This happens frequently, and there is no reason to panic.
If you don't file an amended return,
- the IRS may send you a Notice of Proposed Increase in Taxes.
- This may take several months to get to you.
- They will calculate the tax due (plus interest and penalties) and you can send them a check (no amended return necessary).
If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been submitted, you should follow these guidelines.
- You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
- You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
- Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
- The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due.
- Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending.
- You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment.
