@shaiannsnoww - You can always amend if necessary but be sure that you need to amend. Warning! The IRS usually make these types of corrections automatically based on information they have on file already. So wait until your return has been processed before you file an amended. To file an amended before that will cause additional delays.
From your description, it sounds like you did not receive Advanced Child Tax payments for your daughter and that you filed and still did not receive the correct amount of Child Tax Credits for your daughter.
This does not sound like the dependent is properly entered on the tax return because TurboTax will automatically prompt you to questions that would calculate the allowable credit.
However, since you have filed already, allow that return to process and you receive your refunds etc before amending. There is a good chance that IRS will catch the error and make the corrections and issue you the correct refund without requiring you to amend. If at that time you are still required to amend. Follow the steps below.
o amend a prior-year return, select its tax year below for specific instructions. (Note: the option to amend a 2021 tax return will become available later in the tax season.)
Wait until you receive your refund to amend. If you owe, you can amend e-filed returns if they've been accepted and paper-filed returns after they've been mailed.
Once you begin the amendment process, you'll see your original return. Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending. The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund (or tax due).
You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment.
