Its upto TurboTax to charge for Standard deductions Tax return (No State return, Texas).
However all the information is already there, Its just that they have to click Submit to IRS.
Note: There is no change in Tax return or tax entry, Someone has to just need to send amendment with the same information from the Original return
First, how is the data already in Turbotax? You said you filed with a different web site.
Second, if your return is simple and you qualify for free filing, then it is possible to prepare the original return for free.
But, amending is still a problem. If you prepare an original return and then try to submit the same return as an amended return, Turbotax will refuse, because there will be no changes. And you can't just mail the IRS another copy of the original return, they will discard it. You need to include a form 1040-X, which acts like a cover page that summarizes the original return, amended return, identifies the changes, and calculates the tax owed or refund due. But you can't use the original return as a basis, because the amended return will show no changes. You have to use the return that is on file with the IRS after they disregarded your spouse and child.
You might be able to do that manually. If you can obtain a transcript of the adjusted return, and you can understand it correctly, you can manually create a 1040-X where column A is the original return as adjusted, column B is the correct return. and column C shows the difference (extra dependent credits and a refund, presumably). Then add an explanation, sign and date the 1040-X and the full tax return, and mail them in.
But Turbotax can't prepare an amended return for you unless the original return that Turbotax has on file matches your first return after adjustments.
