Amending a federal return

If you used the TurboTax online editions for tax year 2021 you only need to sign back onto your online account to amend the 2021 return.

 

To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

 

Start the 2022 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

 

On the Tax Home webpage -

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Amend (change) return

 

If you used the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions you will need to start the 2021 TurboTax program on your computer and then amend the 2021 tax return.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-a...
