Can I file a form by mail after I have filed electronically?

What form do you want to mail? 

The e-filed tax return includes all the tax data from the all the forms you entered in the TurboTax program.

Can I file a form by mail after I have filed electronically?

If you have already filled your return, and you need to include a form that you missed in the original filing, you will have to amend your return.  

 

  • 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 amending.
  • 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
