You have up to three years from the due date of your return to amend or change something that was reported on your original return.  It is understandable that you want to get it taken care of as soon as possible.  However, due to the many changes in the tax laws that have been passed recently, the TurboTax program is still being updated.  

 

Take a look at the following TurboTax article for more information and click the link in the article to register your email address so that you will be notified when you can come back and amend your return:

TT can amend Federal returns now.  See this:

Just be aware that, when TT (or any software company) make a programming change, the IRS must approve it before it can be released.
