If you filed, it is like dropping it into a mailbox - you cannot get it back. 

You'll have to wait until your return is either accepted or rejected. 

  • If rejected, you can make any necessary changes. 

  • If accepted, you'll need to amend your return.   

  • To avoid unnecessary delays, do not amend until your original return has been fully processed.   

  • You can e-file your 2020 amended federal tax return, but most states require amendments to be printed and filed by mail. 

  • Allow 16 weeks for processing. 

See this TurboTax FAQ for help with amending. 

You can check the status of your amended return here, but allow 3 weeks after filing for it to show up.
