I need to amend my 2020 1040SR  for a line 30 adjustment. I agree with the IRS revision of total payments and credits. How do I proceed with turbo tax.

Humans, I just got off the phone with the IRS. If you received UI last year due to the pandemic and Turbo Tax sent you and emergency message stating you needed to amend your return due to the America First act UI changes- DO NOT DO IT. The IRS will automatically pay you the difference because the money comes from the bill. Turbo Tax only tells us to because THEY get paid double. Meanwhile, your refund will be held up for 16 weeks. Yep- 4 months. I’m so pissed off right now.

This is May 26 and still cannot amend my return.  Doesn't give option to amend yet.  Need to amend State for the Unemployment Tax I paid.  Wonder when will be available.

What does not work?

If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 16 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

One of my dependents was not given the EIC I need to Amend that

[0093]

I'm requesting for 2020 amend and can I get my copies to be send to IRS.

[0093]

How can I get the 1040X for the amend

[xmasbaby0]

@0093 Do NOT amend until your original return has been fully processed or you will delay processing for a longer time.

Select your tax year for amending instructions:

• 2020
• 2019
• 2018
• 2017

Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return.  During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six months or more for many amended returns.  Do not expect quick results from amending.  When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check.  They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns.  You can watch for information here:
