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 ‌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.
