If the IRS accepts the first return you filed, but it has errors, then you will need to submit an amended return to fix the errors after that return has been processed.
There are times when you should amend your return and times when you shouldn't. Here are some common situations that call for an amendment:
- You realized you missed out on claiming a tax deduction or credit.
- You accidentally claimed the wrong tax filing status.
- You need to add or remove a dependent.
- You forgot to claim taxable income on your tax return.
- You realize you claimed an expense, deduction, or credit that you weren't eligible to claim.
See this article and this one for more information on filing an amended return with TurboTax.
See this tool for information about the availability of forms in TurboTax. As of now, Form 1040X for amended returns is projected to become available on February 13, 2025, subject to change.
