We filed already but then was told we could have claimed the payments for our daughters college tuition. Can we do an ammendment? If so how?

Don't make any changes until your tax return is fully processed, which means you have received your refund or if you have a balance due, it's deducted from your account. If your tax return is pending, don't make any changes. 

 

Follow the instructions below to prepare your amendment:

 

  1. Open TurboTax.
  2. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and select 2023 for the year you want to amend.
  3. Select Amend (change) return, then Amend using TurboTax Online.
  4. On the screen OK, let's get a kickstart on your 2023 amended return, select The IRS or state sent me a notice 
  5. On the next screen, select Something Else and Continue.
  6. On the screen Tell us which 2023 return(s) you want to amend, select 2023 Federal.
  7. TurboTax will guide you through the screens to prepare your amendment.
