Yes , you can amend your tax return using TurboTax if your original return was down elsewhere. However, you will have to recreate the original return exactly as it was filed as part of this process.
You would first have to fill out a new return in TurboTax like you were doing it for the first time and hopefully come out with the same results as your original filed return. Then when it exactly matches what you filed and amounts are the same for every line on the 1040 tell TurboTax you want to file by mail and print out the original return so TurboTax thinks it was filed, then you can do the amended return.

What about for 2020? For 2020 tax year, is Turbo Tax set up where I can e-file my amended return if I submitted my original (and accepted) return on another website?
Can I amend a tax using a different tax site than the one I originally used?
2021
Can you please clarify your question, do you want to amend your 2021 tax return that you prepared in another tax software program in TurboTax?
The ability to amend a 2021 tax return in TurboTax will not be available until later in the tax season.
Can I do for 2022?
@Dinesh Garg Your question is unclear. What is it that you are trying to do?
I filed my 2022 return using freetaxusa but missed filing CA-568, can I file amendment using turbotax? If yes, how?
CAN I USE TURBOTAX TO AMEND IF THE RETURN WAS PREPARED SOMEWHERE ELSE?
If you did not use TurboTax to prepare your tax return, it is possible to amend the return using TurboTax but it will really be a pain. It would be better to use the software or service used to file originally. If a paid preparer made a mistake on your tax return, that tax preparer should do the amended return for you at no charge.
In order to use TurboTax to amend your return, you need to purchase the desktop software for the tax year and re-create the return EXACTLY as it appeared when it was filed with the IRS/states. Every line has to be the same. Then you have to "trick" the software into thinking you filed by saying you will mail the return. (but do not mail it) AFTER that, you use the software to prepare a Form 1040X, which has to be printed, signed and mailed to the IRS. It takes the IRS about 6 -9 months to process an amended return
