Want to amend? First, make sure you really need to amend and that your 2019 return was accepted in TurboTax Online or paper-filed through the mail. You can't amend a return that hasn't been filed yet. Once you are certain that your return has been filed and accepted, read on for instructions on how to amend:
Three weeks after mailing your amended return, you can start tracking it at the IRS Where's My Amended Return? tracking tool. Please allow at least 16 weeks for the IRS to process your amended return.
Processing times for amended state returns vary from state to state. If it's been more than 12 weeks since you mailed your amended state return, and you haven't heard anything, we suggest you contact your state tax agency.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a 2019 tax return originally completed and filed using TurboTax - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-topics/help/how-do-i-amend-a-2019-return-in-turbotax/01/123845...
not helpful. it was completed in but not filed in turbotax. it was filed in a paper format
First of all you need to have the data file ending in .tax2019 on your computer even if you mailed it. Do you have that file? If you used the Online version you can download the .tax2019 file. Then you either install the 2019 Amend program or install the full 2019 Desktop program. You open the original .tax2019 file in the program. You might first have to download and install any state program you used.
Then If you don't see a button for Need to Amend a Filed Return? on your home screen then you can get to it here. Go to:
Federal Taxes -or- Personal (for H&B version)
Other Tax Situations
last section, Other Tax Forms
Amend A Return - Click the Start or Update button
