppose to recieve 4385 then i got letters saying i have a balance saying i owe then i got something saying i should get a refund i am very confused and i pay for yall services i need help asap

Have you registered online or ordered a transcript by mail or fax to see the status of your 2020 tax return?  See this IRS website.

In April 2021 the IRS had 29 million tax returns held for manual processing.  As of December 10, 2021, the IRS had 6.2 million unprocessed individual returns.  It sounds like you were included in these numbers.

Unprocessed individual returns include tax year 2020 returns with errors and those returns requiring special handling, including those that required correction to the Recovery Rebate Credit amount and other tax credits.
