Once a tax return has been filed it cannot be changed, canceled or retrieved You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return. If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again. If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. 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. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.     If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed   The Form 1040X you need becomes available in late February,  But wait until your return has been processed.

Sorry, Long Explanation:  Desktop Mac user.  I spent a couple of hours with TT Technical Support yesterday regarding this issue.    Under Wages and Income, I used the Less Common Income / Misc Income / Other Reportable Income (was for a UK Pension).  Entered the requested brief description & taxpayer amount.    As a 25+ year TT user, I've had this same deduction for many years, with no problems.   I previewed my return before submitting, and since on the Federal Form, Other Income with description looked ok, I submitted my returns.  Within an hour it was rejected by the IRS.  The code more or less indicated that there was no 'explanation' of what the 'other reportable income' was.   When I went back & checked: Schedule 1, Line 8z, the 'Other Income, List Type & Amount', I saw the figures had populated, but the  required 'List Type' (UK Pension) had not.     The first person I spoke with (1/2 hour) didn't really understand, plus she was having issues with the screen share.  She then disconnected me.   Calling back, I was able to get a Level 1 tech who did know her stuff.  She spent another 45 minutes w/me, checked w/her supervisor and had me try other ways to get it to populate on Schedule 1.  No luck.  She then transferred me to a Level 2 Tech, who was extremely arrogant and told me to 'print it out, write it in & mail it'.  Really?  He then said it would be 'escalated' and I'd receive an email w/case #, etc.  I asked him for the case # & some type of ID that could reference who I spoke with.  Nope, and no email with above.   Anyways, here we are today and not sure where I'm going to go with this as it's obviously a bug in the software.
