You
MUST wait for the original returns to be accepted or rejected before doing
anything. Then you will efile or mail your return as soon as your girlfriend's Amendment is completed with the IRS.
If the returns are rejected you can make the needed
changes then resubmit them.
If the returns are accepted you MUST wait
until they have been fully processed and you have either received the original
refund or paid the original balance due before amending them.
Follow these instructions to amend:
- Sign in to TurboTax and make sure you've
selected Tax Home on
the left side of your screen.
- If you
don't see this, click or tap the 3 white lines in the upper-left corner
to expand the menu.
Under Your tax returns & documents, select Amend (change) 2017 return.
Carefully
follow the onscreen instructions and don't worry if your refund changes to
$0. This is normal on amended returns.
When
finished, we'll give you instructions for printing and mailing your
amended return, as amendments cannot be e-filed.
3 weeks after mailing your amended
return, you can start tracking it at the IRS Where's My Amended Return? tracking tool. Please allow at
least 16 weeks for the IRS to process your amended return.
Processing times for amended state
returns vary from state to state. If it's been more than 12 weeks since you
mailed your amended state return, and you haven't heard anything, we suggest
you contact your state tax agency.
You can check the status of your Form
1040X, Amended
U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, using the Where's My Amended Return? online tool or by calling the

return.
