I went ahead and finished my taxes and e-filed a couple of days ago.
Today I noticed that I made a mistake.
I understand that I need now to file 1040x.
Is this something that TurboTax will do? or do I have to submit the form along with the extra money I shouldn't be receiving?
I can send a check now with the difference.
What are your suggestions?

WAIT for the IRS to fully process your original tax return. Then you can amend. Sending in an amended return while they are still working on your first return can just cause confusion and delays.
Yes, I will wait.
I guess my question was whether I can use TurboTax (desktop Premier) to file an amendment after the first submission is processed.
I don't see a way of doing so, I may have to do it separately.
Wait.....but yes, you can use your desktop software to amend when you are ready. You will go to Other Tax Situations---it is one of the choices on the top of your tool bar at the top of the TT screen when you have the program open----then scroll down that page to Amend a Tax return.
Do not amend until the original has been fully processed. Amending too soon can cause confusion and longer delays.

If you want to track the status of your amended return, use the IRS Where's My Amended Return? tracking tool. Allow at least 16 weeks for the IRS to process your amended return.
