If you want to change or correct some info on a prior-year tax return after you've filed, you may need to amend your return. Here are some things to know before you begin:
- You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment.
- Make sure you really need to amend.
- Wait until your return has been accepted (or mailed if paper-filing).
- Use the same TurboTax account you used to file your original return.
- Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending. The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due.
- Any changes you make to amend your federal return will automatically be transferred over to your state return.
