Re-import after amending my last years return

[bkark]

Turbo Tax for PC … While doing our 2024 income tax using TurboTax, at the “final” summary it showed that we made about $9,000 more than I expected. In reviewing our 2023 vs 2024, I notice that I put the wrong entries from our social security SSA-1099’s box 5 in the “2023” forms for both of us.  So i corrected and amended our 2023 return and mailed them today. I have not filed the finished 2024 this years return. We are 2 weeks from April 15, but have completed them in TT.

Q…Does last year’s return affect this year in anyway?

Q…If so … Will I have to redo 2024 from the start? Or can I re-import the amended return?

Q…Can I file 2024 NOW? before 2023 is excepted? They say it can take up to 12 weeks to be accepted? I did send them certified mail. Thanks, with two weeks to go I am slightly panicking

We don't know if it will affect 2024 but if you only changed SS it probably won't.  Did it change line 6b or change the refund or tax due?  Did you take the Standard Deduction or itemize on schedule A?

No you can't import the amended return into 2024 without starting over.  

You can efile 2024 now without waiting for 2023 amended to process.   You will need to enter the AGI from the original 2023 return.

Thanks VolvoGirl for your reply, but i still have 2 questions,

It change line 6b.

I owe more to Federal and paid it with the amended return.

I take the standard Deduction.

QUESTIONS >>> So I will be starting over. importing the amended return.

Won't the proper AGI transfer from the amended return?

OR do I need to put the Original (First) AGI?

If you're Efiling your 2024 return, it will ask for last year's AGI in the FILE section (to identify you to the IRS).  Use the AGI amount from your original 2023 return, since your amended 2023 return has not been processed yet.

Hi MarilynG1,

Thanks for the reply,

Note though, TurboTax never asked me my AGI in the e-filing process.

Thanks BK
