Need to update my tax return

If you have already filed your return and need to make changes to it after it has been accepted, then you will need to amend the return. 

Start amending your return in TurboTax using these  instructions.

We do recommend that if you are expecting a refund, please wait until you have received the refund before completing the amended process. Reason being, it can take up to 16 weeks for the IRS to process and amended return. 

Keep in mind that you cannot e-file the 1040-X Amended Return. All amended returns must be filed by mail. Mailing instructions will be provided by TurboTax once you have completed the amended return.

Note: The IRS allows up to three years from the date you filed your original return to submit the amended return, if you are expecting a refund. 


If you have not yet filed your return and need to log back into your account and update it,

  1.  Sign in to your account with the same login you used to file your return.
  • If you can't remember, go here so we can help you get log in.

     2. Once you're signed in, click on the orange continue my return
