No, it's too early to amend your 2023 tax return. You have to wait until after February 15, 2024 to amend your 2023 tax return.

 

If you are trying to amend a prior-year return and  you filed using TurboTax Online:

 

  1. Sign in to TurboTax.
  2. On the home screen, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and select the year you want to amend.
  3. Select Amend (change) return, then Amend using TurboTax Online.
  4. Carefully follow the directions to start your amendment.
  5. On the screen OK, let's get a kickstart on your amended return, select the reason(s) you're amending and Continue.
  6. When you reach Here's the info for your amended federal return, select Start next to the info you need to change.
  7. Continue through the screens, make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return.

 

If you used TurboTax Desktop Edition (from a disc or download installed on your computer):

 

 

  1. Open the TurboTax Desktop software for the year you're amending
    For example, you must amend your 2022 return in the 2022 version of TurboTax.
  2. Under Need to File an Amended Return?, select Amend a Filed Return.
  3. Select Amend for the return you need to amend.
  4. On the We’ll help you change (amend) your return screen, select Continue.
  5. Select Yes, I’ve already filed my return.
  6. Choose the option that best applies when asked Tell us a little more about your amend situation and Continue.
  7. On the next screen, select Update next to the info you need to change.
  8. Continue through the screens, make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return.
  9. Don’t forget to select Save As (or Duplicate on Mac) from the File menu when you save a copy of your amended return. This will preserve the tax return you originally filed.
  10. Give the file a different name from the original, like 2023_amended_tax_return_Smith
