Yes, you will need to add a Form 1040-X. It's not the right time to amend a 2025 tax return. You will need to indicate it is an amended return however the amended Form 1040-X will not be available until later in the season. The IRS is not in the habit of taking amended returns this early. Use the link below to check periodically for the release date. You may want to change your return back to the original return so that your amended return knows the changes.
If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.
- You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
- You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
- Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
- The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
- Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
- You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
