@xmasbaby0 If you are asking me what happened while completing returns in TurboTax, when it came to deductions, TubroTax software had a roughly a statement, "Looks like you had standard deduction last year" and I clicked standard deduction and never got to itemize my deductions. That was in error - last year, I did submit itemize my deductions but had not used TurboTax so not sure why it was suggesting standard deduction for me. This is my first year using TurboTax.
I was not able to find anyway in TurboTax to correct a return that was already submitted. Federal got accepted quickly so I figured that would now definitely need an amendment if it qualified. The CA State was pending but unable to find any option to retract to correct - limited options. And that could be because I submitted both together, I'm guessing.
Going back to my original question, the tax returns have been accepted -both now (Federal and California State), I would like to amend my returns by changing from standard to itemize deductions but was hoping to find out if it qualifies for an amendment and if one form (1040-X) can address both returns, and the recommended time to this this at. I may now need to wait for IRS to process completely.
