Why will it not let me amend my return?

[Outtops]

Hello! 

I made a mistake regarding my Roth IRA contributions. I've received my notice but cannot click the option to amend despite having completed the paperwork. The amount due is incorrect and due in a week. What are my options?

I see that an amendment can not be made to my 2023 federal return until it is processed by the IRS.....in March if that is correct.   I already had a printed voucher showing that I owe $115.   The original return said refund of $190.  Do I send that back with the voucher at the same time?  I see back and added a form SSA 1099 that I originally forgot when I submitted my return.  Thanks

@Sahara17 If you are issued a refund from the original tax return, you keep the refund. 

When completing your amended return the amount of the refund you received will be included on the Form 1040-X.  If your amended returns shows that you have taxes owed, you only pay those taxes.

The IRS Form 1040-X for tax year 2023 is scheduled to be available in TurboTax on 02/14/2024.

You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.

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.

It is best to wait to see if your return is accepted or rejected.  If it has been accepted, you should wait until your return is processed before making any changes. It is possible that the IRS will catch the missing SSA 1099 and send you a letter telling you that you owe them instead of processing the refund.  It is also possible that they will not catch it.  If they don't catch it and process the refund for $190, you will actually need to send them $305 back (the refund plus the $115)

So basically, hold tight until your return is processed.  Then if need be you can amend your return.

I need to amend my 2024 taxes as they have been rejected. The problem is I forgot to check the box that I can be used on another persons tax return. I need to check that box but can not find how to get into my return to do it.

@08252006 If your return was rejected because you need to say you can be claimed as someone else's dependent, then go to MY INFO and click your name.  Go though the interview screens to the question about whether you can be claimed as someone else's dependent and change your answer..  Then try to e-file again.
