After you file

File an amended return if the IRS accepted your return and you owe additional tax. The longer you wait, the more penalty and interest will accrue.

 

It may be a while before the IRS corrects your return if it’s been accepted.

 

If you used TurboTax Online, simply log in to your account and select “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.”

 

See How to Correct Federal Tax Returns and How do I amend my federal tax return for this year?

 

If the IRS bills you for penalty and interest after they accept your amended return, you can file for first-time penalty abate.

 

See Penalty Relief due to First Time Abate or Other Administrative Waiver.
