Amend 2020

The TT Software defaulted to Single though I was HOH. Why can I not amend my return to adjust my filing taxes electronically. This is ridiculous. They still have not finished processing my return. I also had to add a form.

do not file an amended return until your return is fully processed. filing before then can add months to getting any additional refund owed to you.

I have been waiting months and my return is not processed. Accepted 2/11/21. Ridiculous. No refund and no stimulus and no update. waiting more than 21 days

The POST OFFICE is taking forever. The IRS is taking forever. I need to amend my filing status. If your software would not default to SINGLE I would not have all these headaches.

If you were eligible for Head of Household filing status, the program would have asked you a series of questions after you entered a dependent on your tax return to determine if you were qualified for the HOH filing status.

You dont have sister in law so I selected other and it changed my filing status. I was later told to select sister which is not accurate. Sister In Law is a qualifying dependent. She has no income and I support her full time. What is the issue why can't the drop down be accurate to avoid all this mess. SO YES I am Head of Household and should be able to fix this electronically. IRS delivery in Texas is TERRIBLE.
