Do not send any estimated tax payments as indicated by @Critter-3. For 2021, the estimated tax payments cannot be made. You will send any tax due with your amended return, of if filed electronically, with a voucher that TurboTax will provide, or direct debit to your bank account.
It is very important to pay any tax due as soon as possible to reduce the interest and penalty for late payment. It must be paid once the amended tax return is complete.
To amend 2021 taxes you would go back to the tax year 2021 software you used to prepare your original return, either TurboTax Desktop or TurboTax Online Account (Documents on left hand menu).
- Simply log in to your account, (TurboTax Online) then select to 'Amend a return that was filed and accepted'.
- If you used our CD/download product, sign back into your return and select “Amend a filed return.”
TurboTax knows about the spreading of the 3 years by you electing this on the software program. It specifically asks if this was a "Disaster Distribution", you would answer yes and follow the guided steps for both your amended 2021 return and your original 2022 tax return.
Tax Tips
- You must file a separate Form 1040-X for each tax return you are amending.
