Here's how to re-open your unfiled return if TurboTax thinks you are finished:
- Log in and go to your 2016 Tax Timeline.
- If TurboTax thinks you are finished, there will be no orange "Take me to my return" (continue return) button.
- So in that case, scroll down to "Some things you can do."
- Choose "Add a State." (you don't really add one; that's just to get the return to open up.)
- Once the return is open, you can continue working on your return.
NOTE: Do NOT use this method to open a return to make changes/edits to an
already-filed return (one that has actually been mailed or efiled.) If you later need to make changes to an already-filed return, you have to
go through the formal amending process, and your return must start off
exactly as originally filed.
