Get your taxes done using TurboTax

 

Since you have already filed  you will need to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes and re-submit your return.  If the IRS accepts your return, you MUST wait until it has been fully processed and you receive your refund or have paid your balance due.  You will need to prepare an amended tax return on a 1040X and mail it in. You cannot e-file an amended return.  They have to be mailed, and it takes about 16 weeks for the IRS to process an amended return. In the meanwhile, DO NOT go in and make any changes to your return. 3 weeks after you mailed your amendment, you can start tracking its progress at the IRS  Where's My Amended Return?  site. Instructions can be found here (amending becomes available mid-February:(  

The amend form will be ready for you in mid-February. Check back at this time if you would like to amend your 2016 return.
