Below are instructions for amending prior year desktop version of TurboTax

 

TurboTax Desktop

1. Open the TurboTax Desktop software for the year you're amending
   • For example, you must amend your 2023 return in the 2023 version of TurboTax.
2. Under Need to Amend a Filed Return?, select Amend a Filed Return.
   • 2021 and earlier versions of TurboTax may say Amend a return (make changes) after it was filed and accepted by the IRS instead.
3. Select Amend for the return you need to amend.
   • If the return you need to amend doesn’t appear as an option, select Find a Tax File to find and load the return.
4. On the We’ll help you change (amend) your return screen, select Continue.
5. Select Yes, I’ve already filed my return.
6. Choose the option that best applies when asked Tell us a little more about your amend situation and Continue.
7. On the next screen, select Update next to the info you need to change.
8. Continue through the screens, make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return.
9. Don’t forget to select Save As (or Duplicate on Mac) from the File menu when you save a copy of your amended return. This will preserve the tax return you originally filed.
   • Give the file a different name from the original, like 2023_amended_tax_return_Smith

If you want to track the status of your amended return, use the IRS Where's My Amended Return? tracking tool. Allow at least 16 weeks for the IRS to process your amended return.
