You are amending your 2023 Federal income tax return.

 

If you used TurboTax Online, log in to your account and select Amend a return that was filed and accepted.

 

If you used the CD/download product, sign back into your return and select Amend a filed return

 

Report the correct Social Security under Wages & Income and Social Security (SSA-1099).
