If you need to amend your tax return to add a Form 1099-R that was not included on your original tax return, you must wait until your return is fully processed and you have received your refund before preparing and filing your amended tax return.
If you mailed your tax return, you will have to mail your amended return as well.
You can use the IRS tool, Where's My Refund to track your refund. If you mailed your tax return, it could take 6 to 8 weeks for your tax return to process.
Once your tax return is fully processed, to amend your return using TurboTax Online you will:
- Log in to your TurboTax account.
- At your homepage, look for "Your tax returns & documents" and select the correct tax year.
- Then you will select the "Amend (change) return" dropdown and in the dropdown choose "Amend using TurboTax Online".
- Follow your prompts, and select your reason for amending.
- Make your corrections (add your Form 1099-R information).
Make sure to review your return before filing and then follow the prompts to e-file (if you e-filed your original return only) or print and mail Form 1040-X to the IRS.
You will be able to track your amended return using this link Where's My Amended Return? on IRS.gov.
