The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/25/2026
You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 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.
See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-curr...
The amendment form 1040X will only be available in TurboTax after 2/25/2026.
If you are expecting a refund, we recommend that you wait to amend until after the IRS has processed your original return and you have received your refund.
To amend your tax return, please read this TurboTax article.
I've been waiting for February 25th to arrive so that I can file my amended return. The website still says the functionality is not yet available. What is the updated estimate of when I can file my amended 2025 return?
@matneybw The current estimate for the Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 tax return is 03/04/2026
I agree, my first time amending and this is crazy. I just need to amend one section. It’s now 2/25/26- d still not working
@user17720404610 The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 03/04/2026
Not until the IRS updates the Form 1040-X instructions for tax year 2025 can TurboTax provide a 2025 Form 1040-X.
Current IRS Form 1040-X instructions are for tax year 2024 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040x.pdf
IRS Draft Form 1040--X instructions for tax year 2025 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/i1040gi--dft.pdf
They literally said 2/25 what the heck why does it keep changing
I was able to use tool n start process but this is ridiculous it dong let u submit until 3/4/26 to efile says not ready still smh never again will I use turbo tax
This is now the 3rd 'estimated' date that has come and gone and it's still not available. I literally just need to amend ONE QUESTION on a dependent's $0 return so I can file my own as HOH. Is this realistically going to be available before tax day passes?
Yes, it will. You won't be able to file an amendment until your tax return is fully processed and you receive your refund or your balance due is deducted from your account. In addition, the 1040X used to amend your tax return isn’t available yet but should be ready by the end of next week.
Refer to the TurboTax articles: Amending Your Income Tax Return and How to Correct Federal Tax Returns for additional information.
Once you file your amendment, you can check the status of your amended tax return at Where’s My Amended Return?
Never again will I use TurboTax.
The amount of times I’ve called and was given different responses by different agents. I need to remove a dependent so the other person is waiting on me to amend and I am waiting on TurboTax to allow me access to the tools. I’ve been given so many different dates after paying to expedite the refund (which was already deposited and updated on the IRS website and TurboTax since mid February) I still have to wait. February 25th came and went…the access is still nonexistent. The last rep on the phone said TurboTax tells their ppl a certain date to calm them down, but it usually delays and is never accurate. Thanks for the confirmation never to use this service again.
Unfortunately, the amend process (Form 1040X) has now been delayed until March 4, according to this availability table:
