We used Turbo Tax Home Business 2016 (downloaded program) to file return. Now need to file amended. How do I import all the info so I don't have to re-enter everything???

I have my completed 2016 return but there's no option in the program to import it.

First of all check your efile status in the original return,
Open your return and go to FILE > Electronic Filing > Check Electronic Filing Status

Then when it knows you have filed the first return save it with another name so you don't mess up your original return.  Go up to FILE - Save As

Then to Amend,  It's under Federal Taxes Tab or Personal for H&B/Self Employed version

Thank you, but there's actually no option in the software to amend it. That's my issue--the amend option isn't there.

I don't think the Mac program has the JUMP TO search feature.
