The TurboTax online editions are only for tax year 2025 and cannot be changed.   To complete and file a 2024 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2024 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/   A 2024 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.   An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
