If you have already filed, it is similar to dropping your return in the mailbox. You cannot retrieve or change it. You will need to amend your return. Should you have to amend, follow the steps below:
- Log into your TurboTax account
- Choose the tax year that you wish to amend
- Click Amend
- Make any necessary changes
Keep in mind that when you are amending, the refund tracker monitors the difference from your original filing to the amended return. It does not include any original refund or balance due. If you are claiming any previously unclaimed income, you may see the difference as a balance due. The 1040X for 2019 amended returns is expected to be available on February 20, 2020.
