[Beachgirl73]

Someone else submitted my 2019  Form 1040 on 4/15 tax return without my knowledge or consent. Now I must amend it, need to know which form to use to take @250 teacher deduction for purchasing classroom supplies?

There is not an additional form, this is an adjustment to income.

If you filed, it is like dropping it into a mailbox - you cannot get it back.

You'll have to wait until your return is either accepted or rejected.

• If rejected, you can make any necessary changes.
• If accepted, you'll need to amend your return. 
• To avoid unnecessary delays, do not amend until your original return has been fully processed.  You will need to print and mail the amendment.  
• Allow 8-12 weeks for processing.

See this TurboTax FAQ for help with amending.

You can check the status of your amended return here, but allow 3 weeks after filing for it to show up.
