If your return got rejected for any reason, you can return to the program to edit information along with other changes and re-submit it. For instructions, click here Fix a reject 2019. You do not need to file an amendment 1040-X.
If your return has been accepted, you will have to amend by filing a Form 1040-X. Click here for instructions Amend 2019. Please note that the 2019 Form 1040-X is not available until 2/26/2020. Please come back later. Also, be aware that you should not try to amend your return until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or your payment has cleared. If by editing the information does not change the refund or amount you owe, you do not need to submit the amendment.
