If you already filed, you would need to amend your return in order to add an item of income. As of now, the amendment forms are scheduled to become available on February 14, 2024.
There are times when you should amend your return and times when you shouldn't. Here are some common situations that call for an amendment:
- You realized you missed out on claiming a tax deduction or credit.
- You accidentally claimed the wrong tax filing status.
- You need to add or remove a dependent.
- You forgot to claim taxable income on your tax return.
- You realize you claimed an expense, deduction, or credit that you weren't eligible to claim.
See this article and this one for more information on filing an amended return with TurboTax.
