what happens after i amend my taxes after they have been amended

Please clarify. Did you file a second amended return after a first one?

 

If you amend your Federal Form 1040, TurboTax will create a Form 1040X and a revised complete return to go with the Form 1040X.

 

Before you can file an amended return, the original return will need to have been processed by the IRS (refund issued / payment processed). 

 

See here for more information on preparing an amended return with TurboTax and this help article for more information.

 

There are times when you should amend your return and times when you shouldn't. Here are some common situations that call for an amendment: 

 

  • You realized you missed out on claiming a tax deduction or credit.
  • You accidentally claimed the wrong tax filing status.
  • You need to add or remove a dependent.
  • You forgot to claim taxable income on your tax return.
  • You realize you claimed an expense, deduction, or credit that you weren't eligible to claim.

The IRS may take from 8 weeks to as long as 16 weeks to process an amended return. See this IRS webpage for more informaiton.

Form 1040-X becomes your new tax return.

 

Amendment #2 must be based on values shown on Amendment #1.

In other words, move 1040-X #1 Col C. into 1040-X #2 Col A.
