  1. Open your return.
    (To do this, login to TurboTax and select the Take me to my return button.
  2. Select Federal on the left, and then Deductions & Credits at the top.
  3. Now follow the screens to enter more deductions.
  • You may see options to either have TurboTax Guide me (walk you through each possible type of deduction and you can enter info when it's relevant to you), or see a list of all tax breaks, and you can select from that list to enter deductions relevant to you.
  • If Rejected, you can simply re-open your return and follow the steps above to add more deductions.
  • If Accepted, you'll need to Amend your return. To do this, login to TurboTax and scroll down to the Your tax returns & documents section; locate the section for 2017, and select the Amend button. Now follow the on-screen instructions to add more deductions and amend your return.
