To amend your 2020 return there are a few things you need to know before you can start the amendment process:
- To amend your 2020 return, you need to use the same TurboTax account that you used to file your original 2020 return.
- If you don’t see your 2020 return under Your tax returns & documents on the Tax Home page, you might be in the wrong account. Use our account recovery tool to find all of your accounts.
- Make sure you really need to amend, and that your 2020 return was accepted in TurboTax Online, TurboTax CD/Download, or paper-filed through the mail. You can't amend a return that hasn't been filed yet.
- You'll need to paper file your amended return since TurboTax doesn't currently support e-filing an amended prior-year return.
