Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

To navigate to amend your 2024 return, go back into TurboTax, open the return that you already sent in, and on the first page you see, click on the link to amend your return.

 

  • You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
  • You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
  • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
  • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
  • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
