After you file

The IRS Form 1040-X will be ready on TurboTax on March 25, 2021.

 

First, make sure you really need to amend and that your 2020 return was accepted in TurboTax Online or paper-filed through the mail. You can't amend a return that hasn't been filed yet.

 

When you're ready to amend, find your situation below and follow the instructions.

  1. Sign in to TurboTax
  2. Scroll down to Your tax returns and documents, select 2020, then Amend (change) your return
    1. If you only see the option to amend 2019 or earlier, it's because you can't amend an unfiled 2020 return. Instead, just select Pick up where you left off.
  3. If Form 1040-X isn't ready, you'll reach the screen It looks like your federal return can't be amended right now. Your best bet is to sign up for email notification.
  4. Carefully follow the instructions. Don't worry if your refund changes to $0. This is normal for amended returns.
