I filed incorrectly looks like (Single instead of Head of Household). My Federal was accepted. Can I make this update now? The website says not until Feb 16th.

I'm worried I'll receive money before I have the chance to update.

The form 1040x needed to amend your federal return is estimated to be available on February 23rd. For forms availability, please click here.

Thanks, @BrandiLO1 ... the issue is I'm estimated to receive my refund on Feb 16th. Will this mess up needing to change from Single to Head of Household on an amendment? Is there a way to block the refund for now? Thanks!

No, it won't interfere with your proposed change from Single to Head of Household. And no, there is no way to stop your refund.

Following up on the comments from BrandiL01, there is no way to amend your return now as Form 1040X is not yet available in TurboTax. However, when Form 1040X is available, just log back into your account and respond accordingly to the questions about needing to change something on your return.

And....are you sure you can file as Head of Household? When you entered your information and answered the questions about your qualified dependents, the software should have offered HOH if you qualified.

If you qualify as Head of Household, when you enter your marital status (single or married filing separately) into MyInfo, and then enter your qualifying dependent, TurboTax will offer HOH as your filing status.
