After you file
If you need to amend your federal return in TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps below:
- Open the TurboTax Desktop software for the year you're amending. For example, you must amend your 2023 return in the 2023 version of TurboTax.
- Under Need to Amend a Filed Return?, select Amend a Filed Return.
- Select Amend for the return you need to amend. If the return you need doesn’t appear as an option, select Find a Tax File to find and load the return.
- On the Do you need to change anything else screen, select Update next to the info you need to change.
- Continue through the screens, make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return.
- Don’t forget to select Save As (or Duplicate on Mac) from the File menu when you save a copy of your amended return. This will preserve the tax return you originally filed. Give the file a different name from the original, like [tax year]_amended_tax_return_Smith.
