Since the IRS will not begin to accept/reject returns until January 26, you are going to be waiting in “pending” for awhile. Your return is sitting on a server, where you cannot fix it or get it back.

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 is scheduled to be available on February 19. The date is subject to change, so check on 2-19 to see if it is ready. Before that, do not change anything at all on your return.

If you originally prepared your tax return using TurboTax, you can amend it by logging into your account, opening the filed return, and clicking the link amend your return. The software will guide you through the necessary steps.

Important Note: The current version of TurboTax doesn't allow deductions for tips on overtime if those tips weren't reported on Form W-2, 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, or 1099-K.

If this applies to your situation, I recommend waiting for a software update before filing your amendment. Otherwise, you may proceed with the amendment steps outlined above.
