After you file

You should wait till 3/26 to fill out the amendment form 1040X in the TurboTax program.  Please note that you only need to file if the result creates a difference in the refund or the tax due.  If the result remains the same, you do not need to file.

 

Beginning with the 2019 tax year, you can e-file amended tax returns. If you used TurboTax to prepare Form 1040-X, follow the software's instructions to e-file the amendment.

How to file amendment

 

 

Please be aware that the IRS limits the amount of time you have to file an amended return to claim a refund to:

  • Within three years from the original filing deadline, or
  • Within two years of paying the tax due for that year, if that date is later.
