After you file
You have to amend your tax return to include that additional income. That means preparing a Form 1040X which must be mailed in--it cannot be e-filed. Do not mail the amended return until your original return has been fully processed.
How do I amend my 2019 TurboTax Online return?
A 1040X cannot be e-filed. It must be printed and mailed. It will take about 4 months for the IRS to process an amended return. It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.
Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:
