The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/19/2026   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.

If you received no income of any kind in 2025 then there is no need to file a 2025 tax return.   Unless you also received a Form 1095-A for your health insurance through one of the State Marketplace Exchanges or from healthcare.gov then you must file a tax return.

If Social Security is your ONLY income, you do not even need to file a tax return unless you had tax withheld from your monthly benefits or if you have a 1095A for marketplace health insurance.      Or...do you have some other kind(s) of income besides the Social Security?   Who has to file? http://www.irs.gov/uac/Do-I-Need-to-File-a-Tax-Return%3F
