The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 03/04/2026

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.

TurboTax Easy Extension is now available. You can file an extension by going to Free federal tax extension is now available

If your original return showed a refund due, make sure you have received your refund BEFORE you file an extension.

Filing a tax extension allows you to avoid late-filing penalties; however, filing a tax extension doesn’t give you more time to pay your taxes.

The previous post on this thread states "An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed." What does this mean for me, when I have already e-filed and need to file an amendment (looks like a late-arriving W2 will cause me to owe nine more dollars).

@ItsMe-Jeremy Since you e-filed the original tax return you will be able to e-file the 2025 amended tax return, Form 1040-X, at any time on or before October 15, 2026.

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.

You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. 
The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
