Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I know how to manually update. The point is that if this is not an error, what changed to go from R48 to R84.1? Do I need to install 2018 and update it to this weird R84.1 to find out whether I need to file an amended return or not?


Many form updates mainly.     If you already filed and were not waiting for a missing form then there is probably no reason to update  (unless you just want the software to be current in case of future needs or amendments).   If you need to amend then you would need to update since the IRS recently updated the 1040X form.   If there was a problem that might have affected the tax on an already filed return then you should have received an email from TurboTax  suggesting that you update and amend to correct the error.
