If you do amend your federal tax return, you should do it with the same software that you used to file the original return, TaxAct. The amended return uses the original return as a starting point. If you amend your return with TaxAct your original return is already there. To prepare an amended return with TurboTax, you would first have to recreate your original return in TurboTax, making sure that it exactly matches the return that you filed, then amend the recreated return.
Don't file an amended return until your first return has been processed and you have received the original refund.
