@Chrys1 Awhile back several of us attempted to help you understand why your Social Security was taxable, and thought our efforts had explained it clearly to you. But it seems you are still having issues with this. On August 10 you were still posting that you have not yet received your refund because it is in the errors department. Sadly, there are millions of refunds that have been delayed. Any return that requires a human to look at it is being delayed since the IRS is so severely backlogged.
If your return is under review and you have not received your refund yet, do not amend your return. Putting an amended return into the system while the IRS is still working on your original return could cause even more delays and confusion. And...you do not say why you think you need to amend, or why you think it would cost you $250 to amend. TurboTax does not charge you again to amend your tax return. The only time there is a fee to amend is when amending requires an upgraded version of the software from whichever version you used to prepare the original return---it could not cost you $250 even if you had to upgrade to a different version.
Do not amend your tax return. Wait for the IRS to finish processing the return you filed earlier in 2021. When you have finally received your refund, only then should you try to amend----and only amend if you truly need to change something that was incorrect or incomplete on the original tax return.
