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 becomes available in late February, But wait until your return has been processed.

That is good advice from xmasbaby0

If your return is rejected, you can go directly back in and make changes.

If it is accepted, follow these steps:

On the Tax Home screen,
Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and
Select the Amend (change) return dropdown,
Then Amend using TurboTax Online.
(If you're told to amend your return via TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps for TurboTax Desktop instead.)
Continue through the screens, make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return.
