Tax Year Prior to 2020: Received form 1099-c but I filed my taxes already and recieved my refund.

I used turbo tax online and already filed my taxes and got my refund. then i received form 1099-C in the mail.  There is no place on turbo tax online for me to add this form, but i don't want to have to pay for turbo tax again just to amend my return. how do i use the downloaded version of turbo tax without having to purchase again?

You will need to amend your tax return to show the 1099-C since the IRS will be receiving a copy of it as well.  Amending is done on Form 1040X.  

Amended returns have to be printed and filed by mail.  It can take the IRS up to 12 weeks or longer to process them.   If you are due a larger refund than on your original return, your amended return should only show the difference and you will receive a separate check for it.  If you owe money on your amended return, it will show only the new amount owed, you will have to mail a check with the return.
