Amend tax return

It depends.  You can wait for the IRS to request your W-2 information which may take some time. Or, you can choose to amend your return when it's available.  Use the information below to amend if you choose to do that.

• IRS code 570 may be seen when there is a hold on the processing of your tax refund due to information that the IRS has flagged for further review. Subsequent correspondence will be sent to you, noting the specifics of the hold, and if any measures need to be performed by you.

There could be many reasons why the amended return may not be ready yet, including the IRS systems. 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. 

By using the link, Tax Forms Availability, you can continue to check to see when it's ready.  Be sure to review all the instructions before you begin so that TurboTax knows the original information and the changes.

• 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
