After you file

It is likely that filing the missing document will reconcile the difference to what the IRS has calculated you owe. 

 

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 will likely see the difference as an additional amount due. 

 

If the IRS calculated properly based on the missing information, the result should be the same. It does not hurt to retrieve the document and enter it on an amendment to compare the results. If it matches, and the IRS does not request an amended return, you can just pay the amount due. If the results do not match, you may want to contact the IRS and file the amended return.

 

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
