I need to amend my federal return due to receiving student loan interest statement late. When I go online to do that, I follow the steps but it won't let me complete it without filing my state return and I don't want to file my state return through Turbo Tax. Can someone explain how I would complete the amendment?

Follow these steps and it should work -

 

If you filed, it is like dropping it into a mailbox - you cannot get it back.

You'll have to wait until your return is either accepted or rejected.

  • If rejected, you can make any necessary changes.
  • If accepted, you'll need to amend your return
  • To avoid unnecessary delays, do not amend until your original return has been fully processed.  You will need to print and mail the amendment.  
  • Allow 8-12 weeks for processing.

See this TurboTax FAQ for help with amending.

You can check the status of your amended return here, but allow 3 weeks after filing for it to show up.

I don't even know how to print it. It doesn't give me that option.

I already received my federal return.
