So does that mean that I would need to pay for a TurboTax desktop version first?  I would prefer to first go through amendment calculations using TurboTax to determine that it's actually worth filing an amendment to get some additional refund back. What if the difference is negligible, and it's not worth buying a desktop version? Is there a way in TurboTax to run through calculations first before spending any money?

Thank you!  I do owe quite a bit for the Premium Tax Credit.  Should I simply pay that now or would that just confuse the IRS since I've paid all other taxes owed?  So for example, let's say I owed $40,000 (and paid it) on the 1040 that was filed and accepted but without the 8962.  Then I added the 8962 in TT and owed another $10,000.  If I make that $10,000 payment what will the IRS do with it since there is no 8962 and an updated page 2 of the 1040 that shows the additional $10,000 for  PTC?

Both California and New York use your total income to figure the tax for you as a resident or non-resident.     So since the only reason you are amending is because you are changing your federal residence status then you won't need to amend NY or CA because unless your actual income changes they have already figured your tax based on the original information you entered.     @user123450 

Thanks again! When it comes to state taxes, I had to submit taxes for CA and NY. Would I need to amend my state taxes considering the following? 1) CA taxes: I wasn't a resident in CA, so I included that information when filing with turbotax and turbotax told me I'd life as a non-resident. Does that mean that I'd have to amend my taxes? I'm not sure if Turbotax and Sprintax provide different tax forms for state taxes 2) I was assigned as a part-time NY resident by turbotax. In that case, would I have to submit an amendment?

You sure can. 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 Select your product below and follow the instructions.  Amend TurboTax Online  Amend TurboTax CD/Download

If the -3,241 Loss is already on your return, you don't need to amend.   You said in the original post that they were not included on your tax return, but then you say the loss was recorded.      Are you talking about 1256 contracts?   Those get entered in the Contracts and Straddles section of TurboTax.     

@riadassi    A lot of things affect the amount of tax that you owe. You can't rely on that to indicate whether you are getting the foreign earned income exclusion. You have to see if Form 2555 is included in your tax return, and whether the exclusion appears on Schedule 1 line 8d. Note that the foreign earned income exclusion excludes the income only from income tax. Since you are self-employed, you still have to pay self-employment tax. Depending on other things in your tax return, it's possible that the amount you owe is just self-employment tax. That could be why the exclusion does not change the amount that you owe. Your income tax is on Form 1040 line 16. Self-employment tax is on Schedule 2 line 4, and is included in the amount on Form 1040 line 23.
