    What form do you want to mail? 

    The e-filed tax return includes all the tax data from the all the forms you entered in the TurboTax program.

    If you have already filled your return, and you need to include a form that you missed in the original filing, you will have to amend your return.  

     

    • You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
    • You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
    • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. 
      • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
      • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending.
    • You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment

    For more information on amending a return and steps on how to amend your return, see the TurboTax help articles below:
