Yes, generally the amended returns start at $0. However, if there was an update either in the Federal or State law, or in the program, that changed the amount of your refund, then it could start with a different amount.
Check your saved or printed copy of your return as filed and compare it with any refund or balance due statement that you received.
To access your tax return after you've e-filed it, if using TurboTax Online:
- Sign in to TurboTax.
- Select Tax Home from the menu.
- Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
- Select 2024, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you back in).
You'll now be in your return. See this help article for more information.
If you need to change your return that was already e-filed, you would need to amend it, but wait until after the IRS has processed it.
There are times when you should amend your return and times when you shouldn't. Here are some common situations that call for an amendment:
- You realized you missed out on claiming a tax deduction or credit.
- You accidentally claimed the wrong tax filing status.
- You need to add or remove a dependent.
- You forgot to claim taxable income on your tax return.
- You realize you claimed an expense, deduction, or credit that you weren't eligible to claim.
