Did you already file? If not, you still have time to correct the issue. What happened? Please provide details.

If you already filed, you will need to amend your return to correct any errors. Here's how:

Sign in to TurboTax.
Scroll down to Your tax return & documents (you may need to select Show), select 2019 and then Amend (change) return.
- If you only see the option to amend 2018 or earlier, it's because you can't amend an unfiled 2019 return. Instead, just select Pick up where you left off, make your changes, and disregard the rest of these instructions.
Select Amend using TurboTax Online.
Carefully follow the instructions. Don't worry if your refund changes to $0. This is normal on amended returns.
When finished, we'll give you instructions for printing and mailing your amended return, as amendments can't be e-filed.

Three weeks after mailing your amended return, you can start tracking it at the IRS Where's My Amended Return? tracking tool. Please allow at least 16 weeks for the IRS to process your amended return.

Processing times for amended state returns vary from state to state. If it's been more than 12 weeks since you mailed your amended state return, and you haven't heard anything, we suggest you contact your state tax agency.

I should have been a little more descriptive. I did what I believe to be correct. My question is what if I missed something or didn’t do them right. We have always had to pay and this year we didn’t. So I am convinced I have done something wrong. And this is the first time I have ever done our taxes.
Thank you

If it turns out you missed somethng in your returns you simply correct it. Should the IRS happen to find that you may have missed something they will just send you a letter showing you what they saw and ask if you agree or not. They will explain how to proceed either way.
