What do I do if I made a typo on the name of my tax return form? Do I need an amendment form to correct it? My return has already been accepted. What should I do?

If the typo affected the computation of your return, you'll need to amend. 

Please see the TurboTax Help article "Do I need to amend?" to see what circumstances might trigger the need for filing an amended return.

However, if it was a simple typo and the IRS accepted your return, you probably don't need to take any action.  The IRS has verified the information that it actually needs to process your return.
