After you file

If your amended state return shows that you owe nothing and are not receiving any additional refund, it does not mean that you are not receiving any refund that was due on your originally filed tax return.

Amended returns have to be printed and filed by mail. It can take the IRS up to 12 weeks or longer to process them. If you are due a larger refund than on your original return, your amended return should only show the difference and you will receive a separate check for it. You will still receive any refund that you were due from your original tax return, or if you owe, you will still need to pay that amount.  If you owe money on your amended return, it will show only the new amount owed, you will have to mail a check with the return.

Please be aware that Form 1040X will not be available to prepare in TurboTax until  mid-February , but once it is available, you will be able to prepare and print your amended return so that you can mail it to the IRS.

Please see the following TurboTax FAQ for instructions on how to amend your 2016 tax return in TurboTax.
