Amend only if you need to make a change to a return you have already filed.  Wait until you get your refund or have paid your taxes. Have a copy of your original return at your side before you start. And be sure you use the correct year’s software of TurboTax. You must file a separate Form 1040-X for each tax return you are amending. Amended returns can take more than three months for the IRS to process. Gather your original tax return and any new documents needed to prepare your amended return. Print a copy of your return that you are amending and have it ready to refer to.  Use the same TurboTax account you used to file your original return.  Be sure to only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending.   Click here for how to file an amended return.   Click here for additional information on Form 1040X.
