And....if you already e-filed and answered that question incorrectly and the return was accepted, you will have to wait until the return has been fully processed and then file an amended return. You should not amend while the IRS is still processing the first return.

How do I amend my 2019 TurboTax Online return?
A 1040X cannot be e-filed. It must be printed and mailed. It will take about 4 months for the IRS to process an amended return. It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.
Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:
