You generally have three years from the date you filed your original return or two years after the date you paid the tax, whichever is later, to amend your federal taxes.
As per xmasbaby0 above, you must wait until your return is fully processed and you have received your refund before preparing and e-filing your amended tax return.
Once your tax return is fully processed, to amend your return using TurboTax Online you will:
- Log in to your TurboTax account.
- At your homepage, look for "Your tax returns & documents" and select the correct tax year.
- The you will select the "Amend (change) return" dropdown and in the dropdown choose "Amend using TurboTax Online".
- Follow your prompts, and select your reason for amending.
- Make your corrections
Make sure to review your return before filing and then follow the prompts to e-file or print and mail Form 1040-X to the IRS.
You will be able to track your amended return using this link Where's My Amended Return? on IRS.gov.
