After you file

As it appears you have already started amending your return, we need to know the steps you took to amend your return.  Because you are using TurboTax Premier desktop, TurboTax recommends that you take these steps to amend your return. 

1. Open your TurboTax 2021 software (you must amend your 2021 return in the 2021 version of TurboTax)
2. Select Amend a filed return, located near the bottom of the homepage
3. Select the return you wish to amend, then Continue
4. On the Did you already file your return? screen, select Yes, I've already filed my return and then select I need to amend my 2021 return
5. Select Continue. Don't worry if your refund changes to $0. This is normal for amended returns.
6. On the next screen, select Update next to the info you need to change, then follow the onscreen instructions until you reach the screen Do you need to change anything else?
   • If you need to make more changes, repeat Step 6. When you’re done making changes, select Done 
7. Carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return
8. Don’t forget to select Save As (Mac: select Duplicate) from the File menu when you save a copy of your amended return. This will preserve the tax return you originally filed
   • Name the copy you're saving so that you can distinguish it from the original, for example as 2021_amended_tax_return_Smith
9. You can e-file your amended federal return in TurboTax, but only some states allow you to e-file your amended state return. We’ll walk you through the filing options for your state at the end of the amendment process.

Note:  Any changes you make to amend your federal return will automatically be transferred over to your state return. If you’re already amending your federal, you don’t have to make any changes to your state, unless you’re making state-specific changes.

Follow-up with additional information as appropriate.
