I need to amend my taxes. I know it takes a while. But do you have any idea when it will be made possible to amend?

Its been already 3 weeks since I filed my taxes. How long before amend will be made available?

Your answer does not help. Clearly you didn't read the text. I know where to find the amend on TurboTax website. So, on the TurboTax website, it says about 2 weeks for an amend can be filed. Also, that if there are new updates, it can take longer. Its been over 3 weeks since I filed. I am asking, how much longer will it continue to take for you guys to finish so I can amend? Your quick to take someone's money, but you dont care to respond to someone's question properly.

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.

Sometimes—not always— the IRS corrects your mistakes, while they are processing 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 26. The date is subject to change, so check on 2-26 to see if it is ready. Before that, do not change anything at all on your return.
