   • If you don’t see your 2021 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.
2. Make sure you really need to amend, and that your 2021 return was accepted in TurboTax or paper-filed through the mail. You can't amend a return that hasn't been filed yet.
