Need to amend my 2016/2017 returns to include passive losses from rental prop. Forms 1040 and 8582 only. Can I just update those two forms?
No, you can't just update the two forms. An amended return has to be filed on a special form, Form 1040X. You will attach the modified Form 8582 to the Form 1040X.
Go to the following link for instructions to amend tax returns that you filed with TurboTax.
An amended return cannot be e-filed. You have to print it, sign it, and file it by mail. Mail the amended return for each year in a separate envelope. It takes the IRS up to 16 weeks to process an amended return.
