You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it. It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner. The IRS does not allow you to take it back.

If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.” The changes will go nowhere.

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return. If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.

If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund. THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally. You will need to use a form called a 1040X.

Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself. Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

The Form 1040X you need will not be available until late February.

Before amending your return you will need to wait until such return has been accepted by the IRS. You can amend a return only after it has been filed and accepted by the IRS. E-filed returns are considered filed when you have received notice from the government that your return has been accepted. If your return has been rejected, it is not considered filed.

Mailed returns are considered filed the date you post your return.

When you are ready to amend, you can access your previously filed return, in TurboTax online, from the TurboTax home page. Scroll down the screen to the section Your tax return & documents. If you have used TurboTax CD/download, then you can amend your previously filed return by selecting OtherTax Situations, and then scroll down to Other Tax Forms.
