After you file

While the IRS has just started processing returns for the 2019 tax year, submitting your return is similar to dropping it in a mailbox. You cannot cancel or retrieve it. If the IRS accepts your return, you will have to amend it and include the Form 8862. Amended returns require paper filing. If they reject your return, you can simply make the necessary changes and resubmit. You will need to check within the next 24-48 hours for the status.

 

Should you have to amend, follow the steps below:

  1. Log into your TurboTax account
  2. Choose the tax year that you wish to amend
  3. Click Amend
  4. Make any necessary changes

If you need to add a 1098-T, click on Deductions & Credits, then under Education, choose Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T). Enter the information as requested on the screens. Keep in mind that you cannot take education credits if you are a dependent on someone else's return.
