Did you use TurboTax to prepare your original return?
Did you already prepare the amended return? Or do you need to know how to prepare and file one?

An amended return cannot be efiled. It has to be printed, signed, and mailed.

For what tax year are you amending?

What product are you using--Online 2018 TurboTax or desktop software (CD/download)?

If you are amending a 2018 return, were you due a Federal refund with your original return, and if so, have you received the refund yet?

I presume you used Online TurboTax for the 2017 return. Have you located the *.tax2017 data file in your online account, but when you try to download it, is access locked, and it asks you to pay? If so, the method to unlock it depends on what all you have done for your 2018 return. Please answer all 3 questions below:

1) What is the story on your 2018 return? Have you started one in Online TurboTax but have not yet filed?

2) Is your 2018 return in Free Edition or a higher edition?

3) Are the 2017 and 2018 returns in the same account?

We can tell you the steps to acquire the *.tax2017 data file so you can amend it when you answer all 3 questions above.

You'll also need the 2017 free amend software, if you haven't already downloaded it.
