Found Additional Tax Form After Filing

Hello, upon searching my mail I found a Form 1099-INT form for interest income. I already filed my taxes in February. What should I do about this?

If you need to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been submitted, 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 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 

 

Select your product below and follow the instructions.

Thank you! My taxes were accepted in February and I received my refund in earlyMarch - so I assume that is what “processed” means.

 

I will follow the instructions on whichever product I pick below. Do I have to use the products? Also, is there a possibility the IRS may ask for money back or something? I assume the “Refund Calculator” will tell me at the end? The 1099–INT was under $200.

Yes, if you have received your refund, your return is fully processed. 

 

You don't have to do your amended return in TurboTax, but it's easier than doing it on paper and there's no extra charge. 

 

If you did your return in TurboTax Online, pick that option. If you bought a disc or download and installed it on your computer, pick the second option. 

 

Because the form you are adding is additional income, you may owe some tax back to the IRS, but it shouldn't be very much.

Thank you so much! All of the information provided is helpful. I’m glad to know there is no charge; I will use Turbox Tax then and use the only version as I did for my initial submission. 🙂
