how do I amend a return within 24 hours of filing

[Shaun Chooi]

Hi, 

I missed reporting the correct amount on the return I filed just now.  Can I use Turbo Tax to correct this mistake?  If so, how soon can I submit the amended return to the IRS?

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.
