The TurboTax amend process for 2022 will be available soon. When it's ready, you can e-file your 2022 1040-X. Please see this Help Article for more information.

Thank you! Turns out I am still able to go in and modify my existing return so I'm using that and will save another copy.

I received another 1099 form after I filed my taxes, should i change my taxes now to reflect these changes or what is the process? If I have changed my tax form already should i change it back to what it was originally? I have received my federal and state tax return already

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.

@xmasbaby0 is correct, this information cannot be changed at this time and you should wait until the return is either accepted or rejected. If your return is rejected, you will be able to modify before you resubmit.

If your return is accepted, you can amend, or correct, your return if the original entries were incomplete. There is no additional charge to use Turbo Tax to amend your return but you will need to wait until the IRS finished processing the original return. You do not want two copies of your return there at the same time and sometimes they make adjustments. They might even catch the late Form W-2 based on their copy of the form from your employer. Many, many people receive tax forms after they file, so the IRS is used to amendments for this reason. It is very normal for them.

This is a TurboTax Help article with some Do's and Do nots of amending.

You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
