Since your return was accepted by the IRS, you must prepare, print, sign and mail an amended tax return form 1040X to add the child care expense. Depending on how much additional credit you would receive for the additional expense, you can decide whether the hassle of amending your return is worth it.
DO NOT change your original tax return until you start the amended return. If you have already changed it from the way it was originally filed and accepted, you must change it back before you start the amended return.
Wait until you receive the refund from your original return before beginning your amended return to make sure you enter the correct amount. The amended return form 1040X will not be available in TurboTax until mid February. It takes the IRS about 4 months to process and amended return.
