After you file

Yes, you are able to access and file an amended return at this time (Form 1040-X).  You will want to do this before April 18th, in case you do owe tax.

 

Yes, the IRS will catch it but it will be much later (could be as long as two years) when the documents are reconciled with the tax return. If there is any tax due, there will be penalties and interest for late payment if you wait.

 

Be sure to read all the instructions carefully so that TurboTax knows the original numbers and the changed numbers for your amendment.
