Please clarify your question by adding some additional information so we may better help you. Such as; What products do you want to update or add? How do you want to update them? Do you need to upgrade/downgrade  your product? Are you using TurboTax Online or a Desktop product?

Since we can't see your tax return in this forum, if you're using TurboTax Desktop, go to FORMS and look at your Schedule D to review the amounts.  You can see more detail on these numbers on Form 8949, which lists each transaction.  Each transaction will have a Capital Asset Sales Worksheet associated with your 1099-B entries.    In TurboTax Online, after you pay for your return, you can save/print a PDF copy with worksheets to review these forms.  If you can share more details, we'll try to help.   @wielager       

You may entered an amount incorrectly or answered one of the questions wrong.  Go back and review information you entered for the home sale.   If you sold your primary personal residence and you lived in and owned the home for at least two years in the five year period on the date of sale, you do not have to report the sale if your gains are less then the exclusion amounts of $250,000 if filing Single or $500,000 if filing Married Filing Jointly (and both lived in the home for two years). If you had a gain greater then the exclusion amounts then you would have to report the sale. Also, if you received a Form 1099-S for the sale either with a gain or a loss, the sale has to be reported. You will need the online TurboTax Premier or Self-Employed edition to report the sale if you are using the online editions. Make sure that you indicate that you want the sale of the home reported on your tax return.   Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business) Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business) Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Scroll down to Less Common Income On Sale of Home (gain or loss), click the start or update button

As per xmasbaby0 mentions above, you must wait until your return is fully processed and you have received your refund before preparing and e-filing your amended tax return.     Also, if the IRS corrects your tax return to include this interest income, you will not have to amend.  You will receive a Notice from the IRS if they make a correction (likely a Notice CP2000).  You only need to file an amended return if the IRS didn't catch the error and you need to pay additional tax, or if you disagree with the IRS's calculation.   You may be able to see beforehand if they are sending you a notice by accessing your IRS.gov Online account . You can use this link to access/create an online account Online account for individuals.   Once your tax return is fully processed, to amend your return using TurboTax Online you will: Log in to your TurboTax account. At your homepage, look for "Your tax returns & documents" and select the correct tax year. The you will select the "Amend (change) return" dropdown and in the dropdown choose "Amend using TurboTax Online". Follow your prompts, and select your reason for amending. Make your corrections, and make your corrections (add your interest income). Make sure to review your return before filing and then  follow the prompts to e-file or print and mail Form 1040-X to the IRS.    The IRS has a tool to determine if you should amend your tax return that provides some valuable information  Should I file an amended return?   You will be able to track your amended return using this link  Where's My Amended Return? on IRS.gov.

SALE OF HOUSE   If your gain was more than  $250,000 filing Single, or more than $500,000 filing Married Filing Jointly the sale must be reported on your tax return.  Whether you re-invested the gain in to another house is irrelevant.  If you  have a Form 1099-S go to Federal>Wages and Income>Less Common Income>Sale of Home (gain or loss) If you owned and lived in the home as your primary residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years on the date of the sale, you do not have to report the home sale if the gain is less than $250K filing Single, or less than $500K filing Married Filing Jointly (and you both owned and lived in the home for at least 2 years).   If you are using online TT, you need Premium software to report the 1099-S

Similar but will not save because it is a "read only". I've attempted to rename 5 different ways. It will not accept.   Exact message: We couldn't save this file because it is "Read Only" or part of a "Read Only" file, such as a CD. Error: 567812   I opened my previously saved return from a couple days ago-not a "read only" file.
