Amending Returns for 2019

skcdec1228 — Tue, 18 Feb 2020 01:27:20 GMT

Does anyone know when the option to Amend our tax returns will be available with Turbo Tax for 2019? All it tells me as I check everyday, is to check late February. When is that? The last week of the month? (And YES my return was accepted by both Federal and State. In fact, I have already received my Federal return).

I just logged into my account and when I click 2019, it tells me that option is not available, to check back in late February.

This is what I see when I look at my account:

Amending is for adding new tax forms or making changes to your tax return. Not sure?

We'll help you get this done! You can amend your return using either Turbo Tax Online (recommended) or Turbo Tax CD/download.

Amending on Turbo Tax Online is not available for 2019 yet. Check back in late February.

It will be available to print in late February because you have to mail in an amended return.

Please review the following article for more information.

Ok thank you! I knew I was going to have to mail it in, but I just wanted to know when the option to fill it out on Turbo Tax would be available.

I have the desktop version of 2019 TurboTax. When will that software be updated to include an amending returns option?

Re: Amending Returns for 2019

It is currently scheduled for February 26, 2020 but that is subject to change. Please see the below TurboTax FAQ for more information on IRS Forms Availability:

Never mind.

I found the answer on the "Other Tax Situations" tab, under "Other Tax Forms".

can you amend on the desktop or cd version of turbotax for 2019?

Re: Amending Returns for 2019

If you used the TurboTax CD/download product, sign back into your return and select “Amend a filed return.” You must file a separate Form 1040X for each tax return you are amending.

I read that you have to mail in an amended return. Then why does the IRS website have a way to pay on an amended return if you owe?

Re: Amending Returns for 2019 - BEWARE of apparent BUG

OldBigSteve — Sun, 08 Mar 2020 15:41:52 GMT

BEWARE!!! I tried to amend a return I just filed because I got an amended 1099-INT. The first thing TT did after selecting my tax file was say I owned $25 before I amended anything. That number should be $0. I called TT and after 7 hours of talking to various people who really don't understand what is happening or how TT works I was repeatedly disconnected when they got stumped. I talked to 5 or 6 people who appear to be TT technicians (push this button or that button). I pursued the problem further on my own and found that the amended 1040-X return (without amending anything) changed my reported income by $95 and tried to change it to what I originally reported on my filed 1040. It then calculated an erroneous original refund (not what I reported) and tried to correct that by saying I owed another $25. LOOKS LIKE A BUG IN THE PROGRAM! Wish I could talk to someone at TT who understands how it is supposed to work so we can have an intelligent discussion about what is going on and correct it.

i had prepared the amendment for my 2019 tax return with Turbo Tax online, and submitted a paper 1040X and sent via mail to IRS in July 2020. I am yet to get an update from IRS or even an acknowledgement. when i enquire on their hotline, i get a standard response that 'there is no update available'. i am wondering if i can use Turbo Tax online and efile the same 1040x for 2019. if not possible, should i sent the paper 1040x by mail again to IRS?

Until your amended return is processed by the IRS, you may see there's "no record found." That actually means the return's still being processed. Your amended return can remain in this status for several days or even longer, especially with the IRS filing delay and backlog this tax season.

Please check the IRS article Where's My Amended Return? for updates.

aparajita-c — Tue, 16 Feb 2021 22:26:06 GMT

Thanks. Its been close to 8 months since the amended return was mailed to IRS...thats way beyond the 16 weeks that IRS typically takes to process. Is it possible for me to efile the same 1040X using TurboTax online?

Yes, you are able to e-file 2019 federal tax returns, you can e-file your 1040X. However, since you already mailed your 1040X, you cannot efile it. You would need to contact the IRS for the status of your amended return. Their phone number is 800-829-1040. When calling, be sure to have the following:

Your Social Security Number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
Your filing status (Single, Head of Household, Married Filing Joint, or Married Filing Separate)
Your prior-year tax return (they may ask you questions from it to verify your identity)
A copy of the tax return you’re calling about
Any letters they may have sent you
Paper and pen to take notes—make sure to write down the day you called and the name and ID number of the agent you spoke to, as well as any instructions or deadlines you were given.

Thanks. I cant seem to get to an agent at IRS who can respond to my query. I get walked through the automated options and get the same message: 'my amended tax records are not currently available'. would you know the options i need to select to get to an agent I can speak to? Thanks again for your help.

Please use the following prompts to contact the IRS.

You can call them at 1-800-829-1040. There is a high call volume.

When calling the IRS do NOT choose Option 1.

Choose Option 2 after you choose the language.

Then Press 1

Then Press 4

Then Press 2, it will then transfer you to an agent.
