Can a person modify already printed returns before mailing forms?

[AndreaC1 · Accepted solution]

Yes, if you have not yet e-filed or mailed the return, you can go back in and make changes before filing. 

You can get back into your return using the steps here below:

• Log into your TurboTax account and click My TurboTax at the top
• You should be on the Tax Timeline now
• Scroll down to SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO section
• Click Add a state (not really adding one, just a way to get back into return) 
• And make the changes you need to

Thanks for the help. That was the 2019 solution. Now it seems not working now. Any suggestion on how I could modify the form for the return not yet mailed. Thanks a lot.

Sign onto your TurboTax online account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down and click on Add a State.  This will take you back to the 2019 online tax return.

I cannot get this to work.  1) It takes me to the interview for the new state and I don't see anywhere to access the forms or add new forms.  2a) It also seems to automatically identify the action as an amendment, and 2b) as an amendment it doesn't give me the original but calculates a new total as if it was a new return.  Then I get a new total refund that is the old refund less the new tax due, but 3) when I print as pdf the changes don't appear, it is just the same previous return.  Clearly I am confused.  Any help is appreciated.

Hi, did you find a solution to this problem? I am having the same problem

I'm having the same issue for my 2020 taxes.  Cannot edit a printed but not yet mailed return.
