Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Did you have trouble efiling it?  I have seen posts from people saying they can't efile the amended return from the Desktop program.  To amend in the Desktop program.....

First you need to update your original return with the filing status so it knows it was filed and accepted.  For the Desktop program you have to check the filing status inside the program.

 

Open your return and go up to menu item

File > Electronic Filing > Check Electronic Filing Status

Then save your return.  Then close and reopen the program.  And then update the program before you open your return, go up to Online- Check for Updates.

And before you amend you should have saved a copy of your file so you have the original.  Go up to File-Save As and give it another name.
