After you file

You may not need to correct it. The amended return would only report the change. Can you please clarify your question? Are you saying that there is nothing shown on Column A Line 7 of Form 1040-X? Nothing should be in Column B or C for Line 7, but you should see the Credit listed as Originally filed.

 

If you do not have anything listed in Column A, revisit the stimulus payment section to verify that the input there is still the same.

  1. Go to the search box and enter stimulus. Click the Jump to link.
  2. Answer Yes.
  3. At the next screen, Let's double-check the amount you received, answer No to edit the first-round and second-round amounts.
  4. If no stimulus amount was received, enter 0. An amount must be entered in each box. When finished, click Continue.

The amended federal return can be e-filed, but only Georgia, Michigan, New York and Vermont state amendments can be e-filed. Otherwise, the amended state return must be paper filed. TurboTax will provide the directions.
