The best thing you can do is compare what is showing in the program to what was actually filed. This will help you determine where the difference arises from and help you determine if you need to file an amended return or not.
Instructions to download tax returns
You can preview what is shown in TurboTax by viewing your tax summary.
- Go into the black panel on the left and select Tax Tools.
- Then select Tools beneath Tax Tools.
- A "Tools Center" box will pop up, select "View Tax Summary"
- You will see a screen that gives a snapshot of your taxes based upon your input so far.
- Click on the black panel on the left bar and select Preview my 1040
- This will allow you to review your overall line items on your federal tax return. Compare these amounts to your actual tax return for 2020 as filed to help you determine why there is such a large difference from year to year.
After you review the above items, simply select "Back" in the black panel to get back to the interview forms.
Once you identify where the changes are from, you can determine whether an amended return is needed or not. Please see the links below for additional guidance.
