Wrong income amount entered from W2 - already e-filed :(

I entered the incorrect amount from the W2 and didn't catch till after I e-filed, and it was accepted. The refund barely would cover the Turbotax filing fee. Correcting the income amount changed from getting a refund to needing to pay. (Very small amount, $6, but still an issue)

 

Now what?

Since you have already submitted your 2020 tax return electronically and your tax return was accepted, you will need to amend your tax return.

 

Unfortunately, the IRS has not yet released Form 1040-X and it is not available. Because availability dates are subject to change, you can monitor and track availability below:

 

IRS forms availability table for TurboTax individual (personal) tax products

 

State forms availability table for TurboTax individual (personal) tax products

 

When you the forms are available to amend your tax return:

 

  1. In TurboTax, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
  2. Select Show and then select Amend (change) return, and then Amend using TurboTax Online. (If you don't see Your tax returns & documents, select Tax Home on the left.).
  3. Select the reason you’re amending and follow the instructions.

Thank you so much for the information! That explains why I couldn't find a way to amend 😜
