Forgot to add 1098-E form to my taxes

If you filed your return then you will need to see if your return gets accepted or rejected.

 

  • If your return has been rejected by the IRS, all you will have to do is make the changes on your return and refile.
  • If your return has been already accepted by the IRS, you will have to file an amended return (1040X) to make add form 1098-E. But you might want to wait until your refund or payment is processed. The IRS will only accept amended returns via mail.

 

The 1040X form for 2019 hasn't been approved yet by IRS. Please, keep checking the following information on how to amend your return; it will be updated once the 2019 form is released:

Forgot to add 1098-E form to my taxes

i received a 1098 and 1098-e form after my 2019 returns were filed.  i have already received my refund.  should i file an amended return once the form for 2019 amendment is available?

 

Thanks.

Yes, you should amend your return to add in these new forms. Read on for instructions on how to amend:

  1. Sign in to TurboTax.
  2. Scroll down to Your tax return & documents (you may need to select Show), select 2019 and then Amend (change) return.
    • If you only see the option to amend 2018 or earlier, it's because you can't amend an unfiled 2019 return. Instead, just select Pick up where you left off, make your changes, and disregard the rest of these instructions.
  3. Select Amend using TurboTax Online.
  4. Carefully follow the instructions. Don't worry if your refund changes to $0. This is normal on amended returns.
  5. When finished, we'll give you instructions for printing and mailing your amended return, as amendments can't be e-filed.

 

Three weeks after mailing your amended return, you can start tracking it at the IRS Where's My Amended Return? tracking tool.  Please allow at least 16 weeks for the IRS to process your amended return.
 

Processing times for amended state returns vary from state to state. If it's been more than 12 weeks since you mailed your amended state return, and you haven't heard anything, we suggest you contact your state tax agency.
