    In TurboTax, you can amend your state return without filing an amendment for your federal:

    1. Sign in to your TurboTax account.
    2. Under “Your tax returns & documents”, select Show to open a list of options.
    3. Select 2020 and select Amend return, then Amend using TurboTax Online.
    4. Select the reason you’re amending and continue.
    5. Answer the questions about your federal return, even if they don't apply. You'll eventually get to the screen “Let's get started on your state taxes”.
    6. Keep going and we'll present you with the option to amend. In some states, this appears right at the beginning; in others, it appears towards the end of the state interview.
    7. When finished, we'll provide printing and filing instructions for the amendment. Your state may take several months to process it.
