Please clarify if you have already filed your return or are you currently working on it so we can give you proper instructions.

We have already filed our taxes and have received a refund.  We did not realize my wife Business taxes/loss had to be included in our federal taxes.   We are now trying to amend our federal tax return to include her business.  How is this done?  Most of the reporting for the business will be for loss.  Hasn’t really got off the ground yet.

 To add Schedule C after you’ve filed your tax return, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Sign in to TurboTax
  2. On the Tax Home screen, scroll down and select Your tax returns & documents
  3. Choose the tax year you wish to amend and select Amend (change) return
  4. Answer the questions about your amendment
  5. Select Add Schedule C
  6. You’ll be able to add self-employment income and expenses
  7. Update any other info in your return. Continue through the screens and TurboTax will guide you to file your amended return. 

For more information, refer to the TurboTax article How do I amend Schedule C after I’ve filed my return?

 

Refer to the TurboTax articles: Amending Your Income Tax Return and How to Correct Federal Tax Returns for information on amending your tax return.

 

You can check the status of your amended tax return at Where’s My Amended Return? once it's filed.
