I need to add to my 2020 return, I submitted with Turbo Tax a few days ago. Is there anyway to make changes to the return since the IRS is not yet accepting returns?

I didn't realize that I was submitting my return. It seems the site has changed and I misunderstood and submitted in error.

Wasn't it a big orange button that said Transmit Returns Now?  Or does it think you filed by mailing?  If you did not submit the efile then you haven't filed yet.  What does you account say?

If you did efile...

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you e-filed.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return. Which won't be until Feb 12 this year. If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and add or change it and resend it. Click on Add a State to let you back into your return..

If the IRS accepts your return, then you have to wait until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or paid the tax due. THEN you can prepare an amended tax return 1040X and mail it in. You cannot e-file an amended return.  Meanwhile, DO NOT change anything on your return until you start the amended return. If you did change or add the missing info then take it out and put your return back to the way it was when you first filed it.

Thanks, that is what's confusing me. I remember in years past that I had hit to hit submit button. I don't recall seeing the button, I was just wanting to save and finish later. Here's what is says when I followed the link you suggested.

James, you e-filed your 2020 federal tax return on January 20th at 5:54 PM.
