Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Update your banking information by selecting File from the lefthand menu, and follow the on-screen prompts to re-enter your correct account details. 

 

Generally, you should wait until your original tax filing was accepted by the federal and state authorities before attempting to amend your returns. FAQ guidance:

What should I know before amending my return?

Here are some things to know before you begin:

  • Make sure you really need to amend.
  • Wait until your return has been accepted (or mailed if paper-filing).
  • Use the same TurboTax account you used to file your original return.
  • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending. The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due.
  • Any changes you make to amend your federal return will automatically be transferred over to your state return.

Verify that the the federal taxes paid in box 4 on your 1099-G has been typed in correctly, and round the amount up to the nearest whole dollar value (without cents on the end) if necessary.
