When amending your return, you should wait until your original return has been accepted and approved and you have received your refund. This will help remove any delays from the IRS when processing the amended return. Once you amend, the counter will reset to $0, and when you enter the corrections, if any additional refund is due, it will be indicated on the counter. When you file your amended return, when it is accepted, and you are set to receive a refund, an additional refund will be issued.
If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.
- You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
- You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
- Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
- The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
- Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
- You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
