After you file

You asked several questions:

Did this on accident this year. What happened with yours? 

These are not tax questions

Did you have to amend or just verify?

You may receive a tax notice requesting additional information.

However, if your taxes are accepted, you will have to amend them.

Did they process your return without having to amend to get your return released first?

The IRS may process the return, but you will get a tax notice 6-8 months later.  You will then owe interest and penalties.

Or did you have to amend in order to get your refund?

Refund or if you owe, you should amend your return with accurate information.

If your return is rejected, you can go directly back in and make changes.

 If it is accepted, follow these steps:

1. On the Tax Home screen, 
2. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and 
3. Select the Amend (change) return dropdown, 
4. Then Amend using TurboTax Online.
5. (If you're told to amend your return via TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps for TurboTax Desktop instead.)
6. Continue through the screens, make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return.
