I want to file with TurboTax, how do I file an amended return, I never filed with TurboTax before

If you are saying you need to amend your original return, you can do that with TurboTax. Fill out your tax return exactly as it was before the amendment. Select to file by mail to finish the return. Next you can use the link below to file your amendment, but it will likely have to be mailed since you did not e-file with us originally.

After your enter your original return, do not change your tax return until you read all the instructions. TurboTax needs to know the original numbers and the corrected numbers to provide the correct end results before you prepare it.

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. 

• 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

Amend a tax return for the current tax year

If you filed a 2025 tax return with freetaxusa and it was accepted by the IRS, you cannot file a 2025 tax return using TurboTax since a return with your SS number has already been received by the IRS.

You cannot file two tax returns.   If you already filed a tax return with Free Tax and it was accepted for processing by the IRS, you are done.  You cannot file again.   Your next attempt to e-file will be rejected because your SSN is already in the system.

When you filed the original return with Free Tax, did your tax form show a refund on line 35a or did it show that you owed tax due on line 37?   Did you make mistakes on that return?  Why did you use TurboTax to try and file another tax return?

CAN I USE TURBOTAX TO AMEND IF THE RETURN WAS PREPARED SOMEWHERE ELSE?

If you did not use TurboTax to prepare your tax return, it is possible to amend the return using TurboTax but it will really be a pain.  It would be better to use the software or service used to file originally.  If a paid preparer made a mistake on your tax return, that tax preparer should do the amended return for you at no charge.

In order to use TurboTax to amend your return, you need to purchase the desktop software for the tax year and re-create the return EXACTLY as it appeared when it was filed with the IRS/states.  Every line has to be the same.  Then you have to "trick" the software into thinking you filed by saying you will mail the return. (but do not mail it)   AFTER that, you use the software to prepare a Form 1040X, which has to be printed, signed and mailed to the IRS.  It takes the IRS about 4-6  months to process an amended return

Why do you need to amend your original filed return?   And why do you want to use Turbo Tax?  And you shouldn’t amend until the first return is done processing and the IRS sends you the refund or you pay the original tax due.
