Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Hopefully you didn't use the current online product to file your 2018 tax return. It can only be used to file a 2019 return. If you used it to file 2018 and efiled it, the IRS may reject it. If they don't and it is accepted, you will now have to prepare, print and mail an amended return form 1040X to delete all your 2018 information and enter your 2019 information and then mail it to the IRS.
DO NOT change your original tax return until you start the amended return. If you have already changed it from the way it was originally filed and accepted, you must change it back before you start the amended return. Here is an FAQ to help you:
