Supposedly amending will open on February 19. However, you should wait for the IRS to fully process the original return, and first receive your refund (if applicable) before amending. In the meantime, do not make any changes in the original return. It has to start off exactly like it was filed when you begin the amending process.

If you amend a Federal return, you may also have to amend the state return.

@ talithabrown1

You're welcome. But, unfortunately, not long after I gave you that date above last week, they moved the date back a week. Now amending is expected to be available either late February 25, or more likely early February 26.
